Thank you so much for the anesthesia information. I really want to make sure I understand what the risks are for Bruno and what I need to do to keep his liver functioning at its best.

They did not give me the details of the bloodwork they just told me the liver numbers indicated there could be a problem which is what prompted the ultra sound and bile acid test. I believe we are doing the urine test next. The vet suggested doing the blood and urine every 6 months to monitor his liver and check for bladder stones. Is this how you monitor your dog?

The doctor supplied me with denosyl but did not mention lactulose or milk thistle, can I purchase these on my own or should I go through my vet? Are they common supplements used for liver conditions? I am wondering why my vet didn't recommend them.
