Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Poor Cesar! The swollen eyes and the vomiting, if came on suddenly, can definitely be from an allergic reaction. I doubt it is from eating colored paper. It is usually from an insect sting or bite. Because he vomited with the allergic reaction I recommend taking him to your Vet. They then will likely give him injections of steroid and antihistamines. The tail hair loss and greenish discharge likely indicated an infection. It could be bacterial or yeast or ringworm (fungus) or trauma. Have the Vet take a look at the area when you bring him in. Good luck!
