It is costing me $60.00 for a one month box. The vet wants to check Daisy's liver enzymes in 3 - 4 months. Meanwhile she will be on Denamarin and her Hepatic diet daily. Her ALT is within range at 113 but ALP is 840. Normal range is 20 - 150. I thought I remembered reading here that milk thistle (or something like that) is the main ingredient in Denamarin and you can order it. But I don't know how expensive that would be or if the vet would approve. Any ideas?

We now suspect that she has an allergy to chicken. Her ALP had been down to 160 on Denamarin and Hepatic diet only. Then we started adding green beans, then chicken and now her ALP went back up and she is itching. So we are eliminating chicken and green beans.
