Holistic Pet Care

You mentioned using Milk Thistle, what about Dandilion in addition? A Holistic vet told me to use both aid the liver.

The reason I ask is my miniature poodle has major epilepsy issues. He's been with me for E years now but his former owner had him on extremely high levels of pheno, which we believe to be the cause of his very high livers values. My vet switched him onto a MUCH lower dose of pheno in conjuntion with KBR, also in a low dose. We finally have his seizures under control. He also takes Denosyl plus the milk thistle and dandilion, which has brought his levels way down. I tried to use Epi Plus but this made no change so we have stopped it.

Does this sound right to you? Or do you have other suggestions? Also we have him on a raw diet with Evo Red meat occationally. He sometimes tends to have a bacteria build up sometimes but we counter with Bac Pak Plus.

Thanks,
Amanda

I would have to agree with Deb here, from what I've studied MetaCam is the least riskest of the bunch.

Whenever giving these make sure to give Milk Thistle to help flush the liver of the toxins left behind.
