Question

Checkers I have a 1 year old peek-a-poo with a small liver. Liver Shunt ruled out by Tobias at UT Knox. Bile vomiting in AM - poop formed softly firm. Able to pick up. I am home cooking potatoes, chicken or white fish, veggies - what supplements would you recommend

Answer
Kate -

Every doctor practices in a different manner. I am reluctant to recommend supplements that you can give because I do not want to interfere with the doctor client relationship you have with your veterinarian.

Your letter was not very clear - were you saying that the dog is vomiting every morning or just the morning the letter was written? what are you able to pick up?

Nevertheless, I feel it is best for you ask your veterinarian which supplements he/she recommends. Supplements can interfere with the medicine that is prescribed for your dog; for that reason it is extremely important that you consult your veterinarian before giving liver supplements.

Best Regards,

Charlotte Sheerrell, DVM
