Last month both of my dogs were found to have mildly elevated ALT levels at their yearly exam. All other values including thyroid were normal. Neither of them had any symptoms of anything being wrong. The vet suggested giving them Denamarin Advanced to support the liver for 4 to 6 weeks and then retesting them. After 4 weeks of giving them Denamarin Advanced, I wound up with two dogs that were so gassy you could hear their stomachs gurgling across an entire room. Their gurgling stomachs were keeping me up at night! Then they both started vomiting bile in the early morning which neither of them had ever done in their entire 12 year lives. Supposedly this drug rarely has side effects but when I researched it, I see that it can cause gas and digestive upset. So I went from having two dogs with absolutely no digestive issues to having two gassy uncomfortable looking dogs vomiting up bile every morning and crazily eating grass. I feared they must have some horrid thing going on. Then I decided to I stop the Denamarin Advanced. After only one day they were almost back to normal. The next day they were completely normal and they have been completely normal for a week now. I have to question what this drug was doing to my dogs. Just wondering if anyone else has experience with it. Since this is happening to BOTH dogs who have no history of digestive issues and it only occurred after giving them Denamarin Advanced and the symptoms stopped for both of them right after stopping the Denamarin Advanced, the only conclusion I can come to is this drug is the culprit. This also goes to show that even if a drug rarely has side effects, it does cause side effects in some dogs. Anyway just wondering if anyone else has used this drug and what they experienced. Thanks.

Yes, our Puggle 35 lb had the same gas problem. We stopped. What is the solution to address the liver enzymes?
