Dear Mary - No, I've never seen a liver get that big - it isn't all that close to the colon or intestine, and it rarely causes significant displacement of the GI tract so as to cause a decreased appetite (Spleens, on the other hand....)
And it's not an effect of eating only soft food -
this is one that probably should be seen on Monday by your vet.... there may be something of grave import going on here....
With kindest regards,
