One of my rescued cats vomited and looked unwell. Other cats vomit occasionally but they are immediately back to normal. This cat got worse very quickly then died. I couldn't figure out what caused this. The vet (two of the 4 vets I talked to) said it could be poison (not food poisoning) or a microbe, and told me to watch the other cats. That's why I'm very concerned now that another cat just vomited, one and a half days after the first cat died. They are both about 7 months old, both male and neutered about a month ago, and both had wounds that looked like a bite, although my cats never (as far as I've seen) bite each other and they don't go out.
Now I'm thinking it could have something to do with the wound, or it could be a microbe. In both cases, what could it be? Can a wound cause vomiting and death? What can I do? How can I protect other cats and take care of this one? I tried to put him next to me so he would feel loved but he walked away looking miserable although he is usually quite affectionate. He went to hide under the bed. Any advice asap is greatly appreciated.
