My Corgii has a Liver Failure looking for advice :(

Well it started on Friday she began getting sluggish but i didn't look to far into it. The next day she started vomiting a sausage like substance with a lot of white goo ( don't know what it really was ) and was trembling. The next day She INFLATED was acting lethargic and depressed like bloat which at first i thought that was the problem so i stayed up all night worried she was going to die ( since my grandpa didn't feel like taking me to the 24 hour hospital ) so I woke him up early around 7:30 am so we got to the vet at around 8:00 and she had X-rays and blood tests done. The vet said she was full of food ( gorged herself to an extent ) I felt a state of relief considering i have seen a few posts where the Corgi was also a sloppy eater with an overgrown appetite. So she stayed overnight at the vet, the next day the vet called my mom saying she has a Hepatic Failure ( liver failure ) and that she wasn't gonna make it. The vet suggested putting her to sleep but my mom said no. I don't know what to do my mom isn't here to make things better ( like she usually does ) and my grandpa isnt really doing good on that account.

The Vet put her on special Royal canine hepatic food , antibiotics, Denamarin ( S- adenosylmethionine ) to help support the liver, the vet says he can't save her so my final option is pray to God she gets better, give her what the vet supplied and hope she turns out alright.

Chuleika used to be so energetic, fun, loving, funny, protective. Now all she does is sleep, she really cant hold herself up breaks my heart seeing her like this and I really dont want to put her to sleep .... im dying inside :(

P.S : When i left her at the vet her eyesight was great. The day after shes partially blind walking into cabinets, doors, walls. Can anyone point out that cause?

:( this made me tear up. I feel like my corgi is my baby and I cry everytime I think about the fact that he wont be with me someday....that's life I guess but losing someone you love so much will always really hurt.

How is he doing? Is he going to make it???
