liver support
The liver is an important organ in both dogs and cats because it helps with digestion, removes toxins from the blood, and stores vital nutrients. Additionally, it processes nutrients, produces bile for digestion, and detoxifies harmful substances – all of which are vital to maintaining general health.
Infection, toxins, poor nutrition, and congenital disorders can cause liver enzymes to be higher than normal and the liver to swell in animals. Common conditions which lead to liver abnormalities include chronic hepatitis, copper toxicity, and endocrine diseases such as diabetes and Cushing’s disease. Exposure to certain medications or toxins may also contribute to liver issues.
Exposure to certain medications or toxins may also contribute to liver issues
Various factors that may cause liver malfunction and large liver in pets include infections, for example, leptospirosis, toxins, poor nutrition, and genetic issues. Other risk factors that can contribute to the disease include trauma, stress, and the overuse of certain medications.
Early Signs of Liver Issues
Pets with liver issues can exhibit a number of early warning indicators. Lethargy, decreased appetite, vomiting, and diarrhea are a few examples that may be observed. Even though these symptoms might not seem severe at first, pet owners shouldn’t disregard them because they can identify underlying liver problems early on.
Advanced Symptoms
As liver disease progresses, more severe symptoms may appear, such as jaundice (yellowing of the eyes, gums, or skin), ascites (swelling of the abdomen due to fluid accumulation), seizures, and significant weight loss.
If you notice any of the above symptoms in your pet, seek veterinary care as soon as you can; early intervention is key to help improve the outcome for your pet.
Natural Ways to Support Liver Health
1. Dietary Adjustments
A balanced diet is essential for liver health. Opt for fresh, unprocessed foods with low fat and moderate protein content. Avoid high-carbohydrate diets and foods high in copper. Incorporating green vegetables, berries, and lean meats can be beneficial.
2. NHV Herbal Supplements
Herbal supplements like NHV Milk Thistle, NHV Turmeric, and NHV BK Detox can support liver health by promoting regeneration, reducing inflammation, and detoxification, respectively. These supplements can be a valuable addition to your little one’s integrative regimen to help manage liver conditions naturally.
3. Weight Management and Exercise
Maintaining a healthy weight through regular exercise and a balanced diet may reduce the strain on your pet’s liver. Obesity can exacerbate liver problems, so keeping your pet active and at a healthy weight is essential.
Monitoring and Managing Liver Health
Routine veterinary check-ups are vital for monitoring your pet’s liver health. Regular blood tests can help detect elevated liver enzymes early, allowing for timely intervention and management. Blood tests measuring liver enzymes such as ALT, AST, GGT, and ALP are crucial for assessing liver function. Elevated levels of these enzymes can indicate liver damage or disease, necessitating further investigation and treatment.
Liver problems can be identified early by keeping an eye on your pet’s daily routine and noting any changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels. By discussing these changes with your veterinarian, you can improve your pet’s chances of recovery.
Liver problems can be identified early by keeping an eye on your pet’s daily routine
By understanding the importance of liver health, recognizing symptoms early, and implementing natural support strategies, you can help manage dysfunctional and large liver in pets effectively. Regular veterinary care and a proactive approach to diet and supplements can make a significant difference in your pet’s liver health and overall well-being.

Joint Support: can be used for supporting cats with arthritis due to its anti-inflammatory properties.

Healing Properties of Turmeric
Turmeric itself is a root with vibrant orange-golden flesh. It’s golden in the world of herbalism for pets with its many healing properties.
- Can help arthritic conditions due to its anti-inflammatory properties and COX2 inhibitors
- Can support autoimmune disorders by potentially improving the signaling pathways of immune cells
- Can benefit cats with cancer due to its antioxidant content
- Can support liver disorders through detoxification
- Can support heart conditions through improved circulation
- Can help to lower bad cholesterol (LDL) which cats are prone to
- Can help reduce the risk of blood clotting
One of turmeric’s most well-recognized healing properties is its antioxidant content. Antioxidants can help scavenge for free radicals, which are unstable molecules that cause damage to the cells. The free radical scavenging properties of turmeric can support the body in processing and removing these molecules, minimizing the damage they can do.
