I'm so sorry Lilo has mammary cancer! Yes, cats can hide after being given medication. She's already not feeling well due to the cancer, and giving her medication (even though it's necessary!) will add some stress as well. I would let her hide for now, and she will come out when she's ready. I certainly hope she makes an appearance soon!
