My kitten started throwing up recently, and a lot, and after taking her to the vet I was told she has worm eggs in her poo. However, the vet wasn't very helpful about my re-infection questions. Maybe I'm missing something...
I gave an anti-worm pill to the kitten today, but as far as I understand, it's enough for a cat to lick her butt to eat up some eggs and become infected once again. Or bury her stuff in litter and lick her paws after that. What do people usually do to prevent that? Or is frequent de-worming mandatory for a lifetime once a cat has been infected once?
