Very poorly cat - heart slowly breaking

I went to the vet on Wednesday with my 11 year old moggy, Twiggy. She had diarrhoea and was caught short away from the litter tray. Her anal glands were swollen and she had a temperature, so the vet gave her some antibiotics and an anti-inflammatory injection.
We went back the next day, Thursday, same vet, and I told her there was no improvement, in fact the opposite, Twiggy was becoming very subdued although her temperature was back to normal. The vet gave us tablet form antibiotics and told us to go back on Monday.
On Saturday Twiggy was shivering and sneezing, so back we went, a different vet this time. She had a raging temperature and she's losing weight, and still having diarrhoea. This vet told us to stop the oral antibiotics and gave Twiggy a long-acting antibiotic injection and said to take her back on Monday if there's no improvement, and blood tests will be the next step. Today she's just worse, she basically has cat flu on top of whatever else is going on and barely eating anything. I am worried sick and I feel I'm losing her.
I don't really know why I am writing this, just because I know you'll be able to understand how terrified and hopeless I feel... x
