I apologize in advance if this has been addressed before in the forums.  I've been searching through the treatment section and some of the articles on artemisinin , along with many online google searches.  But I'm a bit confused.

From what I have read, I think I want to put Brendol on Artemisinin , but she just started chemo.  Had her first treatment this past Monday (and no side effects so far, so I think we are good with this one).  Is Artemisinin something that should be saved for when she is no longer on chemo?  Or do we do it in conjunction?  That's what's got me confused.

Additionally, I was looking into Milk Thistle.  I have the same question there.  I can't tell if that is something that is safe while she is on the chemotherapy.  On the bright side, my research indicated that Milk Thistle is something that I should probably be taking for my liver disease... learn something new everyday!  Anyway, one of the articles that I read (http://www.vete.....ancer.aspx) said that "The risk of herb-drug interactions appears to be low, but not non-existent. Milk thistle may inhibit certain isoforms of the cytochrome P450 family, namely CYP3A4 and CYP2C9. This becomes significant when combined with agents that depend on CYP3A4 for metabolism, raising concerns about adding milk thistle for “liver protection” during chemotherapy, especially at high doses."

I have changed both my girls' diets to Orijin 6 Fish and they are doing really well on that (other than it give them some potent poo!).  They are both on Glucosamine for joint support... my other girl has a Patella Luxation.  And I just purchased K9 Immunity Plus to supplement their diets. 

Am I missing anything?

Thanks for any feedback you think could help.
