She can eat her regular food. These values don't mean anything in and of themselves. I would have your vet check Keisty's bile acid levs to determine if she has an underlying liver issue. Now if that comes back abnormal then that means there is abnormal liver function and she should start a 30 day trial of Denamarin or Milk thistle to help he liver recover. I would also consider an abdominal ultrasound to confirm what exactly is wrong with the liver itself. Liver diets are only reserved for pets with a true liver shunt and not just liver disease. I hope this helps!
