<p>Denamarin does a number of things to support the liver but it's main action is to increase the levels of Glutathione in the liver which is a potent anti-oxidant. It also protects liver cells from cell death. It isn't cheap... we got it online saving £10 compared to the cost from the vet, but it was still £45 for a months supply of the size we needed. Another (cheaper) option is Milk Thistle+ Powder from Denes, which also contains silybin. Luna was on this for a couple of years and did very…</p>

<p>Thank you for the suggestions Rebecca. We're giving her 5 small meals a day at present to help her cope. Liver is ok currently but will keep it in mind, and will tell my daughter as her oldie has a problem which requires support for the liver and we've never heard of Denamarin until now.</p>
<p>I'm in the process of collecting info at the moment and will add turmeric to the list of possibles .Thankyou.</p>

<p>So sorry to hear. But they are amazing for their resilience and I hope you have many more happy months with Bridie. I have no idea if this is helpful, but you could try turmeric which has anti-inflamatory and antioxident properties, plus give lots of little meals of light food to reduce the burden on the tummy. Do you know if her liver enzymes are elevated? If so, perhaps liver support like Denamarin. Thinking of you.</p>

<p>I am so very sorry Sue! Have lost five years ago my IS Billy with cancer. Maybe you will ask your Vet if Iscador from Weleda can help your Bridie.</p>

<p>So sorry Sue, I don't have anything to offer except sympathy. I hope Bridie has many many good days before you have to say enough is enough. Having lost an elderly lady recently (not an Irish) with an abdominal tumour, I know what you're going through.</p>
<p>My thoughts are with you.</p>

<p>Very distressing Sue. I am very sorry. I lost one to cancer prematurely about 10yrs ago. Just know that when 'you' get to heaven, she will be there to greet you.</p>
