Default Prednizone for liver disease?

My (4 yr old) baby was diagnosed with a liver shunt last year and has been doing very well on K/D (my vet prefers K/D over L/D for her) and Marin. He tested her liver enzymes level yesterday and while he was happy that they were so low, he felt they were still a bit over where the numbers should be. He wants to put her on a very low dose daily regimen of Prednizone - my question is, has anyone put their liver dog on Prednizone for liver disease, and if so, has the Prednizone helped? My main problem with putting her on this is because I know it increases their thirst (which makes her potty problems worse) and I've just now gotten her on a great potty schedule. It took forever to get her house-trained. Any Prednizone info for liver disease would be helpful!!
