Lol let's see if I can fit the word "worm" into the title one more time
So, my question is basically the title. If a kitten who has worms is wormed, will there be evidence of worms in its stool?
I was concerned about possible worms in my 12 week old kitten but his fecal done 3 weeks ago was clear (although I know those can give false negatives). He has had smelly poops that are often very light in color-almost gray. He also is very skinny, his body condition looks almost more like a geriatric cat than a little kitten. He was wormed at his vet visit on Tuesday, and I brought up his symptoms with the vet; he wasn't super concerned. He said it could indicate an absorption issue but the kitten is actually gaining more weight than average, more than one pound a month so he is probably fine, although he did agree that he was skinny.
So I was just wondering if I'd see evidence of worms if he'd had them. He had diarrhea twice on Tuesday night, solid poops Wednesday, solid poops this morning, and suddenly total diarrhea this afternoon. I will admit I looked through his poops and didn't see any worms, would I if he had had them? Thank you!!
