My dog has liver disease. What zinc supplement dose for copper intake?

You can giver omega 3 fish oil, i recommend using a pet omega product (dosage will be written on the label). vitamin supplement are usually not necessary in dogs with liver failure but supplement such as Milk Thistle is recommended.

I would recommend you discuss this with your veterinarian that manages his care and his condition. Without knowing a full history, we can't say what he can have. I would not give him additional vitamins no, unless ditected by your veterinarian other wise.

Hello there! Thank you for choosing Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Treatment typically consists of using copper chelators (medication that binds the copper and allows the body to eliminate it without adversely affecting the body), low copper diets and supportive to care to address any clinical signs of hepatic disease the patient may or may not be experiencing. This is definitely a condition that needs to be monitored regularly by a veterinarian, especially if the patient is experiencing clinical signs associated with hepatic disease. I hope this information is helpful and that Maisie has a speedy recovery.

If Molly is on a balanced commercial dog food, then she shouldn’t need any supplemental vitamins or minerals. Some skin conditions can be improved by adding zinc, but this needs to be prescribed by the attending veterinarian since higher levels of zinc are toxic to dogs.

My best recommendation to supplement liver function is a supplement called Denamarin. It contains several of the known ingredients we historically used to support liver health all in one supplement. Very often, I observe my patients Liver enzymes decreasing dramatically on this supplement.

Excellent question! It sounds like Bear may have some elevated liver enzymes, and if he is not showing signs of illness, your vet is likely just recommending a supplement that can help support the liver and in some cases bring the enzymes down to normal/ closer to normal . See the link below for more information on liver enzymes: https://www.vin.com/veterinarypartner/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4952533 It may be long term, or if the liver enzymes stabilize, your vet may decide that Bear does not need the supplement anymore. This usually involves rechecking the bloodwork at intervals to see if the enzymes are increasing or decreasing

This supplement is unlikely to influence any liver enzymes and can be stopped anytime if there is any suspicion of that. ALP is elevated but moderately and I would not focus on that. Albumin is low and that is a main concern at the moment. Vomiting should be treated with symptomatic medications. If there is high temperature, antibiotics should be given/continued.
