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.
What should I do if my cat’s ear keeps bleeding after being bitten by another cat?

My cat has white thick eye discharge, red blood vessels, and can barely keep its eyes open. What is going on?
