Okay, do you have a copy of the blood panel?
The liver enzymes and BUN might be normal but are they high or low normal?

It definately sounds like liver shunt or MVD.
Intolerance to anesthesia is a symptoms.
Be very careful what drugs she is given...no NSAIDs ever.

Your next step is a Protein C Test sent to Cornell.
Normal range indicates MVD and abnormal indicates shunt.
Although the management with a symptomatic dog with MVD or LS (that can't have surgery) would be the same... So I guess you don't have to go further.
Those numbers are in shunt range but it is still very possibly MVD.

Is she on Hills wet or dry?
Is she only on milk thistle?

With two seizures, depression and anesthetic intolerance, I would start full supplementation.
