One vet has suggested that I put our Zoe on Cholestyramine (aka, Questran) due to her long abnormal liver values (ALP/ALT). Apparently, she's had success with it in terms of regulating such values.
I've read that Questran dries the digestive tract, so a bun taking it requires extra fluids (namely sub-Q's) for as long as it's administered. The vet said that she's never seen a bun require extra fluids while on it. So I'm confused on this front.
Then there's the product known as Bio-Sponge, that supposedly works on detoxifying the digestive tract. (Questran is more for detoxifying the liver, far as I know.) So I'm wondering:
1) Can Bio-Sponge be used for the same beneficial results (for detoxifying the liver and intestines)?
2) Does Bio-Sponge require that a bun taking it also receive a lot of extra fluids?
3) Does Questran really require that a bun taking it receives a lot of extra fluids?
Thank you,
