if her numbers are almost normal then mvd which is tiny shunts in liver thus not allowing liver to function properly see link
MVD
get a copy of all blood work and vet records and keep in file at home always as if your baby has an emergency you need those records so they do not retest for no reason
my dog has mvd with no symptoms and she is on 18% protein so dogs with no symptoms of mvd can be on 22% or lower food and dogs with symptoms 18% protein and does not necessarily have to be L/D with no symptoms -keep in mind alot of vets are not real familiar with liver shunt and mvd
