Cat is not eating

[amrithanair268]

Hello everyone
My baby boy Bingo (1 year old) has not been eating food since a day. There was a major power outage during which he was alone and in the dark, we couldn't reach him. After we have come back in the morning, he has not eaten food or had any water.
We tried giving cat treat and he wants to have that. He had a small spoon of yogurt and some liquid from the wet food, but nothing other than that.
Will it be because of the stress from the power outage and having to be in the dark?
Any suggestions to get him to eat again would be welcome!

It does sound like maybe he got stressed during the power outage. Though, of course, it also could be just a coincidence. So keep trying to get him to eat, and if he doesn't get back to normal after another day or so, it might be a good idea to contact your vet.

Hello. Thank you so much.
He ate half a boiled fish. Later I saw that he had vomited. Saw a long, thin white worm in it.
What could it be?
Planning to take him to the vet tomorrow.

Are you sure it is a worm, and not something he ate in your household that resembles a worm? The first worm that comes to mind would be a roundworm.
