Fighting can result in wounds which can become infected causing the symptoms reported. Ideally, the two cats that haven't eaten should be examined by your veterinarian. Cats that do not eat for 2+ days are at risk for developing serious liver related complications. Blood and urine samples can be submitted to assess major organ function and to diagnose systemic infection. Antibiotics and pain medication can be dispensed if necessary.
