I know you didn't ask for suggestions as to the elevated liver enzymes, but may I offer some "food for thought?"


It sounds like you do lots of research, online and so forth, so I may be mentioning things you already know. However, since you are a new dog owner, there is a LOT to learn, and maybe this hasn't crossed your path yet.

What do you use for food, and what do you use for her treats? You may / may not be aware, there is a huge issue with dog treats made in China -- chicken jerky is the big one, but at this point, most pet owners are not using anything 'made in China' or product of China, packaged in USA. One of my bichons, Sugar, had elevated liver enzymes, and after carefully reading EVERYTHING in the house again, I discovered that one package of treats I was using was a product of China, packaged in USA. Since the front label stated: AN AMERICAN COMPANY, I had not read the fine print on the back.

One thing which will protect the liver and reduce the enzymes, very quickly: samE and milk thistle. I prefer to use CellFood brand for the samE. And I buy my milk thistle here: http://www.leavesandroots.com/herbmno.html
