Yes, if the liver problem is not severe then it's possible the symtoms could be fairly mild.

My Lucy has mild liver issues (small internal shunting) that we manage with a low protein diet. She did not require surgery due to the nature of her problem.

Did your vet do Bile Acid Testing or BATS? That's usually the first step if the liver enzymes are found to be elevated. Lucy has had 3 sets of those. Because her numbers were not that high (but higher than normal) - conservative management was recommended.

I'd ask about the BAT testing if not already done.

Keep us posted!
