How to Treat your Cat's or Dog's Liver Disease

The liver is a large organ that performs a variety of important functions both in the biochemical and physiological pathways of your pet. The liver partakes in helping digestion, detoxifying the blood stream, repleneshing the nutrient supply, synthesizing plasma protein, storing glycogen, fighting diseases, and promoting healthy growth. Since this organ is involved in many tasks, it's not surprising that there are a variety of negative consequences when liver disease develops. However, it takes time for these negative effects to become apparent, as the liver has a great reserve capacity. As a result of this characteristic, liver disease generally does not begin to show itself until two-thirds or more of the organ is affected.

For pet owners who have dogs, be advised that liver disease is a relatively common disorder among older dogs.

Symptoms of Liver Disease

Ascites (fluid build up in the abdomen)
Confusion
Convulsions (in extreme circumstances)
Dark colored urine
Decreased appetite
Depression
Diarrhea
Excessive thirst otherwise known as polydipsia
Excessive urination otherwise known as polyuria
Expanded abdomen due to fluid retention
Jaundice (yellowing of the gums, whites of eyes and even the skin)
Lethargy
Pale gums and associated bleeding tendencies
Vommiting
Weakness
Weight loss

Possible Causes of Liver Disease

Altered blood flow to the liver due to heart disease or a congenital abnormality
Poisonous substances eaten by the pet
Viral and bacterial infections
(*For dogs, please note that some breeds such as Bedlingtons and West Highland White Terriers do not excrete copper as they should)

Customer A

"She just kept getting worse and then one night we came across your web site that spoke about liquid milk thistle. So we started using it and slowly but surely she has gotten so healthy that you would not even know it is the same dog."

Customer B

"My wonderful Aussie, Kira started to not eat. [It] was a battle to get her to eat anything. And she started losing weight.

I always take her mountain biking with me since she was a little puppy. One day when we were out she was running very slowly which is not like her. So I took her to the emergency vet who said she was just fine, which I did not believe. So on Monday I took her to my regular vet who noticed that her abdomen was full of fluid, and a e ray could not work because of the fluid. She then sent me to another vet who had a another screening device . The name escapes me at this minute. But she was able to see that Kira's liver was very very small and diseased, and told me that she would not live to be a old dog.

I was destroyed. She is everything to me. She set us up with Milk thistle Marin and other pills. She just kept getting worse and then one night we came across your web site that spoke about liquid milk thistle. So we started using it and slowly but surely she has gotten so healthy that would not even know it is the same dog.

The vet is just delighted as am I. She has gained 12 lbs and runs and plays like nothing is wrong with her. She has got so used to me hand feeding her that it is the only way she will eat. She still will not eat dry dog food but hey I can live with that. I would swear that when we started using the liquid milk thistle in conjunction with the other Marin [milk thistle] she just starting getting better. If you looked at her now you would never know that she was sick. So that is my story, thanks Dale"

Customer C

"My dog Bingo has had a bad liver for a while now, probably from polluted water. We tried quite a few things to get him back to health but nothing quite seemed to work. Our vet is great and does everything he can. We decided to try something different so went on the internet looking for some kind of supplement which was not full of chemicals. Luckily, we landed on your site and found Milk Thistle. It was within our price range, so we got it. The results were really great. Bingo reacted well to it, his liver condition has gradually improved and he has more energy than he has had for ages! Thank you for your help Katie New Orleans, LA"

Customer D

"My dog, George is so much better on it. I really think that the Milk Thistle has helped with that immensely. He has never had the appetite that he now has. He is a runt sheltie and I used to have to almost beg him to eat; to hand feed him. He now relishes his meals and loves treats as well. He now is a slim 13 + lbs. Shelties normally weigh between 20 - 25 lbs. He is doing GREAT! I'm so glad I found you online! Ellen Davis"

Customer E

"My cat Freddie is so cool. He has huge amounts of energy, a great personality and the cutest little face. I always know when Freddie is ill and the most recent time it was worse than I thought as he had liver disease. The vet gave me various treatments for Freddie and I also looked for some kind of natural supplement which someone told me was a good idea too. Milk Thistle was what they were talking about. Soon after ordering, it arrived and I started administering it to Freddie. I am not kidding you, I really noticed the difference. Freddie is well on his way to good health and I just wanted to say thanks and encourage anyone else who has a cat with liver disease to try Milk Thistle"

"My 8 year old rat terrier, Larry, was diagnosed with a liver tumor in February 2007. The veterinarian did not give us an optimistic prognosis. We opted not to do surgery. I researched liver disease in dogs which lead me to your website. Since treating Larry with the liquid milk thistle, his condition has improved. That was 6 months ago. We continue to hope for the best and will continue the treatment with the liquid milk thistle. I encourage anyone who has a dog to try this treatment rather than put them through unnecessary and painful surgery. His quality of life is what we were concerned with and at this time he is living large! Tamara in Houston Texas"

Customer G

"I just wanted to say Thank You from the bottom of my heart.

My precious little "girl" Sabrina suffers from chronic hepatitis, and her vet stressed that giving her milk thistle would help her a lot. We tried giving her pills, but that didn't work out at all.

I happened upon your website about 6 weeks ago and ordered liquid milk thistle your company offered.

Not only was it much easier to administer, but I just received the results of Sabrina's recent blood work. It's nothing short of a miracle! Her blood count numbers, while I don't know exactly what each means went from 2290 down to 278!!! Another count went from 812 to 159!

I cannot tell you how grateful I am for this product. Again, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Sincerely, Ann Ponchak"
