We came home and about a week or so later she started blowing up again. We put her back in the hospital and they drew off over 6 liters this time. They went down through her throat and inspected the liver and made their diagnosis. The doubled the dosage on the water pill she was taking. I talked to the Dr about starting her on Milk thistle and he said that is a great idea because they know it helps the liver. It actually helps the liver rebuild cells.
I also started her on a Turmeric from mega foods called turmeric strength for liver. it also has milk thistle, schisandra berry extract & black pepper. Your body can't process much or the turmeric without black pepper or oil of black pepper.
I also started her on Ginger, yellow dock & dandelion root. After starting this almost two weeks ago, she had actually lost 4 pounds and no more fluid collecting. She is more cognitive, walking better & think on the mend. I give the capsules twice daily.
Doctors have acknowledged for years that milk thistle seed is great for the liver. They refer to it as sylimarin.
Dandelion & yellow dock helps to flush toxins out of the liver.

I used a Swanson product that I purchased from Amazon. Here is the product on Amazon:

So far, after being on Milk thistle there has been no more fluid collecting in the abdomen. After two weeks I put her on just milk thistle that can be purchased at any herb store. Taking too much dandelion & yellow dock can cause loose bowels. I am also giving her Turmeric/black pepper & ginger. So far she is doing much better but time will tell. It normally takes 4 to 6 months for the herbs to show a big difference.
