<![CDATA[ScamperingPaws.com]]> Commentics Linh I want to say thank you for this article and for all those that are experiencing this unfortunate circumstance with liver damage.

Reading through the article and the comments gave us alot of hope to help our baby get better.

He was fine about 2 weeks ago, until first sign of severe diarrhea and decrease in appetite.

Kaigo is a 5 year old husky mix and his vet told us he has "severe liver damage" and his numbers aren't getting better. He has no appetite to eat anything and and he is food motivated usually, so this breaks us that he's not eating.

He's been getting daily IV fluid from the clinic for daily hydration and filtration, but it's cutting into our financial budget. We want to try everything to help him, and it needs to start with him wanting to nourish his body.

My 8 year old dog recently stopped eating... Which was totally not him at all. Losing tons of weight. Even stopped drinking water.

I want to share what has been helping to get his appetite back.

Dandelion extract !!! I cannot believe how well he is responding. Within the first day he went from explosive wet poo to finally having solid poops.

I also have been administering Milk thistle powder mixed in with low fat low sodium cottage cheese.

I have had to force him to drink water from a syringe, although hes not %100 he is slowly getting his appetite back .

Please people look into dandelion extract and milk thistle !!! Makd sure these come from safe sources ... These help clean the liver last thing you want is to add toxins back into your dogs diet

My girl was healthy as can be I thought and all the sudden she gets diagnosed with liver failure in the blink of an eye. Every dog is different I am just hoping she pulls through this. Did anyone who has a dog that went through this notice an onset of vomiting and did it ever stop? I have her being hospitalized to get her fluids regularly and force feed to get calories in her body but she just started the vomiting this week. I don't know how to tell if it us her time to go or if she is going to pull through.

]]> Fri, 20 Mar 2020 12:33:55 -0700 item_191 Samantha How did you manage to stay in control when this happened to your dog? Our dog was diagnosed with high bilirubin and high white blood cell count. His liver is enlarged. He got better but suddenly took a turn for the worse. Our vet is on vacation until saturday. But he has not eaten a meal since Monday. Everything he does eat now, nibbles of chicken mostly, he throws back up. And today his intake of water has decreased tremendously. I am now having to force him to take his meds and most of them is just throwing up anyway. I am falling apart and not sure how I can make it until Saturday.

We are going through the same currently.

]]> Fri, 22 Nov 2019 18:59:42 -0800 item_173 Rowena THANKYOU excellent suggestions -going to try the baking canned food option! 13 year old Milli is being treated for liver inflammation but just won’t eat!

]]> Sat, 08 Jun 2019 07:51:07 -0700 item_131 Kriston This sounds like my Moose. Although he is early in the process. Still not eating much but good/decent energy and on liver supplements. Crossing my fingers if nothing else he stays comfortable.

]]> Sat, 29 Dec 2018 00:40:47 -0800 item_102 Nathalie Prise My 12.5 year old mixed breed female dog, 40 pounds, was apparently fine until this Friday when she refused to eat anything. (She had refused breakfast on Thursday, but ate some dinner on Thursday evening.) She spent Saturday until late Monday at an emergency clinic. No nausea, no vomiting, no diarrhea. The one abnormality they found was an elevated ALT of over 10,000! They sent her home Monday evening with a several medications/supplements: Entyce, Denamarin, Vitamin K, Sucralfate, but she is a very difficult girl when you try to get something in her she does not want. She will bite me, so nothing is really going to work in that regard. She pooped once normally after she got home and has been drinking water and peeing regularly. She refuses anything edible and is getting weaker. The only thing the clinic suggests is an ultrasound. What should I do? Unless there is a way to get her to eat, I can't medicate her no matter the diagnosis. She needs nourishment.

]]> Sun, 26 Aug 2018 17:48:46 -0700 item_62 Jacqueline Purland Alexander I want to thank you for writing this article. My sweet senior boy Kashi has an enlarged liver and it's pushing his stomach and all his organs . He's not interested in eating but I keep trying everything I can think of.

Reading your article made me feel so much better as I'm going thru everything you wrote. I ordered the Marin treats last night and am praying he'll at least try them. Im not sure how long my boy will be with me but im trying to make him comfortable. You are an angel. Thank you again and God Bless.

]]> Wed, 06 Jun 2018 06:40:13 -0700 item_37 Cheryl How is your dog? I just lost my Schnauzer that was diagnosed with Cushings 2 years ago. Her liver got bad recently. I used this site for help on her not eating.

]]> Thu, 31 May 2018 06:58:31 -0700 item_32 Susan This article actually gave me some hope. My dog has been at the University Hospital since last week and they basically say here liver is too damaged and that she won’t recover. I don’t really believe that because she still wants to go for a walk‘s is thrilled to see me etc. she has no appetite though and I am taking her home tomorrow. I already bought the stuff to rub on her gums. My dog is a therapy dog and does so much good in this world I am not giving up on her. Thank you so much.

Also, I still have no idea and neither does the vet what caused her liver damage. Three weeks ago she was running around catching boomerangs.

]]> Tue, 17 Apr 2018 19:45:34 -0700 item_18 J. Your vet may be able to suggest something, but in order to get some nutrients into our dog, we used NutriCal (there's a link in the article). Just rub it onto his gums.

]]> Sun, 25 Mar 2018 11:43:04 -0700 item_13 Rose Thank you so much for the post! my dog was just diagnosed with liver problem. His ALT is high and ALP is 600 times higher and he hasn't been eating for the last week or so and lost 2 pounds. I am worried about how much longer he can last if he continues not eating any nutrients. Should I buy any supplement to boost his immune system and force on him using syringe?

]]> Sun, 25 Mar 2018 11:33:14 -0700 item_12 Kirsten Thank you so much for all this information! The baked canned food is a life safer!

]]> Thu, 01 Mar 2018 22:38:35 -0800 item_6 Dave My dog Jess was diagnosed with liver disease in May 2016 at 10 yrs old, Alt & Alp both went up to around 1700, she had jaundice and wasn`t eating, I cooked porridge and put it in Actimel pots

which she let me poor down her throat 3 times a day and quite happy for me to do it, that kept her alive until drugs worked and she started to eat again, the vet put Jess on Hills L/D plus Prednisolone and Denamarin.

It took close on 6 months for blood levels to get back to normal.

It is now 22 months since Jess became ill and she is looking good, although she has had a couple of seizures [I used Nutra Calm for them]

I Have put Jess onto a home cooked diet , now 2 weeks into this and looks even better, due for a blood test in 3 weeks so will see how it worked out.

As the writer of this post has said, none of the treatment is cheap, but no more expensive the a few holidays abroad.

Nearly forgot! a cake icing syringe is good for feeding!

]]> Wed, 21 Feb 2018 05:23:46 -0800 item_2 J. Thank you for these suggestions. My dog was diagnosed with a bad liver recently and has not been eating well. I want to do everything I can to get her to eat anything at all since she is wasting away. Please keep her in your prayers.
