Dear Dr. Tobin,
I adopted a Shih-Tzu almost two years ago. She was ten and had come to me with many skin problems that had been treated with prednisone by the previous owners.
Changing her diet and elimnating grains and giving her a good holistic diet has helped her so much. She has many little bumps on her legs and her body that are allergy related.
She also is possibly borderline Cushings. She has quite an enlarged liver that is pressing on her organs. She is doing quite well and I am now supplementing her diet with milk thistle. Is there anything else that I can do to help her through this and to hopefully keep the liver from getting any bigger.
I live in RI... Do you have appointments available?

Thank you so much

To help her liver, you can give her some raw beef liver daily. You can reach my office at 203 238 9863. The milk thistle should be a big help.

Thank you, Dr. Tobin. How much beef liver do I give her. She is 19 lbs. Their tummies are quite sensitive.
Would like to come and see you. We live in Hope Valley, RI. very close to the Conn. border.
