Ugh, hello.
Our mother cat just vomited up a ton of worms...like a wiggly pile of spaghetti. My vet isn't open yet, so some questions to ease my mind before I call:
Our mother cat just vomited up a ton of worms...like a wiggly pile of spaghetti. My vet isn't open yet, so some questions to ease my mind before I call:
- Are these roundworms? That's what my research looks like it points to.
- How likely is it that the other adult cat that uses the same few litter boxes has them, too? Will they require stool/blood samples from her to confirm?
- This looks like A LOT. Is this normal infection level or is this bad?? She is skinny, but we just assumed she was a petite cat since she is small in height.
- She hasn't been really eating as much as they usually would the past 2 days...is this even more concerning? (Not to say she hasn't eaten, but I have noticed she is a little off her diet).
- Kittens just got their second dose of dewormer... should they be ok? They use seperate litter boxes FOR THE MOST PART, but sometimes mom comes in and uses theirs. She also still occasionally nurses, very rare but I've seen her doing it within the past 4 days.
- Should be and my boyfriend be concerned about contracting them? I deal with most of the litter pick up and wash my hands after, etc., but I am the one to empty and clean the litter boxes. Also, they have free roam of the house so she does lay on our bed and stuff.
