Great!!

Just curious...When is she throwing up?

The dosage for samE (denosyl) is about 10 mg per lb of body weight...A 5 lb dog, would need approx. 50 mg.
Denosyl sometimes makes the smaller dogs (under 6-8 lbs or so) nauseous because the smallest dosage is 90 mg and that's more than the smaller yorkies require. It doesn't hurt them, it just causes nausea in some of them.
Denamarin contains 90 mg of s-adenosylmethionine also.

Also, it's important that meals be spread out into small but frequent meals...4 at the minimum b/c having only 2 meals causes nausea in many liver compromised dogs as well...

Having only 2 larger meals per day vs. having 4 smaller meals per day makes them take in more food (and protein specifically) at one time which causes their little livers too work too hard at once...

They get backed up with toxins when this occurs, and they become nauseous.
