Hi Denise,
Here is Dr. Lamb’s response:
Have blood checked by your veterinarian to see if he currently is having liver problems. If so, things like milk thistle may be helpful. If his liver function is appropriate now though then you may not need any medication. The liver is amazing and regenerate after damage so if the infection resolved and there was no scarring he may not need anything specific. Just a good diet and good husbandry to keep him healthy.
