Hello. At such a young age those elevated liver values may not be anything to worry about or it could be a sign of a congenital problem called a Portosystemic Shunt. At this point in time, if your vet has not told you otherwise, just feed Scooby a regular maintenance dog food, nothing high protein. He should have his liver values monitored & if the values stay a little elevated, a bile acids test should be run. One mild elevation in liver values does not necessarily indicates that there is really something wrong with the liver, but you do want to monitor this for a while to see if a trend is developing.
