I cannot give you advice but share personal experience.
My first experience with Hygromas (liquid under the elbows) was with my dog Lunatica Crying Wolf.
She had them on both elbows.
I made the great mistake to let my vet take the liquid out with syringe on one of the elbow.
It returned worst than before
I took away liquid again... again it returned.
At 1 year old, considering she is small, the elbow i took liquid from bacame very bad, so I decided to operate her and take a way the small cushion which is under the elbow.
It resulted perfectly and never had problems since.
on the other elbow, the one I never took liquid away from and which was never touched... the hygroma disappeared with time.
I spoke to several people and all confirmed same behaviour.
What would I do if it happened again? leave it, let it be, till 1 year or 15 months, then if necessary directly operate and take the "cushion" off
