We had a basset several years ago,Louella, who had an enlarged liver and elevated liver enyzmes all her life. She lived to almost 13, and died of congestive heart failure. In her case, neither the size of the liver nor the enzymes meant much...in retrospect, the vet thought she might have had a mild case of inflammatory bowel disease (couldn't tell if from the way she ate!). Hope your doggie's symptoms are also without serious consequence.
