Should I continue Denamarin if my dog's liver is better but he's weak?

Question

hello my dog got Steroid shot a week ago together with Deramaxx! what was a big mistake by our vet After a big mod change and a lot of drinking we did a blood test and seen that his liver is not functioning well. so the vet gives him Denamarin. What's helped a lot! after 3 days with Denamarin, we did the blood test again, what came back in the normal range! Great! But he is still laying down and look like he is really weak. Should We keep giving him the Denamaring even after the blood test is no. Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Male | neutered | 79 lbs

I would continue the Denamarrin for at least 4-6 weeks because this is how long the effects of steroids on the liver can last. I'm sorry you're having to go through this. Hopefully since his numbers are improving his mood and energy will follow. Good luck!
