Dear X:
Cholodin is a dietary supplement with the following ingredients:
Phosphatidylcholine (from soy lecithin), choline (as chloride), dl-
methionine, inositol, zinc (as oxide), niacinamide, vitamin E, thiamine
(mononitrate), riboflavin, pyridoxine (HCl), selenium (sodium selenite),
vitamin B12 (cobalamin concentrate), and dexpanthenol. Formulated with
a flavor base.
Unfortunately, without more information on George's liver enzymes, I am
unable to confirm the possibility of liver failure. While this supplement
is not harmful, I do not see anything in it which would reverse liver
failure. Elevated liver enzymes are a common finding in ferrets who are
not eating well, and may be misinterpreted to represent primary liver
disease. I would be hesitant in ascribing miraculous actions to this
particular formulation - I would much rather ascribe them to your
wonderful nursing care.
With kindest regards,
Bruce Williams, DVM
