She has lost her appetite completely. I'm not sure if she got into something because she was fine a couple days ago. Now she acts like she can barely hold her head up. I gave her the wormer about a week ago. But her symptoms didn't start until 2 nights ago

It sounds like your cat is experiencing some troubling symptoms, including vomiting, lethargy, and a loss of appetite. The yellow color in her vomit might suggest the presence of bile, which can occur when the stomach is empty or due to gastrointestinal upset. Since these symptoms have persisted for a few days and are accompanied by lethargy and a lack of appetite, it's important to consider several possibilities.

The recent use of a cat wormer might cause some gastrointestinal upset, but since the symptoms appeared a few days later, it might not be directly related. Other potential causes could include dietary indiscretion, such as eating something she shouldn't have, an infection, or even stress.

At home, make sure she has access to fresh water to prevent dehydration. You might also try offering her small amounts of bland food, like boiled chicken or a special diet designed for sensitive stomachs, to see if she can tolerate it. However, given the severity and persistence of her symptoms, it's crucial to keep a close eye on her condition.

If she doesn't improve or if you notice additional symptoms like diarrhea, further vomiting, or increased lethargy, I recommend seeking veterinary attention promptly. A veterinarian can conduct a thorough examination and possibly run tests to determine the underlying cause and provide the appropriate treatment.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
