Nancy,
I had to take Ruby back to be tapped this morning. Another 4 liters of Chyle. So it’s pretty certain that her situation is not improving since the surgery in mid Oct. All of your comments are greatly appreciated. Yes, it was very hard to decide to do surgery. Luckily they were able to perform the thoracic duct ligation laproscopically so it was not as traumatic on her. I do have to question if they would have been able to identify more of the veins to clip if they had opened her up, but it does no good to second guess at this point. Best wishes on your journey. I would like to believe that your dog will be one of the dogs that has spontaneous recovery and improves with management through diet.
