Hill's L/D dry is not recommended because it contains ethoxyquin(a carcinogen) as a preservative, the canned L/D does not contain that, and many liver compromised dogs eat this food.
Dr. Center does not recommend red meat or fish for liver compromised dogs as they are encephalogenic...Many of her articles state that vegetarian and dairy protein produce much less ammonia and are preferred...
Natural Balance Vegetarian or Avoderm Vegetarian might be some foods that you might want to try.
I would definitely put her on a veg diet and liver supplements (like the Denamarin that you are using) and recheck the BAT in a few weeks.
She may or may not have a liver problem.
Did they check her urine pH? Did they see any crystals? The tiny bit of blood would concern me...
