I'm sorry to hear that your cat is experiencing these symptoms. Diarrhea, vomiting, and loss of appetite can indeed be concerning, especially when they occur together.

Firstly, dietary issues could be a factor. Sometimes, a sudden change in diet or consuming something inappropriate can lead to these symptoms. Make sure she has access to fresh water and consider offering a bland diet, such as boiled chicken and rice, to help settle her stomach.

Infections or parasites are another possibility. These can cause gastrointestinal symptoms, and while you can monitor her for a day or two, if the symptoms persist, it’s important to visit the vet for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Given that you mentioned she was frequently stepped on and now cannot walk, this could indicate a serious injury. This is particularly concerning and warrants immediate veterinary attention to rule out fractures or internal injuries.

Considering the combination of symptoms and her inability to walk, it's crucial to seek veterinary care as soon as possible. These symptoms could indicate a more serious underlying condition that requires professional treatment.

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