If it's MVD, K/D is not recommended. L/D canned is preferred or Royal Canin LS 14 Hepatic kibble.

SAMe (Denosyl or some use Vetri DMG) should be given.
Milk thistle is also good (Hepato Support seems to be the favorite for severely liver compromised dogs). Some give vitamin e also.

Any symptoms?
yeah 1300 does not sound right and have never heard of a cat scan being done for this it is usually a scintigraphy to determine a liver shunt so i am really confused - is your dog having symptoms?

ask vet what pre and post bile acid numbers are and ask vet what ALT is and what is normal for that lab
