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.
