    Denamarin alternative

    I stumbled across this article after reading your post - Denamarin vs. Milk Thistle: 2023 Comparison and Key Differences (pet.reviews). Maybe it can be of some help to you while you wait on other members' input. Until then, perhaps you'd like to peruse through previous posts about each of these...

    Did you try the Sam E and change to the milk thistle? Did you cat take it without any problems? My baby is getting traumatized over constantly being forced this supplement.

    Also, do you remember which milk thistle you used? Alfie is easier to pill than to use liquid with.

    Ask your vet if milk thistle is an option. It worked for my angel Poppycat.

    TRIADITIS

    Hi, for my angel Poppycat we had to give sub-q fluids at home. Another med was denamarin for liver support and then we switched to milk thistle. I don't recall how long it took before he was back to health, but a big milestone was when he became too strong for us to handle for the fluids...

    ...at the bottom of that page, in a collapsed link: Silymarin Math There is approximately 3% silymarin (based on the dry weight of our Milk Thistle) per serving size (1/4 tsp). A ¼ teaspoon contains 550mg of our pure, organically grown Milk Thistle (550mg = ¼ teaspoon) There is...

    Liver Disease, Cholestasis Cat

    That would be a lifesaver! I'm seeing it says milk thistle/sAMe supplement in the liquid form on chewy. Is that what you're referring to?

    I just saw that Chewy has compounded liquid denamarin, but you may want to research milk thistle as well.

    I used this brand. I didn't know to check the silymarin content, so I don't know how good it is ; Milk Thistle – Herbsmith

    Milk thistle is available without a prescription. I obtained a powdered product with no/few other ingredients. The dosage is on the container. I added it to my angel Poppycat's food. This is what I found in liquid form; MILK THISTLE/SAME COMPOUNDED Oral Liquid Tuna Flavored for Dogs and Cats...

    Alternative to Cerenia and Possible Liver Problems

    I’ve used milk thistle as a liver supplement. The thing you need to look for on the nutritional label is the silymarin content. Some brands have a lower percentage than others. I believe you can also get it as a liquid/tincture, but be sure to get non-alcohol. I have also used SAM-e as...

    Alternative to Cerenia and Possible Liver Problems

    Do you have a favorite milk thistle brand? I am open to trying this and will talk with the vet tomorrow about it, if it turns out to be liver related.

    I will again. I asked him before and he said he wants him to have Sam E but the cat violently rejects it and drools and hides. He had diarrhea today which I think is from the Sam E. He wasn’t his normal self so we aren’t giving it to him again. This was a liquid form which was worse than the...

    Struggling now with anxiety after putting Stanley down

    ...I have been taking a supplement recommended to me by my friend at the health food store to lower cholesterol, but it has red yeast rice, milk thistle, alpha lineolic acid and Co Q10, and I called her and asked if any of those ingredients can detox you, as when I take things that can my mood...

    ...your cat are that Poppy was prescribed sub-q fluids which we administered daily at home, and denamarin, then eventually we switched to milk thistle. I don't remember how his eating was because since he was uber finicky, and so I had to handfeed him in order to get the supplements in him...

    I don't recall all the details, but we used denamarin initially and then we switched to milk thistle. Every cat is different though, so what worked for him isn't necessarily what will work for your cat. We used a pill popper, but it sounds to me as though you need to talk to your vet about the...

    Denamarin can this be hidden in a treat

    Hi It's suggested to not hide the denamarin in treats or food. Would your vet have a technician who could stop by to help pill her? Would your vet consider milk thistle as an alternative ( which is easier to give)?
