krissn333 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I've seen milk thistle mentioned here to help with liver stuff...Ace has had some bilirubin showing up in her urine...not enough to really concern our vet but he did mention that it could mean her liver isn't terribly happy. Thought I'd give this milk thistle a try...but I don't know what it is...is it a pill or a liquid? Where do I get it and how much should she get a day? She weighs 60 lbs.

ShantisMom Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 You can get it any health food store. They have pill and liquid. If you get the liquid, make sure it is alcohol free. My girl is 60lbs and I give her one capsule (1 - 175 mg opened on her food) at dinner time. As I have been told, the liver regenerates at night. So it is best at dinner or before bed. Someone had told me do 5 days on, 2 days off. Quote The Girls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubcitypam Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 They sell it at Walgreens, CVS and WalMart. The prices at Walmart are good. It is a herb that helps liver function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burpdog Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I buy it at Whole Foods or a health food store. Heart was on it for a long time. One a day (I gave it in the capsule form) Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeofNE Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 My vet told me to give George Milk Thistle (after the Valerian Root she also told me to give him caused one of his liver enzymes to go nuts!!! Her bad--she feels just terrible about it, but did she do the follow up blood work for free? Oh no...) to "repair" his liver. I'm giving him one capsule in each meal. I'm lucky--anything in the bowl, he eats! Quote Susan, Hamish, Mister Bigglesworth and Nikita Stanislav. Missing Ming, George, and Buck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
