Perhaps a vet prescribed milk thistle would be the safest. There are several choices, including the alcohol-free liquid form.

Liver: Milk thistle acts as a liver protectant. It is especially beneficial in animals recovering from parvovirus, inoculations, frequent antibiotic use, exposure to contaminants such as aflatoxin in contaminated commercial food ( 3), jaundice ( 4), toxic byproducts of pharmaceutical drugs and many newer liver diseases coming to scientific light ( 5). It also helps with hepatic lipidosis (replacement of healthy liver cells with fat) and chronic hepatitis. Avizeh, R, Najafzadeh, H., Razij-jalali, M., and Shirali, S.

It's Guaranteed: In addition to the superior quality of our products, you are also protected by our Five-Star Experience or it's FREE. If you’re using the regular enteric-coated tablets, these should not be split or crushed as it will affect the absorption as well as the dosage, so I wouldn’t do that without speaking with your vet first.

How does Milk Thistle work?

We thought you might want to take a look at this blog we have that has lots of good tips on how to naturally manage diabetes in pets: https://nhvpethealth.com/blog/vet-tech-rounds-how-to-best-help-a-diabetic-cat/ Milk thistle generally supports the immune system through its powerful antioxidant, free-radical scavenging action, its ability to preserve the supply of another important antioxidant, glutathione, as well as direct effects on immune cells. Glutathione, which is stored primarily in the liver, naturally declines over time, and depletion of this protein appears to accelerate the aging process. Denamarin helps to protect liver cells from toxins and inflammatory damage, and improves liver function.
