It sounds like your cat is having a tough time with vomiting and a loss of appetite, especially following the recent deworming treatment. The vomiting could be due to various factors, including the stress of new food, the deworming medication, or the tapeworm itself. Here are a few considerations to help manage her condition:

Firstly, sudden changes in diet can upset a cat's stomach. Since she vomited after trying the new food, it's good that you switched back to her old food. However, if she continues to vomit, it might be beneficial to offer her a bland diet for a few days. Boiled chicken or white fish without any seasoning can be gentle on her stomach.

Secondly, ensure she stays hydrated. Vomiting can lead to dehydration, which can make her feel worse. Offer her fresh water frequently and consider giving her ice cubes to lick if she isn't drinking much.

Additionally, keep an eye on her for any other symptoms such as lethargy, diarrhea, or continued loss of appetite. These could indicate a more serious issue that requires veterinary attention.

It's also worth noting that sometimes deworming medications can cause gastrointestinal upset. If the vomiting started after the deworming injection, it might be a side effect. This should subside, but if it persists, consult your vet.

Lastly, ensure her environment is calm and stress-free. Sometimes, stress can exacerbate vomiting and appetite loss.

Given that she has been vomiting for a few days and has a history of tapeworms, it would be wise to consult your veterinarian if the vomiting continues or if she shows any other concerning symptoms. They can provide a thorough examination and possibly prescribe medication to help with the vomiting.

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