Foods That Support Your Dog’s Liver
The liver filters toxins, stores nutrients, and makes bile, yet it stays silent until heavily damaged—so daily support matters. Quality protein, cruciferous vegetables, and berries aid detoxification, while milk thistle, dandelion root, and omega-3s protect cells. Just as vital is what to skip: fatty foods, toxic items like chocolate, onion, and grapes, and human medicines that strain or poison the liver. Keep water flowing and weight healthy.

My old dog vomits everything, is skinny, with bad liver, gastric dilation, and heart effusion
Vomiting comes from liver disease and gastric dilation; X-ray shows no clear object, but endoscopy needs risky anesthesia. Elderly with many complications responds slowly; if no surgery, conservatively use liver-protecting, kidney-supporting, and heart drugs to avoid failure.
