My kitten switched food abruptly with no transition, ate a lot, then had diarrhea; I bathed it, and next day it was lethargic, dry-nosed, and refusing food, now vomiting but stools normal.
Food changes must be gradual; a sudden large amount causes gut upset with diarrhea and vomiting. This is likely stress from the switch plus the bath. Stop the new food, return to soaked old food, add probiotics. If vomiting continues, fast 6 to 8 hours with glucose electrolyte water, then pet anti-vomit medicine and antibiotics; if it stops, slowly return to soaked food; if it continues, see a vet.
