Solaray Milk Thistle with Phytosome 80% Silymarin 300 mg. 1x a day, Solaray Tumeric Root Extract 95% Curcumin 300 mg. 1x a day, Nature Made Fish Oil 1200 mg. W/ 360 mg. OMEGA-3, NOW SAMe 200 mg. 1-2 x's a day on an empty stomach. I also give Pet Probiotics and Enzymes by Dr. Mercola Healthy Pets. My Dallas has very high ALP liver enzymes (3, 971) off the charts and they have been going up for the past two years until I put him on Milk Thistle and Tumeric combined w/ the other supplements. In 3 months time I have got his liver enzymes down to 2,300 and still working to get them down. I will have the vet recheck in a few months to see were the ALP enzymes are at. I have also put him on a Raw food diet (Nature's Variety, Instinct raw Bites). No grains at all. He is possibly a Cushing's dog. Oh and his weight is 26-27 lbs. I hope this helps and the best of luck.

My dog with cushing disease went from almost being put to sleep to almost normal again. He had cough every 15 mins, skin rashes, over drinking water, over eating, blood nose, siezures and started to go to the bathroom on the carpet. The first thing is no rice, grain, barley or canned food. Too much toxin effect the cortisol causing the cushing disease. Had to invest some time into what may work. I went to all organic sweet potatoes and fish by Wellness, mixed with pumpkin, baby carrot organic, milk thistle(liver clease) apple cider vingar organic only, cap full to each meal, enzyme for digestion (very important) and probotic (acidollius)( very important), little olive oil (1/2 tsps to a meal) and dog vitamin pill. I found that getting all the ingredients together and mix in a blender, and refrigerate. Making up the foods ahead is how to win the battle of time to make each meal. I make enough for about 5 days, this is make sure it does not get stale. Use canned pumkin with the ingredient just pumkin or sqaush. Carefully not to give too much of this will spike the blood sugar level in the body. I use natural product to it is 1 drop per 2 lb of weight of dog. His eyes were no long blue in the waters. His tumor in the nose stop bleeding, he seen to breath better. I first did the transition for the dry food, to wet dog food, to a mixture, now all organic. This the key toxin in the dog as they get older cannot not keep up. Your dog and yourself do not have to suffer anymore. It is less expensive in the long run and a better for ourselves. Do not give up on your dog until organix.

Thank you, owner myself with dog with cushing disease.
