You could get a second opinion, but then that could be a waste of time and money. Doesn't really matter what a general vet thinks should be done at this point once a dog is sent to a specialist. It's their call. As Ellie's vet tells clients when she works ER and finds a problem that needs a specialist, "You'll go there and take this paper with you along with test results. They may do XYZ if they agree with what I'm thinking or they may not agree with me."
Lucy needs a specialist, so it doesn't really matter what a second general vet says.
A toxin can make enzymes and bile acids go up. Whether or not there was a toxin in any of that food (or she got something outside, etc.) would be the question. A specialist can assess for that. Things like chocolate, xylitol (in a lot of things), chemicals, etc. can do a lot to the liver as can infections like leptosporosis, etc. So no way to say right now.
