We are going to do a complete blood panel on Monday for an over all check and re-test the bile acids. |

They also said that she could quite possibly be MVD and not a candidate for surgery. The only way to tell if it is a shunt would be for the porto gram or a special x-ray like the one at UT. |
Sounds like you and your Vet on the right track.
My Roxy's first BAT was 100.9 and since being on a special low, but quality protein and liver aid supplements, her BAT has come down to the 60 to 80 range. Her Protein C test was 165% and she shows no symptoms.
Has your Vet recommended giving her more Lactulose to rid the toxins that are building up and possibly causing the seizures?
