Answer 1

You just have to wait for the biopsy report as that is the only way that cancer could be diagnosed. Certainly not by people here on the internet.

I hope that it is only an infection which can be resolved with anitbiotics. Only time will tell.

It is very stressful to have to wait for these medical reports and you have no other choice.

Answer 2

first off id say get a second opinion. im not a vet although i have worked with one, ive never heard of an orange liver. id b inclined to say it would b an infection. with the gallbladder being of an increased size the blockage may stem from there. id say wait for the test results of the biospy. they should clarify what it is. there have been cases where it looks like one thing but turns out to b something totally different. definatly get a 2nd opinion.

sounds like you need a different vet or your vet just needs to get it together and take some test.It could just be an infection but some cancers are mistaken for infections and that's why test need to be taken.Do it quick cancer for animals can be really painful depending on the cancer and you don't want your cat to suffer.
