My 15-year-old cat is not eating like he used to, and has lost weight. My vet suspected kidney disease, and has ran blood tests - all normal apart from low ALKP. Would he benefit from taking Milk Thistle?

Milk Thistle is a great liver support which can help to detoxify the liver. Since you mentioned that your kitty isn’t eating as well as before, this can have an impact on his liver health. For increasing the appetite, we recommend Yucca. It is a natural anti-inflammatory, but also has the added benefit of helping to stimulate the appetite. The Milk Thistle would still be a good supplement for him, because a lack of appetite can be quite tough on a cat’s liver. The low ALKP can be an indication of a dietary deficiency. The concern is that the diet isn’t balanced for him. Eating only meat and no other sources of vitamins and minerals could result in multiple issues. It is very important for pets in this case to receive some starches and vegetables as well. Adding the Multi Essentials would also be beneficial in this case, to help fill any nutritional voids.
