Vitacost has a good selection of herbs in liquid. George my little Boston Terrier just had a stroke. He's had seizures for years and he was bad enough that I had to let the vet to give him a steroid injection and he'll be on Prednisone for 10 days. Of course I'll treat him naturally after that but considering his existing condition I'm not willing to take the risk of not having him under his vets care right now. I've had him and his daughter Tina on milk thistle since natural methods weren't enough to control their severe seizure conditions. I had to put them on Phenobarbital and I had liquid milk thistle ordered before the vet called the prescription in. Poor Tina has been on Keppra also since being in the hospital 4 days last year following nearly 28 hours of seizure activity. Now George will have to be to after the seizure that caused the stroke. But I'm very happy to know that the milk thistle is so effective. His blood work showed that his liver is functioning perfectly and the Phenobarbital has not caused any damage. Tina's blood work always comes back with the same results. I hate having to give them pharmaceutical meds but I'm glad that I can at least protect their livers.
