It's concerning that your normally enthusiastic eater has stopped eating and is feeling lethargic. The yellow vomit could indicate a number of gastrointestinal issues or other health concerns.
- Monitor your cat's condition closely.
- Lack of appetite combined with vomiting and lethargy is a red flag.
- Immediate consultation with a vet is advisable.
These symptoms can be caused by various issues, such as an upset stomach, ingestion of something harmful, or a more serious underlying condition. Since cats are very skilled at hiding illness until it's more severe, it's best not to wait and hope symptoms resolve on their own. Consulting with a veterinarian can provide you with professional guidance and peace of mind.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
