Hello, & thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. A loose stool & vomiting together can quickly lead to a pet becoming dehydrated. In addition, I would guess that Nesta is not eating well, & a cat that stops eating for even a few days can actually begin to develop some liver issues. So yes, Nesta should be evaluated by your veterinarian. Hopefully he will be feeling better soon. Take care.
