Question
my yorky had one (1) puppy, and most of her breasts are swollen and lumpy, is there a tool to drain the breasts of the excess milk?

Answer
Just keep moving the puppy around to make sure that it is utilizing all the nipples. Sometimes they seem to have a favorite and want to go to the same one all the time. Be sure you don't give her too much food; she won't need very much extra with only one puppy. This will resolve in a few days.
