Chylothorax is a problem of the lymph system leading to the buildup of chyle. It can be in the lungs and in the abdoman so far I’ve seen and my patients need a chest tube or direct aspiration to pull it out. One of my former patients went home on Octreotide, an oral med. Ask your doc about that. I’m not sure if they have a dog equivalent.
