I wondered if you might have some thoughts about this for the OP?

and I posted at the same time, which is ok --minds thinking alike 
We really don't have good cat vets here in India! I'll definitely be going to the same vet again, but I'm trying to get some helpful inputs here, try a few things I can do without going to the vet. If nothing seems to work till April, of course I'll go to the vet
So she had worms in the stomach, which is what supposedly caused the infection? I'm continuing the food recommended by the vet. He said I could continue it upto 3
The vet said stomach worms caused the infection.. She also had a urinary infection then, which was okay after medication. (She was given 3 different medicines) As for the food, the vet said i could continue it for three months to reduce stress on the liver, which I am, but I'm giving it in just one meal as per the directions given on the package. For the other meal, she is refusing commercial wet food and homemade minced chicken, which she was eating earlier, but now she vomits if I give her that. So she is on boiled chicken shreds and broth now. I would experiment with more food but I've finally got her to stop vomiting, which is a huge relief in itself! Should I try normal medicine for diarrhea? I WILL be going to the vet in a while, I'm just looking for how I can help my cat out until then!
Yes, a culture was done and the medication was chosen accordingly! As for the diet, the vet has prescribed special food to reduce load on the digestive system, i am following that plus some chicken and broth. No unnecessary carbs! I'll definitely look into probiotics. Thank you! Pippen must have been looked after extremely well :') <3Sorry for the delayed response...
I agree that the infection needs to be addressed first.
Has the vet actually done a culture to determine exactly what kind of bacteria is responsible for the infection? Sometimes certain bacteria do not respond to the normal medications.
The one positive thing about the liver is that it is the only organ that can repair itself. In fact, a healthy liver is actually in a constant state of self repair. HOWEVER, if there is damage occurring at a rate faster than the rate of repair, that is when you get into trouble and permanent scarring... and an infection is exactly that kind of trouble.
Once the infection has been cleared, you can assist the liver's natural repair process with support supplements like Marin (milk thistle) and Denosyl (SAM-e). If you opt for the human supplements, be sure to consult with your vet for dosages. Your vet might even recommend predinsolone for a while to help with inflammation.
Diet can also play an important part in keeping the liver functioning well. Foods that have too much grain, soy, fillers, or other unhealthy ingredients make the liver work harder than it really should. And if the liver is stressed by infection, you want to make its job easier by giving it the high meat protein diet that a carnivore's system is designed for.
Probiotics are also a good option for promoting a healthy gut while fighting infections. Many antibiotics will kill off the good gut bacteria that are needed for the digestive process. If things are not broken down well enough, that makes more work for the liver. So probiotics can help alleviate that burden.
If there has been permanent damage, you may need a lifetime support regimen... which is what I ended up doing for our angel Pippen. We managed his liver damage for 10 years, and we were grateful for every loving moment.
