Exactly. A sticky is a great idea as a starting place but in order not to mislead, it would either just need to have a few links or endless information.
As for ultrasound, yes it is best to get a Protein C test and then move to scintography for "most" dogs, but in Ellie's case her bladder was in question (possible stones secondary to liver issues), so she had to have the U/S. This may be more common than what people would think... Yes, it is best to skip liver biopsy "unless" the dog is opened for spay already... Low protein is advisable but may be increased if the dog is asymptomatic... There are just so many variables. So all of this needs to be explained IMO.
