helping a horse with liver issues? borotutu/ chanca piedra

[LiffWee93]

After a bit of advice, horse is already being treated by vet and is booked for biopsy - just after something to help him along a bit.. hes on milk thistle and global herbs restore... i was recommended borotutu bark and chanca piedra by someone whos horse had major liver and kidney problems? Any one else used?
Just want to help him out as much as possible alongside conventional treatment..
have also heard dandelion root and peppermint can help??

I had my mare on milk thistle, dodson & horrell do it. She had high liver enzymes when i got a blood sample taken and vet said it wouldnt do her any harm to keep her on it
keep her on the low protein (but what protein she does have should be the highest possible quality) and Milk Thistle as a precaution. Be very very wary of ever giving her conditioning mixes or oil because these place high demands on the liver
My mare had got liver disease, prob due to long term bute for laminitis. Vet has prescribed us LEGAPHYTON cutting out some of her supplements and also her Alfa A lite.

Do you mind me asking what the enzyme levels were for GGT, AST, GLDH? Can't add much other than what has been said above.
