Me too.

Joyce, it's so good to see pictures of Daisy. How sweet of Pixie to take it easy on her older sister. My thoughts and heart are with you and I pray for Daisy's full recovery.

I would put Daisy on Denamarin (i'm about to start that with my dog too) and research anything else that can be done to help her liver. Then give her all the love in the world and then some.

yeah I agree

sam-e and milk thistle are in denamarin

you have to be careful with sam-e though as it should not be mixed with drugs like tramadol so maybe separate out and probably why vet had her on milk thistle alone instead of denamarin

Tramadol

Just checking in on Daisy...and you too, Joyce. I will check back later, hoping to see good news. Hugs to you!

Daisy is still keeping her food down we talked with the specialist and they said as long as she is keeping her food down (home cooked) Than to keep feeding it at this time. They want to consult a nutritionist after Daisy is onto maintenance. Now is not the time bc all the concern is at this point is that she keeps food down and the denosyl which will help take care of the liver.
We asked was her liver so far gone that there was not much hope for survival and they said absolutely not.

I felt better after talking with the specialist and that I have to believe that they are doing what is best for her.

We need to all pray that her ALT levels drop and that her liver cells repair.
I will keep everyone updated....this has been a rollercoaster of emotions and I am so tired.

I did come across this on the tick list site and read where it says 2007 update :
I found it interesting that the doxycycline seemed to cause reactions in the poodle breed
blackgsd: treatment

is it her ALT or ALP that is still high as thought her alt was back to normal but only ALP high?

I agree the liver can rejuvenate so if anything goes wrong that is the best one to go wrong where as pancreas and kidneys not so good

when the time comes I recommend Holistic Veterinarian Pet Nutritionist Holistic Pet Care as susan davis has done an amazing job with everyone I have seen her help including the woman on here recently under thread about hypoparathyroid/lymphangiectasia/ple. That was quite a fiasco but he is doing better now. You can follow his story and see what happens as she just consulted with susan davis and i can give you names of others as well you can talk to and get their take on her.

I think if it were me though and being liver I would just feed dr dodds liver cleansing diet if you can home cook as i have seen many dogs do well on that for many years on liver shunt mvd groups.

Her ALP is still high
ALT was 1800 now 600
ALP was 1900 now 1600 it had dropped to 1400 but jumped back up to 1600
GGT was 68 and now is 44
Who was the person here on YT that had a dog with liver disease? my brain is so mixed up from all the information that I have had to research and yesterday my son called and I thought it was Friday night

I am forgetting where I put things sometimes I think I am losing my mind.

I am one of the people who has a dog with liver disease here on YT.

BonBon · 06-23-2010, 11:24 AM

I was just thinking about you and Daisy. The specialist sounds wonderful, and I'm so glad Daisy is holding food down. I loved your Why I Love Daisy post, it brought tears to my eyes and made me laugh at the same time.

Sending her more get well hugs.

Bonny

Today Daisy has been tired but she is still keeping her food down. she is also keeping the denosyl down and that is very good.
She did perk up when I was cooking her food for the week

I let her and Pixie lick the bowls. They thought it was the greatest and they didn't even fight.

I took her outside for a short walk and it was only like 10 min and that was enough. She actually pulled for the house.
I did notice that she isn't drinking as much as she had been in the past. I am going to crush up some ice or just go get myself ice water. lol

Dee Dee has mvd so why i have done a ton of research on liver issues

ok thanks as thought it was the ALP

i really would not exercise her right now as she needs to rest so her body can heal

I am so glad she is keeping her food down that is a great sign she is improving

yeah I just would hold off until everything is normal as when exercising the body tears down and rebuilds so right now I would just rest her as much as possible

I really think she is going to be fine
