What happens if a Teddy (Poodle) eats pig liver?
Occasional pig liver supplements vitamin A, protein, minerals—beneficial. But it's fatty; long-term large amounts cause obesity, raising diabetes/heart/pancreas risks. Liver is a detox organ that may hold heavy metals/toxins—long-term risk. Raw liver may carry parasites/bacteria causing gut upset, diarrhea, vomiting.

My old dog vomits everything, is skinny, with bad liver, gastric dilation, and heart effusion
Vomiting comes from liver disease and gastric dilation; X-ray shows no clear object, but endoscopy needs risky anesthesia. Elderly with many complications responds slowly; if no surgery, conservatively use liver-protecting, kidney-supporting, and heart drugs to avoid failure.

From your description the cat is likely in dystocia with the fetus stuck; three days of strong straining plus no eating and vomiting means she is in danger and the fetus may be dead, causing sepsis. Aside from urgent vet care and possibly surgery, there is no better option; if she were still eating and active, oxytocin and abdominal massage could be tried, though risky.
