Try to just remain calm for right now. Here is my advice as my Roxy has liver issues - MVD - you can do a google search and read about what that is too.
She needs to see a Vet - as soon as possible. If you can get an AM appt. I would suggest fasting her from food for at least 10 hrs before. She can have water (no sugar though). This way you can insist that they do a Bile Acid Test during your Vet visit. I would also suggest they do a CBC has well.
The Bile Acid Test will show how the liver is functioning. The CBC will show if there is anything 'else' off that would or could indicate a liver issue.
Depending on the area you are in the BAT and the CBC could each run $60 to $100 a piece - BUT they are VERY important.
You should get the results the next day. Then depending on what those results are, will tell you how you should proceed. AND we can help guide you, once you tell us those results.
I hope that helps
