The signs of liver damage:
-rapid weight loss-pale gums
-concentrated dark and smelly urine
-weakness and lethargy
-a jaundiced look and refusal to eat
Milk thistle is a proven liver rejuvenator, but is exogenous (not found in common food). Your dogs liver is its largest internal organ and works around the clock filtering toxins from the blood.
Because the liver works so hard at filtering and eliminating all of these toxic substances, it is highly susceptible to serious damage. Toxins from additives in your dogs diet, from medications, vaccines, free radicals, bacteria and viruses are all passed through the liver for cleansing, it's a tough job!
Your dogs liver will always need some help and mother nature has just the thing - Milk Thistle!
What's in Milk Thistle For Dogs Liver?
Milk thistle is a flower and it's seeds and roots have been used in medicine for 2000 years. The active mixed ingredient needed, silymarin has been promoted for dogs as highly beneficial for liver and kidney damage.
Milk Thistle for Dogs BenefitsLiver damage is very common in dogs, especially if subsisting on a commercial processed diet and taking in regular medications and vaccines. Milk thistle will prove a powerful antioxidant to the free radical damage caused by various chemicals floating around your dogs body.
If the liver is damaged or weakened, it will be less able to break down toxins and will begin to store them and release what's called histamines to protect itself. To combat allergens, the brain sends signals for the liver to release histamines and a weakened liver is far less able to remove these histamines as they continue to build up in the body. What then begins to take place is an allergic response such as sneezing, asthma, hives, ear infections, streaming eyes etc.
Milk thistle will help repair the liver damage so it can continue effectively flushing out toxins. Milk thistle will also help in the repair of a damaged kidney, decrease the effects of cancer and has proven effective in the lessening of the amount of insulin needed in the treatment of diabetes. Milk thistle will help flush out the following toxins from your dogs body:
• Vaccine chemicals
• Pesticide residues
• Antibiotics• Steroids
• All medications
• Household and yard chemicals
• Pet food chemicals
Giving Milk Thistle to Dogs:Milk thistle is best used as a liver cleanser to aid in liver recovery by stimulating new liver cell growth and protect against further toxin damage.The recommended tincture extract of milk thistle contains 70 to 80% silymarin and should be labeled. Give the tincture starting dose of 1/4 tsp. per 20lbs of your dogs lean body weight per day divided by two daily doses.
You can also get it in powdered capsule form. Give 50mg per 20lbs of your dogs lean body weight twice per day AM and PM for four months. For example, 100mg or 200mg capsules can be opened and divided as needed by bodyweight and added to daily meals.And don't use milk thistle on pregnant and lactating dogs.

@@DanScott1 wowTHANK YOU ! ! Yes absolutely 💯!
I’m sure that’s why your channel was recommended to me because I’ve been studying now for 2 years .
And I’m ever so grateful for your content! You are a gift to someone like me ! My dog was diagnosed with DCM 25 months ago . At the emergency room , the cardiologist enrolled our American Bully Sage into the FDA heart study . Because I was feeding grain free kibble Acanna and Origin. ( grain free recommended by the vet, because of allergies in the dog. ) and then after the DCM ( collapsed left side ) diagnosis , the veterinarian, told me to feed Hills science .. I just couldn’t feed my baby another piece of kibble , so I weened her to a BARF diet . Not feeding her any sweet potato because she’s on heart meds for the rest of her life and the sweet tat interacts with the heart meds .
I gave her the first dose of Milk T last night and when we woke up the morning she has a different GLOW TO HERSELF! 🕊️🤍🙏🏼❤️🔥🫶🏽🙏🏼BROVO Dr. Dan Scott ! Thank you ! Please keep feeding my brain all the wisdom! I believe in the power of Gods herbs ! She was givin a 5 month life expectancy after she was first seen by the cardiologist. It’s been 25 months now because of the diet I feed her her vet said she’s never seen a recovery like Sages ! She even said it’s a miracle! This has taught me so much , LET FOOD BE THY MEDICINE 🤍🙏🏼
I regret that doctor didn’t mention if this should be a dogs grade milk thistle or any other could be fine. This is an important point to know!!

Well explanation on milk thistle for dogs liver which is very helpful....Thanks for sharing!!!
My pleasure 😊 Glad it helped and thenks for watching.
I am so happy to have found your site Dan! We recently were told our beloved dog has advanced liver disease with signs of a mass during scan. She is on a bland diet of turkey and rice, Tralieve for pain and 400 mg of hepatosyl plus a day, which I know has silybum but only a small amount. We want to give her milk thistle tincture as well but wanted to check if you feel this would be harmful on top of the hepatosyl. (We know our vet is the first port of call, but while she is very competent she's not as enthusiastic about natural care as we would like...) Thanks so much for your thoughts!
Yes it's fine to give Milk thistle extract: amzn.to/3mjJlJM with the hepatosyl.
Also I highly recommend dandelion extract for the liver and other health benefits: amzn.to/33KWWT6
. This helps remove toxins from the body through waste via the kidneys. It's also a great antioxidant, much needed. Start small and slow and build up the dose (as with every food/supplement).
I recommend a raw food diet for the condition, you need to be all out on this really. Also, the mass, is that cancer?
To shift that you'll need a strong protocol, something I can help with but not here, there's lots to it, as you can imagine.
I do have a One to One dog health email consultation and support serivce that may be the more natural help your looking for: healthydogforlife.com/one-to-one-total-dog-health-service/
All the best.
@@DanScott1 Hi Dan, thank you so much for your reply! It turns out she is on the top dose level for milk thistle with her current supplement so that is good. And we're big fans of dandelion but hadn't thought of it for dogs. I'll look into it.
Unfortunately yes the mass is cancer, and she's not a candidate for surgery at her age. We will continue to look at this with food and more holistic care, and I'll check out your one to one service as I appreciate a UA-cam chat isn't the best platform for that level of detail. We aren't covered by insurance for any of this as its a reoccurring issue following previous mast cell tumours we had treated years ago when we were out of country and uninsured as a result, so our funds are limited, but we'll keep doing our very best. Thank you again so so much!
What’s your opinion on densynol the liver supplement
I don't know this product, is it natural?
My best recommendation is Milk Thistle: amzn.to/3BjPOZJ
Very informative video! I would like to share something with everybody that I experienced: I lost my best friend because of liver disease. He had what was called copper storage. This is becoming a big issue with dogs. More and more copper is being put in to commercial dog food! Our dogs are getting too much copper these days and that kills the liver! All dog lovers and dog owners out there please look into this! I don't want this to happen to anyone else! God bless!
Thank you for sharing this information, much appreciated.
The only way to manage a situation like this as I see it is to get in touch with the pet food manufacturer and find out how much copper they add to their dog food. The AFFCO minimum is 7.3mg, so it should not really be much more than this and the best foorm of copper currently added to pet food is copper chelate.
It's the pet parents resposilbilty to control their dogs diet, no one else will help and certainly not vets.
Just putting it out there for concious pet parents on behalf of PB.
@@DanScott1 thank you so much for this information thank you so much!
@@3520506 My pleasure.
Did your dog exhibit any symptoms that led to the copper storage diagnosis? My dog has increasing liver ALT levels, and the vet is suggesting it could be copper toxicity as one possible issue. Just curious to know how you got to finding out what it was etc
how do you serve the liquid milk thistle. with food ? before food ?
With food. Give the tincture starting dose of 1/4 tsp. per 20lbs of your dogs lean body weight per day divided by two daily doses.
Hi Mr.Dan! Love your holistic approach and subscribed from Malaysia! I'm hesitant to give my dog heartworm preventative but seems like no other choice as Malaysia is hyperendemic area for mosquitoes, so when I give him monthly ivermectin/pyrantel, I figure is best to immediately detox him for 2 weeks, what do you think? My dog is 1 year old and 6lbs, is he too young for this and how many drops should I put this into his meal? Appreciate your reply!
If you can get Black Walnut, Clove & Wormwood Extract:
Milk Thistle is fine for your young dog. 1/8th tsp per day.
For flea/tick prevention use neem oil and dab on the dogs exposed areas when out: amzn.to/3iV0Igq
Should be able to find it locally.
Ivermectins ok but pyrental is poison.
Please think twice about giving your dog these worming tablets. My dog went completely blind over night from taking these poisons. He now has a damaged liver and a tumour in his neck and stomach. It’s heartbreaking to watch my dog looking so sad because he can’t see. I’m absolutely gutted and annoyed with myself for giving him a chemical that attacks them nervous system of a flea or tick. I think what an idiot i am, It’s obvious these poisons could seriously harm an animal. Please don’t do it, you really don’t want to be in my situation. Very sad times right now for me and my dog 🙁

Does this help a dog with chronic active hepatitis due to a copper issue? Does this help subside the disease? Thanks!
Yes it does. Milk Thistle, or silymarin, helps protect the liver and supports regeneration of liver cells. Buy organic milk
thistle in powder or tincture form. Give 1-2 drops of tincture or 100mg powder per 10 lbs of body weight, 1-4 times daily.

Add this greens supplement to cover a whole range of medicinal/nutritive support: : amzn.to/3cOgzLu
Plus add some protect to the diet: amzn.to/33P2P1i
To support gut health which underlies the condition.
How do you determine the % of silymarin if most tinctures don’t have it labeled. They label mg and ratio, but most I found don’t label the %. In powdered form they do label %, but liquid is so much easier for my dog. Please help. Thank you. Also I have a 9 lbs dog , is it still 1/4 teaspoon divided in 2 parts?
Milk thistle extract: amzn.to/3mjJlJM
With the above tincture, here's the dosing:
General dosing is about 1 drop per pound of body weight.
About 3-4 drops for small pets up to 20 pounds (cat/dogs) with mild liver conditions = 108 144mg/day
About 9 drops for small pets up to 20 pounds (cats/dogs) with severe liver conditions = 322mg/day
You can space the timings of each drop throughout the day if you prefer and have the time to dose your pet, but you can also dose all at once, too.
"For dogs with advanced liver disease, a dosage as high as 200 mg per 10 pounds of body weight is possible. For other liver problems or health conditions, 75 to 100 mg per 10 pounds of body weight per day is sufficient to see results." **Remember to check with your veterinarian if you are not sure.**
If milk thistle causes upset stomach, gas, or mild diarrhea in your dogs, simply reduce the dosage.
Most small pets (cats/dogs) under 20 pounds can take up to 300mg/day on average for medical treatment. It is not recommended as a daily vitamin in general in high amounts. Small amounts such as 1-2 drops/day should be okay.
Hi, Dan! First of all, thank you so much for all the advice and suggestions to provide for us pet parents. 🙏
If I could get some clarity on how much milk thistle I should give my 20 lbs dog. I ordered the product linked here from Nature’s Answer 2,000 mg Milk Thistle Seed Alcohol-Free. Since this is a supplement is a higher mg, how many drops should I start giving him with his meal. He does have high liver enzymes and most likely Cushing disease further tested will follow in a couple of month. Thanks again for all your do and your time. 🙏
Your welcome Belinda. Give the tincture starting dose of 1/4 tsp. per 20lbs of your dogs lean body weight per day divided by two daily doses.
@@DanScott1 to Belinda's point. Should we be concerned that the concentration is 2,000mg per serving (not 50mg)?
@@jonathanduran8669 Please read my reply to Berlinda.
Hello Dan,
Thank you for the great video. I was wondering if I could give my dog milk thistle (silymarin) made for human.
Right now I have the
NOW brand / milk thistle extract - 300mg
Could you please recommendation doses?
My dog is about 75pounds.
For tincture, give a starting dose of 1/4 tsp per 20 lbs of body weight per day, split into 2 to 4 equal doses. If you use powder, give 2-5 mg per 1 lb of body weight, 2 to 3 times per day. Give for 6 weeks then stop two weeks before going again and rotate this way.
Hi Mr.Scott
Thanks for this informative video. My 9-year old chihuahua recently became intoxicated from taking an anti-flea medication known as Bravecto. She was perfectly healthy and now suffers from seizures. The vet put her on Keppra and an liver protector which active ingredient is Silibinin. These worked for a while, but seizures are slowly coming back. I've heard about detoxing with Milk Thistle on a Facebook group. My question is, would any of the meds she is currently taking affect the detox process with Milk Thistle?
Yes unfortunatly anti-flea meds can do that (I have a natural alternative). Yes Keppra becomes less effective after a while. The Silibinin is a constituent of Milk Thistle as is Silimarin, the focus of the Facebook group discussion no doubt.
For Milk Thistle to be effective, use for 5 months straight daily (effects around 3-4 months), stop 1 month then use again for 5 months daily. It's slow but effective over time at repairing liver damage and regenerating liver cells. I like to use a tincture with high silimarin content: Milk thistle extract: amzn.to/3mjJlJM
I've also made a video all about Milk Thistle.
I also advocate CBD oil for seizure control. Some great studies on this and combined with a healthier diet of fresh food, my results have been a 90% reduction in seizures.
I also recommend MCT oil (from coconut oil). Another tested remedy that works very well for seizure dogs: amzn.to/3Es3zqk
If the Keppra is not working so much now, I'd stop it and use CBD oil, this is an excellent option: healthydogforlife.com/CBD
Just get the size that fits your dog.
Personally, I'd stop the vet meds and focus on a healtheir fresh food diet, milk thistle, MCT oil and CBD oil to really bring the seizures under control and bring real health to my dog.
Hope this helps.
@@DanScott1 Thank you sooo much! I went to my local dispensary and got her some CBD oil. I will continue to detox her with milk thistle & I am taking her off kibble to feed her fresh food. I really hope the combination of all of this helps her. Also ordered MCT from amazon.
Thanks again, I've been watching a lot of your content and it's eye opening as someone who has been a dog owner for a long time. I really like the concept a having a holistic approach to their health.
@@arlenemeza6584 Excellent Arlene, yes it will make a difference as you'll notice soon.
A holistic approach is the way of health... welcome aboard Arlene.
Hi! Thank you for this info! The vet recently told me that my 10 yr Cockapoo liver enzymes were slightly elevated. She recommended Denamarin. I currently have him on that, he has a balanced diet of grass-fed organic meats, ziwi peaks, fruits, veggies, bone broth. I want to give him Milk Thistle, i’m just not sure if I should continue with the denamarin and give him Milk Thistle as well. I would love some insight! Thank you for a wonderful video!
Denamarin is good but may be expensive. Milk thistle is good too, can be given together or just use the Milk thistle: Milk thistle extract: amzn.to/3mjJlJM (2 drops per 10lb 1-4 times daily)
@@DanScott1 Great! Thank you for your reply! I just purchased the milk thistle
@@kaikani Your welcome Kai. Remember, 5 months on then stop 1 month off before using again.
I myself have been taking milk thistle for 9 years now as I consume protein and was seriously considering feeding my dog a bit of it because of his liver, which,strangely, has gor intoxicated and no apparent cause despite having had a series of exams, even am ultrasound. His kibbles are alll-natural, no preservatives but maybe there's something wrong with the lot. Thank you so much for the video. It's so important to know the dosage.
Hi Rodrigo, here's some diet help I recommend you use:
If you feed kibble, the best thing to do first is remove 50% of the kibble from the bowl and replace with raw eggs (preferably organic), canned sardines (in plain water with skin & bone intact: 12 Pack Sardines - amzn.to/3vaXrj6), some part cooked and blended veggies like broccoli, kale, green beans, spinach, brussel sprouts, bok choy etc and some meat proteins such as chicken meat, even better.
If not liking to prepare vegetables then these freeze dried greens are antioxidant packed to help protect cells from free radical damage, cellular repair, support immunity, joints, skin issues, heart and eye health: Core Immune CARE Greens: shrsl.com/3uv18
Now your dogs getting live enzymes, probiotics, Omega 3 oils, the highest quality proteins and nutritional assimilation from eggs (100%), and antioxidants, minerals and vitamins from vegetables.
Always add a quality probiotic to improve digestion and gut health: (skin issues/yeast/itchy dogs) use this one: amzn.to/3yoURqU and for all other dogs use this one: shrsl.com/3uv7l
If you want an excellent, VERY low carbohydrate kibble at just 5%, (high carbohydrates cause chronic inflammation, with itchy skin, yeast, poor gut health, ear infection, UTI's and hot spots, and nearly all kibbles are 40+% carbs!).
Ketona has high protein at 47% (dogs thrive on proteins), correct fats at 15% and natural additives, so have a look at Ketona Kibble: healthydogforlife.com/KetonaKibble. I recommend still adding the fresh foods even with the best kibble.
By introducing fresh foods, really lowering carbs use, introducing greens, omega 3's, proteins and a better more suitable kibble, your dog will respond with healing and improved health over the next 12 weeks.
Some must do's:
Zero vaxx once adult (auto immune disease issues)
Very low carbs in diet (cause of inflammation)
No vet drugs, there's effective natural alternatives.
Feed a healthier diet with at least 50% fresh food in it.
NO white foods ie rice, potato, pasta..
So at a most basic level, your dog wants more fresh foods added into the diet.
@@DanScott1Wow! I can't thank you enough! I'll do that!
@@rodrigsantsil Excellent, great advice there, actually a $100 consult info for free.
@@DanScott1 Indeed! Thank you so much. I'll come back with feedback!
how much would i give of the Milk Thistle brand you recommended ? and can i add it to his food
my Maltese is 13.5 pounds
Milk Thistle - amzn.to/2kmss13
This is a liquid tincture.
Give the tincture starting dose of 1/4 tsp. per 20lbs of your dogs lean body weight per day divided by two daily doses.
In your Maltese's case just under a 1/4tsp.
And don't use milk thistle on pregnant and lactating dogs.
Is this good for dogs that gave ingested xylitol
Yes.
Hi Mr. Dan,
So I went to the vet for my dogs dental checkup and blood work. In the bloodwork the vet told me that he has high ALT enzymes. She has asked for further testing but that is not in my budget. She recommended Denamarin should I give my dog this supplement to help control this enzyme? And is there anything you recommend? My dog is 1 year old and 56lb. Thank you
High ALT's can be from liver, kidney or gut, hence the further testing. Denamarin is ok.
I fully recommend a diet and lifestyle change.. this is whats needed or the vets will come with drugs and costs.
You can follow the Healthier Kibble Diet in my ebook
: healthydogforlife.com/feed-your-dog-better-book-by-dan-scott/
That would be the best and easiest start and tells you everything to do.
For now, add probiotics to meals: amzn.to/3pZp7oB
and take 25% of the kibble at each meal and replace with eggs, canned sardines and half cooked and well mashed or blended vegetables.
And you must stop all vet drugs, flea&tick treatments, vaccines, dewormers etc NO more chemicals, they cause hight ALTS.
@@DanScott1 Thank you for you response! I do want to add milk thistle in his diet because the vet did mention high alt in the liver how much should I give him? I ordered the brand that you provided in the link. I’m just a bit unsure about how to start.
@@roshnimishra1366 Give the tincture starting dose of 1/4 tsp. per 20lbs of your dogs lean body weight per day divided by two daily doses.

I do the same as you, organic yard, and yes, you can use the Milk Thistle, the more mature the plant the better it's health properties. Same with those dandelions, another amazing plant for us and our dogs. Very bitter so cut up fine and add to food. I use them in my salad too.

Hello, Dan. I have a question. I also have another liver supplement called denamarin. Can I give her both? Or would that be too much? Should I just use one?. Also my dog is 60lbs and I saw the capsules of milk thistle is 150 mg. Does this mean I would have to give her 2 capsules a day? Or is it 150 mg for the whole day

Hi Dan, my name is Christina and I have had my little Oliver since March 2021 he is a year and nine months old. He is a full breed Pomeranian. Ever since we bought him home he always had episodes of throwing up/diarrhea and every time he had these episodes, I would take him to his vet and she would always give him an injection of saline Fluids to make him feel better cause he was dehydrated. They ran blood test on him it showed that he had high levels of hematocrit/hemoglobin. They just said to keep an eye on it but he was getting worse as the time went on.
He then started to throw up blood/bloody stools. I took him to another known Vet in the area she started him on raw food, urine test, A full panel blood work, fecal transplant and we slowly transition him through but before he was able to complete his transition he started to throw up violently. Then at the same vet office we saw a different doctor and she recommended put him back on a home-cooked meal which was what he was on before going to them. We saw their vet nutritionist for a consultation on what to feed Oliver they said it was going to be specially designed or formulated for Oliver’s G.I. issues but what they sent over via email was so fast that I didn’t think it was formulated just for Oliver but I went ahead and went against my gut feeling. Started him on a chicken, liver, spinach, broccoli, red bell pepper, egg, egg shells, zinc, kelp, Ginger, hulled hemp seeds, Cod oil. He seem to do OK on it for about a month or so and then they wanted me to add on fish oil 1 ML When I did this about a day and a half to two days later he started to look nauseous sick he wouldn’t eat the whole day and then all of a sudden he had a very large bowel movement that looked like it was all mucus with A dark red purple color which honestly I thought it was blood. But I don’t know if it was all the vitamins that he was taking and the Fish oil removed it from his intestines. I’m not too sure if that was a good thing or bad thing but I right away went to the vet. They took a poop sample and they said that it wasn’t blood there wasn’t too sure what it was but it wasn’t bloody the poop sample came back normal, They gave him a B12 injection and took more blood for testing. The doctor then suggested to do an ultrasound Which was done a few weeks ago the results came back Showing his adrenal glands one smaller than other and a spot on his liver that was so small that they couldn’t really determine what it was. Now Oliver is going through a ACTH test which was done yesterday and a bile acid testing which will be done on Monday. I honestly don’t know what to do anymore I’ve tried to call the place where I bought him at to see if they could help or suggest anything for him but everybody wants to clean their hands. They said that they only give a one year congenital warranty and honestly I don’t want any of my money back I just want to get him better. He’s honestly a part of my heart and family. Sometimes I feel like the vet that he seeing doesn’t know what they’re doing but I don’t know where else to go because they all seem to do the same thing and I know it’s a let’s try this let’s try that and see how it goes but I wish I could find someone that knows how To handle special cases like Oliver’s. What would you recommend to do for Oliver ?
LATEST BLOOD TEST : Hematocrit 59.3, hemoglobin 22.2, BUN 33, total protein 5.4, Creatine Kinase 260.
Notes made it to lab Work stated specimen required ultracentrifugation Due to gross lipemia. Dogs with hyperlipidemia also called the lipemia have higher than normal amounts of triglycerides and or cholesterol in their bloodstream.
Thank you for the extended details. I'd need to see the history on this to really formulate a diet plan, supplements etc to be able to help you properly.

what can we give as liver support during the one month milk thistle break?
I'd say better to fast the dog each week for 24 hrs on water with a lick of honey if small dog getting trembly. This way you clean out the system and a great health practice.
FOR THE LIVER:
NAC and SAMe improve detoxification, reduce inflammation and are antioxidants. NAC or SAMe for dogs is: amzn.to/3OWnaDW
Feed plenty of high quality proteins, some liver 10% of meal and lots of part cooked and blended veggies really help too.

Love your videos 😊 just found today that my 4 1/2 yorkie got fluid around her liver and also her liver is small 😔 the vet given us some meds for the fluid to go away and if that doesn't work he said is nothing he can't do for her!! If this works out would the milk be good for her?
MT, Yes, good for the liver, therefor the kidneys. What the dog needs is fresh food too, healthy supplementation and zero drugs, vaccs etc. I recommend changing from dry food to raw pre-made meals over 1 month, slowly and a few supplements. Can you do that?
@@DanScott1 she was on premade raw food all her life until 1 month, she was puking and had diarrhea also ! Her fluid in her liver is gone after taking the medication! Now she's need to put weight on she's all bones, she needs protein which is very low 😔 once she's back on track going to make homemade food which I made before when she was sick and puke that up also! She only got puppy vaccinations! From my research a dog with small liver don't live a long life 🥺
@@nancybordage3140 Maybe from the vaccs. (no more, ok). She can live long, you just have to keep her diet clean and fresh, no vet drugs and add antioxidants to stop the body rusting up, so to speak: healthydogforlife.com/GreenImmuneSuperfood
Keep carbs very low. Proteins to put on weight: eggs, various meats, sardines.

My Pepper was also dx with severe urinary in 2021. For possible urethral outflow obstruction or neurogenic atony of urinary bladder. He being treated with bethanechol 1/4 twice a day but he peeing once every time he goes out side and tries to do more but just drip and also making normal body movements. Thank you again
I think Pepper is a small dog, so give a half tsp of ACV apple cider vinegar in food once daily to help the flow.
Hello Dan
New update we took Pepper back to the clinic and had them do a urine test because of him not urinary as much or very little we found out he had a UTI. He was given antibiotic called clavacillin 1/2 pill every 12 hrs for two week and he also take bethanechol 10 mg for bladder issues 1/4, twice a day . Finally pepper back on denamarin because the denosly wasn’t helping his liver result . So n speaking to the new veterinarian which took an ultrasound has said because of earlier dx of hyperechoic of last year ultrasound these typical are non cancerous… Dan with all of these medicine he’s taking could he have an reaction with any of these? Thank you Dan I appreciate the information you provided and any feedback you can give me…. Thank you

Hi Dan! I recently came across your page looking for help as I am currently still doing so, just a question though, I found a pup on the street and I’m guessing he was dumped due to health issues, I suspect that he had high bilirubin currently due to his dark and strong urine which is now a sort of green color, he isn’t showing signs of jaundice though, would milk thistle be a good idea in my case I just want what’s best for him ❤️
It's going to help the liver: Milk thistle extract: amzn.to/3mjJlJM (2 drops per 10lb 1-4 times daily)
But diet is the key, that and zero vaxx, vet drugs or any synthetics as his kidneys are whats showing up in the pee.
Here's some help if feeding kibbles:
If you feed kibble, the best thing to do first is remove 50% of the kibble from the bowl and replace with raw eggs (preferably organic), canned sardines (in plain water with skin & bone intact: 12 Pack Sardines - amzn.to/3vaXrj6), some part cooked and blended veggies like broccoli, kale, green beans, spinach, brussel sprouts, bok choy etc and some meat proteins such as chicken meat, even better.
If not liking to prepare vegetables then these freeze dried greens are antioxidant packed to help protect cells from free radical damage, cellular repair, support immunity, joints, skin issues, heart and eye health: Core Immune CARE Greens: shrsl.com/3uv18
Now your dogs getting live enzymes, probiotics, Omega 3 oils, the highest quality proteins and nutritional assimilation from eggs (100%), and antioxidants, minerals and vitamins from vegetables.
Always add a quality probiotic to improve digestion and gut health: (skin issues/yeast/itchy dogs) use this one: amzn.to/3yoURqU and for all other dogs use this one: shrsl.com/3uv7l
If you want an excellent, VERY low carbohydrate kibble at just 5%, (high carbohydrates cause chronic inflammation, with itchy skin, yeast, poor gut health, ear infection, UTI's and hot spots, and nearly all kibbles are 40+% carbs!).
Ketona has high protein at 47% (dogs thrive on proteins), correct fats at 15% and natural additives, so have a look at Ketona Kibble: healthydogforlife.com/KetonaKibble. I recommend still adding the fresh foods even with the best kibble.
By introducing fresh foods, really lowering carbs use, introducing greens, omega 3's, proteins and a better more suitable kibble, your dog will respond with healing and improved health over the next 12 weeks.
@@DanScott1 Thank you so very much Dan I really appreciate the response, I’m going to try everything I can and definitely follow your advice! I hope you have a wonderful day and Thank you again for being such a help, not only myself, but to every owner who comes across your page ❤️ I will be recommending you to friends and family for pup help❕❤️

Hi there I have a 6 year old chihuahua he has a liver shunt. I feed him kibble for chihuahuas with chicken, carrot, peas or broccoli , pasta or rice sometimes..is this ok ?
Sometimes I give him ham or a treat but it doesn't help him he gets a bad tummy. .what do you advise
. Sometimes he doesnt eat until later on in the day. What treats do you recommend he lives smelly food. He likes cheese is this ok? Thanks
Gi Gem, I'd begin adding eggs, veg and canned sardines (packed in water) to the meals and take out some of the kibble. This much healthier and more enjoyable to eat.
Crush the veg for better digestion.
These are great treats to give: amzn.to/386xLZW
Add some high quality probiotics to all meals: amzn.to/3xqa2i0

All this will really make an excellent and healthy difference.
How many drops for 12 pound dog
The recommended tincture extract of milk thistle contains 70 to 80% silymarin and should be labeled. Give the tincture starting dose of 1/4 tsp. per 20lbs of your dogs lean body weight per day divided by two daily doses.

We have a 14 pound Dachshund that is 14 years old that is having liver trouble. How much milk thistle should we give her? We have the eye dropper bottle from Amazon
Give the tincture starting dose of 1/4 tsp. per 20lbs of your dogs lean body weight per day divided by two daily doses if feeding twice.
So that's a third less than 1/4tsp. If you have the correct kitchen measuring spoons, you can eyeball it.
What would you recommend for a 25lb 2 year old French bulldog to detox from bravecto? He had his first dose ever yesterday and after I gave it to him I looked it up and found horrible things about it and I just desperately want to get it out of his system. He also drinks alkaline 9.5 water which makes time realise meds flush through your system quicker and I don't know if it will hurt him or help him
Yes, stay away from this nonsense. Use the water to flush, good idea. He'll be fine. Ask me if you have an issue to fix.
@@DanScott1 omg Thank you thank you thank you! So the alkaline water will help it flush quicker? I just was worried about overdosing him on the bravecto if it flushed through his system too fast bc the water, also would a little milk thistle help his liver process it better?
@@fm6683 It will affect the kidneys more than the liver but one dose will not be a big problem. And yes, if you have milk thistle, use it. Always good for helping liver function. For the kidneys, more fresh food in the diet such as part cooked and blended veg, canned sardines (in water), some eggs are excellent and some meat protein.
We bought the milk thistle you suggested on Amazon but it does not say the percentage of silybum marianum . It says 2000 mg (1:1) dry herb equivalent so would I still give your recommend dosage??
Yes. 1/4 tsp. per 20lbs of your dogs lean body weight per day. It's got the silymarin the dog needs.
@@DanScott1 Thank you I was confused on if you cut the quarter teaspoon and a half and do that twice a day or a quarter teaspoon twice a day
@@tommybokelman5565 No worries. Run it for 5 months, stop 1 month (to rest) then you can run it again for 5 months if needed.
Hello Mr. Scott,
I just found out recently from my dog’s blood test result that she has over 200% severe disfunctional kidney and liver. Is there any way I can use this to help restore it and save her? I know its mainly for the liver but can it help her kidneys also? Would it have any negative effect on them? Could you please let me know if there is some other supplement that can help her kidneys also?
She is a senior dog (16 years old) and has not been eating for about two weeks, not drinking as much water, vomiting bile, lethargic, and not going to the bathroom. I have taken her to the vet already who suggets to put her to sleep but I want to hear a second opinion , I really want to save her..
This is an emergency situation. She must have a more raw food style diet and supplements to try and bring her back from the edge.
Right now I'd see if you can get her to eat some bone broth: amzn.to/3zgsN8M
Make it warm and if she doesnt eat it, use a turkey blaster and force it in from the side teeth.
Get some coconut water from the super market and give her that to drink.
Then come back to me here, I'll help.
My vet put my 100 lb lab on dexamethasone and it enlarged her liver by 5 inches within a week of being on it! He had her on 18mg/day to kill off a potential pregnancy. She has been in hospital for past 48 hours on heavy antibiotic IV and her liver is now reduced to only 3 inches extended. Hoping to get her out in the next 24 hours if it continues to go down. (Liver enzymes were at 2000 and were now down to 1900.) I think hospital is going to give us additional antibiotics and liver supplements for at home care. Should I get some milk thistle to assist her with liver recovery? Any recommendations. thank you
Yes, milk thistle: Milk thistle extract: amzn.to/3mjJlJM (2 drops per 10lb 1-4 times daily)
Will also need some strong probiotics as gut will be shredded: amzn.to/3yoURqU
Plus kidneys will need support too if liver is in bad shape: Kidney Support Gold: amzn.to/3KB679O
And finally.. Diet! The dog needs fresh food in the diet not just dry food, especially now. Think eggs, meat proteins, canned sardines, part cooked veggies & blended.

Do you have any suggestions on how to treat low liver enzymes? My 7 year old beagle's enzymes have been dropping and are no longer in a normal range. An ultrasound showed that his liver is on the smaller side. Before we adopted him almost 2 years ago, he was used in medical research. I tried a tincture which includes dandelion root, greater celendine, milk thistle, and barberry. He felt pretty warm, lethargic, and was drooling more than usual so I stopped using it. Is milk thistle effective when enzymes are low and the liver is possibly shrinking? I don't want to stop using these ingredients if they will be beneficial in the long term and I'm thinking of just greatly reducing the dosage...
I'd run milk thistle alone: Milk thistle extract: amzn.to/3mjJlJM (2 drops per 10lb 1-4 times daily)
Does take time, so run 3 months on, 1 month off continuosly.
Also important to feed a more fresh food diet with lots of antioxidants: amzn.to/3cOgzLu

Is it safe to give Milk thistle with Chf meds , as I read its crucial ti look after the liver on these Meds
Milk thistle may interfere with the following medications, because both milk thistle and these medications are broken down by the same liver enzymes:
Allergy drugs. ...
Drugs for high cholesterol. ...
Anti-anxiety drugs. ...
Antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs (blood thinners). ...
Some cancer drugs. ...
Drugs broken down by the liver.
However milk thistle is great for regenerating liver cells. Milk thistle is best given for 3-6 weeks followed by a 1-3 week break.
For tincture, give a starting dose of 1/4 tsp per 20 lbs of body weight per day, split into 2 to 4 equal doses. If you use powder, give 2-5 mg per 1 lb of body weight, 2 to 3 times per day.

After some activated charcoal, and being put on Denamarin for the next 30 days (we have about 14 days left) she is still not showing signs she’s getting better. But this morning she woke up vomiting up yellow bile once again… 😭 She hasn’t thrown up since the day I took her in to the Vet. Please help 😭🙏🏼 Should I not give her the Denamarin & see how she acts?? Maybe try milk thistle ? 💔🤞🏼
Jumping into the middle of something without a case history is almost quesssing at this point, just to make that clear.
Could be (at the beginning) a reaction to vaccination/other drugs/toxins? Hence the denamarin.
Continue the denmarin. The bile is hunger thoughts producing bile and this needs to brought up or it hurts the stomach.

Milk thistle is great for the liver but takes time. For now, only fresh food, no dry food, so raw eggs, some meat, cooked and mashed veggies, sardines (Canned in water), plain lassi and only very small amounts of carbs like rice. Try with some coconut water for drinking to keep rehydrated.
My little chi had moderately elevated liver enzymes and the vet wants to put him on a liver cleanse medication.. they're reluctant to recommend natural alternatives. I'm assuming milk thistle can take the place of it safely?

You must focus on feeding what helps the liver and kidneys to operate better. Here's some information to help you:
Protecting The Kidneys & Liver:
It’s crucial to protect and support healthy kidneys and liver to avoid kidney/liver disease in dogs.
Feed a fresh, whole food diet. A balanced raw diet will give your dog the protein, vitamins and nutrients he needs to function well. Adding the following to your dog’s regular diet will also help support his system and protect kidney function:
Eggs - easily digested complete food
Small fish like mackerel, anchovies and sardines (canned is good and convenient)
Sprouts
Small seeds - flax or sesame are great (crushed)
Herbs - dandelion and parsley (can gets as tincture if not fresh)
Add some fresh chopped herbs to your dog’s food - a pinch per 10 lbs up to 1 Tbsp for a dog 100 lbs or larger. If you buy dried herbs, capsules or a tincture, assume the dose on the label is for a 150 lb human and adjust the dose for your dog’s weight. Here's a multi herb freeze dried product with LOTS of antioxidants crucial to health, also including probiotics, beta glucans (protect/boost immune system) and much more:
Green Vibrance: amzn.to/3cOgzLu
1/4 scoop, sml dogs, 1/3 scoop med dogs, 1/2 scoop big dogs.
Avoid or minimize vaccines - since they’re a major cause of inflammation and the toxic adjuvants and additives can compromise your dog’s system. Since the kidneys flush toxins from the body, vaccines force the kidneys to work overtime anytime there’s a new toxin unreduced. Your dog’s kidneys don’t like those toxins and will work hard to flush them out.
Avoid drugs and toxins - Antibiotics are really hard on the kidneys and drugs that suppress symptoms are not actually doing anythin to heal the real issue. Use silver for antibiotic use: amzn.to/2UXexmC
Give a good quality probiotics to improve digestion overall and help the kidneys/liver process better: amzn.to/3xqa2i0 (don't need if getting the greens above).
If your dog has kidney/liver issues, using fresh food as therapy and avoiding the drugs/vaccines the kidneys/liver will suffer through is the way to go for your dogs health long term.
The Best Foods for Kidney/liver Health
Dark leafy greens. Dark leafy green vegetables such as kale, spinach, chard, and collard greens are loaded with vitamins A and C, calcium, and many other important minerals.
Berries.
Cranberries.
Sweet potatoes.
Olive oil.
Fatty fish.
Sardines.
Cabbage.
For any pain, get CBD oil which has pain killing abilities and great for the immune system, plus reduces anxiety:

Just get the size for your dogs size. Build up to normal dose size over a few days.
@@DanScott1 Thank you very much! I really truly appreciate it!

Milk thistle is like Denamarin?
Denamarin is a combination of S adenosylmethionine (SAMe) and silybin. They do something similar.
@@DanScott1 thank you Dan
@@pichijg28 Your welcome.
Hello, thank you for the info. I hope you can reply to me.
I have a 13 yo Bichon who was just fine a few days ago (about a week). Everyone would say how young he looked and acted. He was vibrant and healthy. Then I noticed he had barely touched his food and water. He was eating crappy dry food. All in a matter of 3-4 days I could feel his bones and his skin was sagging because he lost so much weight.
I took him to the hospital yesterday and the vet wanted to euthanize him because she said he had turned yellow and it was Jaundice and advanced meaning liver failure. She had no hope for him and was euthanasia hasty. They didn't give him a blood tests either. He still has life in him and wants to live. I have to help him. I'm going to try to take him tomorrow to get a blood test.
I ordered the milk thistle you recommended. In the meantime, I bought a powdered pill to break up for him. I also broke up B complex for him and purchased fresh pet food. It's actually FreshPet chicken, turkey, cranberry, and spinach.
The issue is that he refuses to eat and will only eat a very small amount or I'm force feeding him which is chokes on. I want to heal him not hurt him. I've tried enticing him with peanut butter, tuna fish in water which he normally goes crazy for, and chicken and rice and nothing has worked.
My question to you is, what to do when they're not eating? Can I administer the milk thistle even without food?
And as far as how I think we got here...my daughter left a grape on the floor that he ate and vomited back up shortly after. Or because I gave him a piece of beef fat. Or the kibble. I dont know.
Last thing, his urine was coming out orange. I was able to get a little bit of the powdered milk thistle in with the little bit of food he ate and he urine seems to turned back yellow and then dark brown and thick.
Any advice, please! I've been crying all day and want to turn my tears and grief into proper action.
Thank you sincerely
Get some coconut water from the supermarket and keep him well hudrated with that.
Only give fresh food, no kibble or dry foods. Give raw eggs, canned sardines packed in water only, half cooked and blended vegegetables and a little meat protein like chicken.
Get some bone broth: amzn.to/3zgsN8M
and give a little to eat 3-4 times daily and or add to meals.
Feeding certain fresh fruits and vegetables will help cleanse and support your dog’s liver. Foods with great antioxidant support include:
Sprouts (clover, alfalfa or radish)
Spinach
Broccoli (especially sulphoraphane-rich broccoli sprouts)
Celery
Asparagus
Lemons and apple cider vinegar
Fermented vegetables
Note: Greens should be pureed or lightly steamed so that they’re easily digestible for your dog.
Please get the following:
Hemp Seed oil: amzn.to/3vDdtjX
Helps the liver. 1/2tsp a day.
Live Enzymes: amzn.to/2ksvlx1
Again much needed.
Antioxidant blend: amzn.to/3FvLiJM
Antioxidants much needed by the liver.
Also, please understand that the liver while it does it's best. at this stage it's very 11th hour and your dog simply may not make it. The above will help a lot nutritionally. And for ease, soothing and some pain management please give some CBD oil: healthydogforlife.com/CBD
Choose the size for your dogs size and give 2-3 times daily in food or by mouth, it helps at this stage and is good for end of life management.
Sorry about this, it happens, keep your head up, do your best but be prepared to let go soon.
@@DanScott1 Thank you so much for the all the help and reply. I'm on it.

Update?
Hie Sir wanted an urgent reply from you regarding my 3 months old female pup suffering from jaundice.. she's a rescued baby.. her liver condition is bad so need an insight that which suppliment shall I start for her fast recovery? Milk thistle or denamarin.. I'm from India
Either one is good, they both have silibin. Also more imprtant is fresh food and less dry food, so think meat proteins, raw eggs, canned sardines in water and lots of part cooked and blended veg.
@@DanScott1 can you suggest a denamarin brand which can be delivered to India
@@mydreamprocess Sorry, no. Maybe on india amazon?
I'm guessing that it would have no impact on an enlarged liver? My dog, staffy 14, has been diagnosed with enlarged liver, the vet says its only gonna get worse! Do you have any advice or is it just case of monitoring her? TIA
Loads you can do. Use the milk thistle: Milk thistle extract: amzn.to/3mjJlJM (2 drops per 10lb 1-4 times daily)
And.. it's all about healthy diet and zero synthetics like vet drugs, food additives and no vaxx!
So feed your staffy (i've had two), a fresh food diet of meats, some liver, raw eggs, canned sardines, part cooked and blended veggies, very little carbs and add this probiotic: SBO Probiotics - amzn.to/3yoURqU
NAC and SAMe improve liver detoxification, reduce inflammation and are antioxidants.
The dose for NAC or SAMe for dogs is:
Medium dogs: 50mg/day
Lots of fruit and vegetables are good too as is meat proteins like raw eggs, meats and sardines.
And tons of antioxidants.
Are you UK?
Zero vaxx, vet drugs and kibbles. Only raw fresh food diet introduced slowly.
@@DanScott1 thank you so much, I'll get onto that straight away ❤️👌👍
@@DanScott1 yes I'm in the UK 👍 she is on Butternut Box food took her off her old wet food, she was a rescue and refused to eat dry food (kibble)
@@stevenmcmahon Your welcome Steven.
@@stevenmcmahon Looks good, just add raw eggs and canned sardines if needing extra nutrition.
I got my dog tested for liver...not a damage but the range was between 8.9 to 48.5. And she got 54.1 it was on a higher side.Should i consider milk thistle or some other liver suppl? Also plz tell the dose and for how long i need to give. Thanks in advance!
Yes, use milk thistle.: amzn.to/3mjJlJM (2 drops per 10lb 1-4 times daily) 3 months on, 1 month off ongoing. It's slow work but effective over time.
Look at improving the diet too with more fresh foods.
@@DanScott1 Thanks. I also read on google that it can have some side affects, some allergic reaction which can be life threatning?

Hi Dan , just found your channel whilst googling milk thistle for dogs . My dog is recovering from a bad vestibular episode . She’s 15.5 yrs old . I had full bloods done and she has raised liver levels . So I can’t give her NSAIDS for her arthritic pain , she’s very wobbly at the back with a lot of muscle waste . Which milk thistle brand would you recommend , they all differ so much …in price , blooming pets milk thistle tincture has good reviews and is a good price …as does Dorwest ( quite expensive ) …do you get what you pay for ? Also any recommendations for a good pain and joint supplement would be much appreciated . Was looking at riaflex , but at her age I think pain management is important . I’m in the U.K. . Many thanks 😃
Milk thistle: amzn.to/3zANX4O
My go to CBD shop: cbdbrothers.com/product/cbd-brothers-white-edition/
Great for pain management in old dogs and a quality option, I use them (no affiliation).
Watch my latest video on senior dogs! (important): ua-cam.com/video/66OUTToD8MQ/v-deo.html
Get some fresh food into the diet: think eggs, canned sardines and part cooked and blended veggies. The CBD will loosen her up, the better fresh food nutrition will help build musculature. Please don't go the Pharma drug root, never ends well.
@@DanScott1 sorry to be a pain , but what dose do I give for the milk thistle ?
@@sarahjackson8212 What weight is she?
@@DanScott1 she’s 21 kg … re the CBD . I was looking on various arthritis groups that I joined and they said the CBD can raise the liver levels … slightly nervous as Tara’s already above the norm .
@@sarahjackson8212 First you must fix the leaky gut and poor diet and STOP any vaccinations, drugs and other toxins.
If not feeding raw, Omega 3's are important: amzn.to/3vDdtjX and definitely give GLM Green Lipped Mussels: Green Lipped Mussels (powder): amzn.to/3sZnTfN (for arthritis instead of CBD) and add TONS of antioxidants: Green Immune + Super food - (GLM, phytoplankton, Microalgae and Spinach) - healthydogforlife.com/GreenImmuneSuperfood.
Your dogs all rusted up and needs lubricating via diet, herbs (like Ashwagandha:amzn.to/3HqTgp5 ), fats and antioxidants (lots).
Does a dog go through bad effects before getting better? Like restless at night?
Yes this can happen. Problem sleeping? Use a drop or two of Lavender in water, shake well and add a few small splashes to the dogs bed.
How much Milk thistle for a 9lb mini dachshund?
Give the tincture starting dose of 1/4 tsp. per 20lbs of your dogs lean body weight per day divided by two daily doses. So for your mini it's 1/8th tsp.

Hey Dan my boy Oscar is currently battling severe pancreatitis, very inflamed pancreas and an inflamed gall bladder. His big issue right now is he is regurgitating with solid foods, but with liquids in the vet he was fine.
We are taking him home today. I’ve sorted a supplement plan with dandelion root, milk thistle, slippery elm, and CBD.
In terms of food I’ll be using beef broth, white rice, chicken, lean beef, and just low fat meats all together.
Do you have any suggestions I could further optimize this plan to help him out.
In terms of meds he’s on:
Dexamethasone
Cerenia
Antibiotics
Pain meds
Another one of his issues was regurgitation from eating solid foods. So I’m really concerned On his stomach and how it’s reacting.
Here's some Ideas:
What To Feed A Dog With Pancreatitis
There’s a two part answer to this question …
1. What To Feed Dogs Recovering From Pancreatitis
A bland diet may be useful while your dog is recovering from a pancreatitis episode … whether acute or chronic.
Bone broth can be a good choice as he starts to feel better.
If he’s ready for solid food, give a bland diet like cooked chicken breast and white rice. If you’re only feeding it for a few weeks, you don’t need to add supplements.
In the long run, you’ll want to go with a consistent, low-fat diet.
2. Long-Term Diet For Pancreatitis In Dogs
A balanced homemade whole food diet is always the top choice, with appropriate supplementation. A raw diet is fine … but introduce (or re-introduce) it gradually. Wait until your dog’s inflammation subsides and healing is well underway.
Supplements For Pancreatitis In Dogs
The right supplements are good additions to any diet, but especially helpful for dogs with pancreatitis.
• Pre- and probiotics amzn.to/3g0mPkE
• Digestive enzymes amzn.to/2ksvlx1
• Omega-3 fatty acids amzn.to/3vDdtjX
• Antioxidants shrsl.com/3uv18
What Causes Pancreatitis In Dogs?
Acute pancreatitis is often associated with a high-fat diet or especially fatty meal. Dietary indiscretion (aka garbage gut) is also a common cause. Many dogs turn up with pancreatitis around the holidays. Beware of guests feeding fatty foods and table scraps (like turkey skin). Along with the stresses of the season, this sets the stage for big problems.
How To Prevent Pancreatitis In Dogs
Many variables can be involved in pancreatitis … so it’s impossible to make any guarantees about prevention. But these factors are definitely within your control:
1. Feed a healthy diet.
2. Give appropriate supplements as suggested above.
3. Make sure your dog gets regular exercise and adequate rest.
4. Maintain a healthy weight. This means on the lean side for most dogs.
5. Don’t over-vaccinate. Vaccines are a major factor in autoimmune and inflammatory conditions.
6. Pay attention to things that may signal a problem, such as changes in …
o Appetite
o Stool quality
o Behavior
o Energy level
7. If you have any doubts, ask your holistic veterinarian.
Give the slippery elm on an empty stomach, maybe add to some plain yoghurt.
Wean off the drugs as soon as is possible. Ons once he's ok again, keep carbs low and focus on low fat proteins including eggs and sardines.
@@DanScott1 thank you Dan, greatly appreciated.
@@DanScott1 hey Dan, my dog is doing a lot better. He’s off the meds and has been eating good homemade meals, with a bit of kibble. We’ve optimized the kibble by adding some chicken, egg whites and lean ground beef.
I was curious on your thoughts of adding a bit of goat milk to help optimize his kibble meal, during his recovery.
@@musicboy044 Your welcome.
@@musicboy044 Yes, good idea. Just serve raw eggs, whites and yoke. That way he gets 30% better nutrition from the food.
Is Milk Thistle a blood thinner? My boy has Hemangiosarcoma. I’m afraid to give him anything that could cause bleeding.
Sorry about that. Is it skin based or internal HSA and how far along, what stage?
Milk Thislte should not interfear but I don't know if drugs are involved?
I don't know what the docs told you but this ones tricky.
Here's some help:
Cancer Options:
Feed a quality all raw food diet - important (must be zero carbs in diet).
Give medicinal mushrooms rich in anti cancer beta glucans: amzn.to/3CLiI6y
Yunnan Baiyo is a popular herbal formula in Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine.It balances Qi blood statis or stagnation. And it’s also a very popular remedy to stop bleeding. Yunnan Baiyao helps improve platelets and clotting. So it can stop bleeding from external wounds as well as internal hemorrhaging.
THC oil treatment alternative.
@@DanScott1 Thank you for The speedy reply. In January they gave my little boy one to three months. We’re on month four heading to month five. It was first discovered on his tongue and there are spots on his lungs so it has metastasized. He’s taking Turkey Tail Mushrooms and CBD. We’re concentrating on quality of life right now. He’s been exceptionally awesome until 2 days ago. He had an episode that was either a seizure, slow bleed, or possible heart arrhythmia. That said, with a sonogram they thought there was a small amount of fluid around his liver. Not sure if it was blood or not.
The vet gave us the Yunnan Baiyao and we started that 2 days ago. I’m not certain what to do with that as he’s 30lbs. They said 2 pills twice per day and we will run out of it in 2 days. Some articles said to give it 5 days on, 5 days off others do not mention to give it ongoing or not.
The vet also prescribed Keppro for seizures but I think it’s really zonking him out. Low energy and a little wobbly when he walks. I don’t know for sure if it’s the medication or if the episode/seizure took a toll.
I know this is complicated but I’m wondering
if adding Milk Thistle would be advantageous or add more complications as Hemangiosarcoma is a blood vessel cancer as he has it internally.
Thank you again for the long detailed reply.
I’m h yeah, he’s eating basically keto with next to zero carbs. He’s actually acting a little better today.
@@GuitarWithDofka Can you get hold of THC oil where you live?
Milk thistle has shwon to have anti cancer properties also.
@@DanScott1 thanks for such a speedy reply. Unfortunately THC is not legal here. I think one state over you can get it with a medical card. So that’s not an option for us.

My dog has been diagnosed with kidney and liver failure, he won't eat, and he is drinking water only. The liver is quite swollen up, massively lost weight in 8 days and he's salivating once in a while. Help me save him, even if there is a 1% chance I wanna take it. Can you guide me?
This is a tough one. Give plain coconut water to drink small amounts often. Add this to the water in half standard dose amounts: amzn.to/3yoURqU
Also and more importantly to give right now is remannia 8: amzn.to/3K4v51h
Rehmannia 8 increases renal blood flow and even when 60 to 70 per cent of the kidney is no longer functioning, a significant number of nephrons may still be able to function with adequate blood flow.
Give only raw foods (no dry food). If he'll eat, give only raw green tripe, look online or at local specialist pet food shops.
If still not eating at all over the next few weeks, be prepared to say goodbye and visit the vet.
Thanks, one last question I stay in a cold climate area will it be ok to give coconut water? His breathing is raggedy, won't it affect his lungs?

Hello po Mr. Dan, my dog (pomeranian) she's only 8 months and 4.2 kilos. My dog starts vomiting, diarrhea and lose her appetite on december 16, then we immediately go to the vet, they test her blood and the result is Bacterial Infection, and then the doctor asking me if my dog is accidentally eating or licking something that can cause her vomiting, and i tell her that my dog is accidentally licked the rust from her old cage, after few days the vet contact me that my dog has a liver problems. Then the vet doctor gives the meds for my dog, Liverolin, Hemacare, Lymedox, and Belmetic, those are she's been using from dec 16 until now. Is it possible that rust from metal is the reaso why my dog experiencing all of this now? And milk thistle good gor her?
She also have fever, i dont know what to do 😢 i dont want to lose her, 😢😢
Please respond 😢😢
@@jadep.bangeles2096 So the Lymedox should be finished soon as it's the antibiotic and this should have worked by 14 days (29th Dec).
Stop the belmetic now. If it's not stopped 'being sick' by now it's not working, so stop.
The Liverolin has milk thistle in it, so it's ok but you could go with an all milk thistle supplement instead: shrsl.com/3uv2e
The Hemacare is for iron deficiency and possible anemia.
Get rid of that cage!
And feed more fresh foods in diet like eggs, canned sardines, part cooked and blended veggies and a little actual meat ie chicken.
If there's eating issues, start with bone broth: amzn.to/38AZ3uX
Then move onto small meals of the above with a little of what you feed now, make the meal 50:50 old to new foods.
And start weaning off those drugs. Zero vaccines too.

Gut health is poor. Diet is the key here and much of the cause of the health issues. That food is not good enough to eat. There maybe additional issues from vaccines (not recommended), and any other vet drugs.
If you can find slippery elm bark powder, give on an empty stomach to stop the blood and bring relief.
The diet must be fresh food based to help the dogs digestive system get stronger, so transition the dog very slowly over to fresh food as 75% of the diet.
So that's raw eggs, plenty, any animal meats ie chicken (all parts), canned sardines or other fish meats, part cooked and blended veggies and just 25% that pet food. The dog will improve over 12 weeks.
Also add a probiotic if you can find a good one or add one large galic clove, finely chopped with a piece of banana to the meal to act as probiotic and prebiotic.
Thank you so much

Highly Appreciated 💗
Feed your dog real food not pellets and cans. Fresh meat, fish, eggs, vegs, yoghurt, fish oil, sardines, etc. Watch them bloom.
I can take an abused and damaged dog and male them a champion in 6 months of proper feeding. Convenience food is bad.
Dan, thank you for this post! 50 mg per 25 lbs dry thistle powder means 2 mg per lb of dog's weight. Got it!
Give this for 4 months. Will do.
I have a long standing dog problem I want to solve. Itchy skin. Hair falling out, Malassezia yeast setting in, scaly, greasy, smelly skin. This happens to big GSDs and small Poodles and so many more. What is this cycle? Gut probiotics missing? Liver or Pancreas or Adrenal issue? I want to solve this riddle before I die. There are too many dogs suffering from this. The skin becomes super itchy and so do the ears.
Now I know that liver malfunction and blocked bile ducts can cause itchy skin in humans. Wonder if that is the same issue?
I'm going to try the Silymarin and maybe that will fix the skin problem. Nothing to lose here. Your information about dosage was extremely helpful, thank you!
It's a tricky subject. Shots, drugs, dewormers etc all VERY bad for dogs with heavy metals, poisons etc causing skin issues to the bodies largest organ.
Give zero carbs, sugars, fruits (except berries), use only a soil based probiotic: amzn.to/3yoURqU
Use Colostrum (for allergies, sensitivity, intolerance & off Apoquel): amzn.to/3H79rad
Also, just told another this. Try some oregano oil mixed with coconut oil for a rubdown. Oregano oil: amzn.to/3ulnF1T
1 part oregano oil to 5 parts coconut, mix well and rub on affected areas for relief. Careful, it's very acrid neat.
Plus for yourself, 4 drops in spoon of household oil and down the throat for first sign of cold, flu etc. Works great as antibiotic.
Oh, and 12-15% fat in diet. Under 10% and skin issues arize.
Please can you answer me back
If the dog is still ok after 24 hrs, should be fine. Give the Milk Thistle for 1 month minimum. Milk thistle extract: amzn.to/3mjJlJM
Give lots to drink and add some cooked veg to meals. If not drinking much get some coconut water from the supermarket and use that.
