A four-month-old cat suddenly lost appetite and vomits yellow fluid, nine times in two days; ate a pesticide earlier and half an amoxicillin capsule. The pet hospital is closed, the cat’s nose and paw pads are pale. What do I do? Urgent!

My cat has been vomiting for a while and barely eats these past two days; just vomiting with no other symptoms.
Cat vomiting has many causes; mild cases need fasting, probiotics, and medication, while persistent vomiting with other signs suggests panleukopenia or organ disease needing a vet.
Cat had reduced appetite for two days, refused food and water on the third, started vomiting the day before yesterday, threw up roundworms yesterday, then yellow fluid at night; gave dewormer today but no improvement.
Vomiting roundworms means heavy parasites have damaged the gut and cause yellow vomiting; after deworming, support the gut. Fast, give fluids if possible, and use anti-emetic and probiotic care.
