Poor little sweetie. You probably don't have to do a liver biopsy if you are doing the protein c test. Maybe just a scintography to rule out liver shunt completely and just treat as MVD (my opinion only).

Are you feeding L/D canned or L/D kibble?

Have you thought about cooking for her? Some owners have gotten excellent results with this. Please no red meat though.
