There are not enough facts to know specifically, although you have certainly raised suspicions. Please consult with a reputable employment attorney in your area to determine what your specific rights and remedies might be given the entire context. You may find one on the California Employment Lawyers website.

You may, depending on the specific facts. California and federal law requiring reasonable accommodation applies here -- meaning that the employer may have a duty to provide a further leave of absence as an accommodation. The employer may have also not followed the proper rules allowing FMLA leave -- and you may have a claim there as well depending on the facts.
