I'm going to ask the local vet tomorrow. I am afraid he will say he has never done it and I should go to Red bank, which is so far away and stresses her so much. I know they will do it there. The problem with draining is that it usually comes right back. But some people say it takes a few weeks to come back, though most say a few days. Apparently injecting dexamethasone into the abdominal cavity after draining can slow its refilling time, but my vet has already told me he is afraid to give an intra-abdominal injection.

Can they aspirate any of the fluid off to relieve the pressure? I'm really behind on mail, sorry! Phaewryn
