I bathed my cat two days ago; about three hours later it started vomiting yellow, sticky fluid, then had diarrhea, then vomited white transparent foam twice. It is anorexic. Today it vomited white foam again, then yellow with black hair. Still won’t eat. The cat had all three vaccine shots and energy is okay, plays with the teaser.
Two days of vomiting suggests acute gastroenteritis, blockage, or hairballs. Stop feeding during severe vomiting; energy is OK so infection is unlikely, but see a vet soon to avoid worsening.
My dog just turned two months old; because of a tick bite it was shaved and given a medicated bath, then slept with the AC on. For three days it barely ate, only goat milk, but energy and stools were normal. On day five it ate, but in the afternoon spiked to 40.7C, and shots and medicine did not bring the fever down; it stayed 39.5-40. The dog is unvaccinated, no distemper, weight 0.95kg.
Persistent high fever needs prompt vet care; it may signal bacterial pneumonia, gut infection, blood parasites, distemper, or parvovirus. Non-viral cases are easier to treat. Fever is usually lowered by injection plus physical cooling while the vet finds the cause.

What Happens When a Dog Is Bitten by a Tick
Ticks are tiny blood-feeding parasites that can transmit disease within hours of attachment. Prevention—regular preventive medication and avoiding tall grass—is far safer than removing an embedded tick yourself.
What happens if a cat is never bathed?
Without bathing, oil builds up on the skin and coat, causing odor, matting, and even dermatitis. Parasites can also thrive, so occasional baths are needed, though every 2-3 months is enough for house cats.
