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.
My cat regurgitates the food it eats and is listless.
Not eating with vomiting has many causes: dietary indiscretion, foreign body obstruction, hairballs, panleukopenia, or poisoning and organ disease. Probiotics may help mild cases, but persistent or severe signs need a vet.
How long does a cat’s gastroenteritis take to heal?
Mild feline gastroenteritis often heals on its own in 3 to 7 days from diet or hairball causes. But worsening inflammation with vomiting and dehydration needs prompt treatment.
How long after feline panleukopenia (distemper) infection do symptoms appear?
Infected cats usually show signs in 3-10 days; distemper hits unvaccinated cats. Symptoms: persistent fever, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration and low white cells. Some resistant cats show nothing. Treat fast, as the disease progresses quickly and can kill.
What are the symptoms of canine coronavirus infection?

What are the symptoms of gastritis in dogs?
Main signs are frequent vomiting, abdominal pain, arched back, lethargy, and poor appetite, sometimes diarrhea. Acute cases risk dehydration, shock, and death; chronic cases cause weight loss and anemia. See a vet; feed a gastrointestinal prescription diet.
Why Is My Dog’s Mouth Trembling?
A trembling jaw can stem from cold, fear, illness, poisoning, or old age. Cold is the most common cause—warm your dog up if it shivers. Persistent trembling with other symptoms warrants a prompt veterinary check.
What to Do When Your Cat Has Soft Stools but Otherwise Seems Fine
Soft stools in cats are common and are not usually alarming if the cat is active and eating normally. They are often caused by diet — table scraps, sudden food changes, or overfeeding — or by gut issues such as infections, inflammatory bowel disease, parasites, or unbalanced gut flora. Adjusting the diet, adding probiotics, and deworming usually resolve it, but persistent or watery stools need a vet visit.
Why Is My Cat Lethargic After Deworming? Normal vs. Emergency
Mild drowsiness and reduced appetite after deworming are usually normal — the low-toxicity drug is metabolizing and the cat may be stressed. These fade within 24–48 hours. But if lethargy lasts over 2 days, or comes with vomiting, diarrhea, breathing trouble, or tremors, it may be an allergy, wrong dose, or hidden illness and needs a vet.
Can feline distemper heal on its own?
Feline distemper generally does not heal on its own; take the cat to the vet promptly, as timely treatment lowers the death rate. Symptoms include persistent high fever, refractory vomiting, severe diarrhea, refusal to eat, and sharply dropped white cells. It is highly contagious, so isolate other cats and monitor them, or test all with distemper antibody strips.
