Default Frustrated, need advice!

Hi everyone! I have been on here on and off- and am shocked to see how many yorkies have liver issues- Lilly had her 3rd bile acids done yesterday and unfortunately despite diet and lactulose they are going up. Pre was around 11 and Post was 98.7 We were managing medically only as last year her post was in the 50's. ALT and AST are normal. She has had no S/Sx clinically. They had a hard time getting her to eat her food and had to give her something else- I am not sure what. She is currently on the soft L/D mixed with hard L/D diet. I give her a little cottage cheese and sweet potatoes at times to get her to take the lactulose.

My vet is looking into prices and more information from UW Madison for further testing- If we go that route. I really hate to put her through such invasive procedures as she is only 3 1/2 pounds. I NEED ADVICE PLEASE! Lilly is just shy of two, and is our baby!! Anyone have any guidance? Thanks
