Ursodeoxycholic acid for dogs and cats

Ursodeoxycholic acid is commonly prescribed to dogs and cats by veterinarians to treat various conditions, including bile acid malabsorption, chronic liver disease, gallbladder disorders and cryptogenic hepatitis. When used correctly under the supervision of a vet, Ursodeoxycholic acid can be an effective treatment for these conditions. It works by increasing the solubility of bile acids and improving their excretion from the body, decreasing inflammation and improving liver function. Ursodeoxycholic acid can also help reduce gallbladder pain associated with gallstones and reduce cholesterol levels in the blood. However, Ursodeoxycholic acid should only be given to pets when prescribed by a vet and under their supervision.
