A mild increase in ALP is not particularly significant in my opinion in the absence of clinical signs or other hematologic changes. I would recheck the values in another 3-6 months for changes unless there are clinical signs of illness sooner. Other more aggressive diagnostics could be done however just to be sure nothing is wrong include ultrasound or other advanced imaging techniques (CT , MRI). There are also liver supplements such as Denamarin or Denosyl that help provide liver support. They are extremely effective in lower liver enzymes back to normal. Hope this makes sense.
