Hi Sharon – So sorry to hear about your Kona. We recently (3 weeks ago) had a plural port put in our 6yr old GSD. It has been an emotional roller coaster. She has lost a significant amount of weight and is very picky about her food. We are at a loss. This forum has been great.
To answer your question…it is pretty easy, although unnerving, to drain the port yourself. In fact we did it last night. Drained 4 liters of chyle in about 90 mins. It’s a slow process, but very doable at home and much more cost effective than going to the vet.
