~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"How does it help? If your puppy has been chemically wormed or vaccinated, it may have a toxic liver. Milk thistle can help heal its liver.
How do I give it? Mix in enemas with fresh lemon juice, and give orally too if your puppy is keeping down fluids orally.
How much do I give? Instructions should be on the container it comes in.

ETA: you can do LS surgery closer to home.. but it may cost $1000.00-$2000.00 more. Something else you want to price before you commit.

Could giving him milk thistle now possibly compromise the BAT results, should he need that test?
