There can be several causes of excessive salivation in cats. Certainly, liver problems can cause this, however blood work would easily confirm whether there is definitively a liver problem or not. If liver values are elevated, then further testing would need to be done to determine exactly what is causing the problem in the liver - infection, inflammation, cancer, etc. If the liver is OK, then other possibilities include severe nausea (caused by a number of GI and non-GI problems), ingestion of a toxin, or dental disease. If the medication the vet you saw is not helping your cat, I would urge you to seek a second opinion.
