Zinc dosage

[Nola]

My Doberman has chronic active hepatitis. I know this community is for cushings disease but I have found you all to be very helpful with medication dosages, specifically milk thistle and SAMe. Does any one have information on the dose of zinc for liver support in dogs? Thanks in advance!

Hi Nola,

Can you tell me how much your baby weighs? I'll do a bit of research and see if I can find the zinc recommendations for you.

Hugs,
Leslie

Here's a link to a good article about zinc: http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=2+1659&aid=718

Excerpt from this article:
Zinc toxicity rarely occurs but overdosing can lead to problems with calcium absorption.

Love and hugs, Lori

Thanks Lori! She is a small girl at 65.7 lbs today at the vets. Tomorrow we will get the results of today's liver enzymes. Fingers crossed.
