Any medications and supplements tend to make the kidneys and liver work harder, therefore the lfts and bun/creatinine may become even more elevated and also increase the risk of nausea and vomiting. The antibiotics are just for pre-op preparation.
Once she’s stable and the infection is cleared up (dental surgery), she may benefit from diet changes and supplements as aids.
My dog with kidney damage (complication of Lyme) had higher values than that.

I hope the vet can explain things in more detail and put your mind at ease. Good luck with your decision.
