I know that's a sign of mast cell BUT it was a good good GOOD sign that it hadn't attached underneath!! Good call all around. Trust me, I understand the worry.
And yeah -- milk thistle helps detox the body from all the sedatives/anesthesia, etc. In fact -- if you are open to it -- Heel makes an AWESOME homeopathic detox called ... (ready, this is a toughie) "Detox Kit"
It's 3 different homeopathic liquids -- You'd need to do this apart from food (like an hour or so after dinner/breakfast and during the day IF you can swing it). The human dose is 10 drops of EACH liquid 3 times a day. For a dog, maybe 3 drops is sufficient. It IS alcoholy -- but you really do NOT want to have this digest in the stomach so you don't add it to food. You could dilute the 9 drops in water but you want to squirt it in the mouth, not just risk whether she'll drink her bowl dry.
But that is the BEST detox I've ever encountered -- use it on me all the time and I know my vet uses it on her patients all the time (including my dogs in the past). You do the drops 2-3 times a day for a week and then stop.
That's something you need to get at a health store -- Whole Foods carries it, and probably Wild Oats if you have one of those.
