I supplement my dogs with milk thistle just to assist their livers detox their bodies from all they are exposed to on a daily basis....heartworm meds, flea and tick meds, anything else they may be getting that today is perfectly fine for them, but in 3 years, they discover is killing our babies.....They have given milk thistel in Germany to humans in liver failure for years, with great success....I dont know how old Cookie is...if she is full grown, then I would think they can manage her disease with diet and medication....if she were a puppy with an underdeveloped liver that ALREADY was not able to manage her system requirements, I would not be hopeful...but if she is full grown, and her liver has managed to keep her system detoxed until now, it seems to me diet and meds would be able to effectively assist her and relieve her symptoms.
