Thanks Belinda  all of you for your support  prayers. The 
vet called  Peanut's liver values were all elevated. Her bilirubin 
 white count were thru the roof. He thinks that cholangiohepatitis is 
the most likely culprit. I took her to the vet for 3 days of supportive 
care  treatment (IV fluids, antibiotics, syringe feeding). I hated to 
do it...I don't want her to feel scared, but I felt it was her only 
chance. I really felt that she wouldn'thave survived the night if I 
had kept her here. It was really hard to leave, but I'm hoping this will 
turn her around. I had to go to work after that  there were no phone 
calls from them since I dropped her off, so I'm considering that to be good 
news. They would have called me if she would have needed to be moved to a 
24 hour vet for overnite care, so she was apparently medically stable enough to 
go the night there. Thanks again for the prayers  keep 'em coming 
:)

Hi 
  Yvonne, I hope it isn't hepatic lipidosis, the only 
  thing that will reverse that is enough food. The liver is one of 
  the organs that definitely can heal itself, but if she is jaundice from not 
  eating enough then food, more importantly enough food is the only way to save 
  her. Not saying this to scare you it is a fact and I've seen it enough 
  to know it is very reversible, Buddie had this, hers was caught very early on 
  and she was fine.Lots of prayers for Peanut. Make sure she is 
  getting a can to a can and half of food a day if this is what she has. 
  And yes it can strike in just a day or two if a cat quits eating, especially 
  if the cat is overweight to start with.I'm adding her now, hope her 
  blood work comes back with out any serious problems going on.--

I am so sorry and hope Peanuts is doing better. I have been dealing with
cholangiohepatitis for almost a year now on a non FELV cat, He needed
surgery and the ultra sound showed a lousy gallbladder and stones , He
had surgery and is on a lot of meds but is doing so very well, His labs
are normal again and the vomiting is rare, His weight is up and he is no
in pain, 
Please keep us informed and all my best wishes for Peanuts,
