Drain Tube cleaning solution not coming out?

My dog has 3 sets of drain tubes on her right now. I've been flushing it out with the solution that the vet gave me, but noticed that I really only see all that I am putting in falling out of 1 of them..the other 2 I never see that much fall out. Petting her tonight it feels like there are squishy air/water pockets under her skin on her back (the tubes are on her stomach). Is this bad if that is the solution? Is this normal? Vet tomorrow - worried now. Thank you to both of you! The emergency vet here is actually the person who put in the tubes, I just wasn't sure if it was something I needed to be concerned about enough to call, because yes it is after midnight here; but, I did, and yes it sounds like the drains are blocked and may need to come out early but she will be fine waiting until tomorrow to see her normal vet. He did say I could try to push some of the fluid down though, since she wasn't in any pain when the areas I felt it were touched. But I think I will leave that to the professionals tomorrow as it won't hurt anything. Thank you for taking the time to answer!
