Hi there. I personally love Denamarin for liver support. denosyl is another go to for my clients. There are also prescription diets like LD from hills science diet that seem to help quite a bit with my long term cases of liver failure. Iv fluids may help as well to flush the liver. I hope this helps and that Bailey gets well soon!

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I love Denamarin for liver support but have also used prescription food on top of this for a better effect. My favorite is probably Hills Sience Diet LD but Purina and Royal Canin have comparable diets as well. If there is significant damage, supplementation alone might not work-depending on the progression of the disease and the nature (has an ultrasound been performed to check for tumors, etc?) it may be a matter of time or it could potentially be operable. I would recommend seeking out a skilled ultrasonographer to determine your options if these suggestions do not help you, or if you are looking for concrete answers quickly. I hope this helps.

The results suggest liver inflammation/ mild damage to some the the liver cells. It could be due to infection, mild intoxication, chronic hepatitis etc. As the results are not veyr high, the best way to treat is the provide supplements to speed up liver recovery and re-test the liver enzymes in 4-5 weeks. You should get for Grissom food supplement containing SAMe, (you will find more on SAMe here: https://www.petcoach.co/article/s-adenosylmethionine-same-an-aid-to-managing-liver-disease/ ). Denosyl is a very good supplement containing SAMe but you will probably find cheaper options at your vets, pet shops or online.
