We give our liver compromised yorkie milk thistle and vitamin E and alternate between denosyl and vetri-dmg. Ellie may is absolutely correct about the marin containing yeast and liver which are high in purines (not recommended).
My vet recommended Marin. Lady's taken it for years. Since Lady only gets 1/4 tablet, I don't think the liver in it is significant enough to cause a problem. Just my opinion, though.

If you give plain milk thistle, make sure you also give Vitamin E. It's an antioxidant. It's included in Marin.
