Imagine our surprise when our less than 1 year old Westie was diagnosed with Liver Disease. For those of you who are also battling this problem you know that you feel almost powerless. For those of you who are new to this medical issue, you will soon feel frustrated and then proceed to powerless. The story, the advice, the recipes in this book handed back some of our power with this disease.

It's a one day at a time type of situation, and by utilizing the advice in this book, our dog has became a lot better, gained 6 lbs to normal weight and is functioning like a normal dog. She has went from 3 meds to 1 (Demamarin - which she will probably continue for life with it's Milk Thistle liver regenerating properties). If your baby has been diagnosed - start here.

My 10 year old Shetland Sheepdog, Trevor, was diagnosed with liver disease 2 years ago. Over that time the vet has been unable to determine its cause. Getting progressively sick & unhappy, Trevor was quickly approaching the end of his rope. The vet had no suggestions except Sam-e & milk thistle supplements...which were not working on their own. His liver values kept increasing, fast.

Searching for help I stumbled on this book. I read it cover to cover several times & eventually made notes & highlights for my own use. Trevor has many food allergies so I was surprised that many of the food suggestions he could have. Within a week, I had completely weaned him off of his (high grade) commercial kibble.

Over a two month period my family noticed a big difference in his attitude and play drive. He seemed happier and more energetic. Encouraged, my vet referred me to one of the top animal nutritionists for confirmation. After analyzing Trevor's home-made diet, she only tweaked the vitamins & supplements a bit. We were on a healthy course.

With fingers crossed we re-ran his liver values for the first time after 2 months of the home-made diet. His Alkaline Phosphatase went from 724 to 344! That is still outside of the normal range of 0-140, but for a dog that had this value doubling every month, this was amazing news! Another key value, ALT dropped from 184 to 102. Normal is 10-120.

We will re-test him again in two months. Again, fingers crossed that the positive trend continues. Regardless, this book has offered Trevor a happier quality of life. This book offers sound nutrition approaches & offers what it says...hope. Thank you!
