You're Welcome.

You need a prescription for the food. There may be places online that you can get it with the script or your vet should be able to order it for you.

You can get Denosyl at EntirelyPets Discount Pet meds Pet Supplies & Flea Medicine. Vetri DMG, the precursor to Denosyl, is available online but I've never used it, so I'm not sure what site has a good deal on it. You can choose one or the other. Most vets only know about Denosyl. It is more expensive though. Denosyl cannot be crushed and has to be given at least one hour before eating.

If you have a GNC, milk thistle is available there and it is completely vegetarian. Do you know how to dose this? You should also give vitamin e. Ellie was on 400IU for awhile but that is quite high. That is probably the dose I'd go with though. There are also veterinary products with milk thistle and vitamin e combined if you want to go that way...

You need a prescription for lactulose. I've heard that Walmart's generic for this is cheap.

Did that answer your question?
