I'll feel much better when the more experienced vet/surgeon is back in their office next week and can talk to me.

Stressful and frustrating.... YES. But, just for today I'll do what I can and get supplements, and work on her diet, and mostly just hug her to pieces. She is such a sweet angel, and senses my concern, she acts like she wants to comfort me.

BAT and ALT can be up for more reasons than just LS or MVD. So a Protein C test would be good but just because it is normal, I don't think that automatically means it is MVD (unless it is strongly suspected because of her breed).
