Liver Disease
Pet Liver Supplements
There are many causes of liver disease in pets and your vet will have done some tests to diagnose liver disease. Signs can include a poor appetite, weight loss, sometimes an obvious jaundice (yellowing of the eyes and gum colour), vomiting and lethargy. Sometimes increased drinking. If your pet has any of these symptoms, please make a vet appointment.
There are veterinary diets available to help liver disease by having easily digestible protein content and often being lower in fat and high in antioxidants and omega fatty acids. They are usually very palatable to encourage eating.
Supplements are available with antioxidants, vitamins, and sometimes herbal supplements are included in these such as milk thistle. Supplements have been anecdotally thought to help although there is no evidence based research to confirm this.
