Took my kitten to the vet today for her first physical/appointment. She's 8 weeks. Anyway she had her first worm treatment and they tested her poop for worms. She has round worm. I give her another treatment in 10 days. I have super bad issues with over thinking and worrying and am concerned about them being passed to me, my husband, and 18 month old daughter. I'm super good about washing hands after cleaning the litter and I clean it every time she poops, and completely change the litter once a week.
Now my daughter doesn't play in the cat box, I watch her well and make sure of it. My concern is if it's possible for us to get infected by touching the kitten or if she could spread it in to surfaces (ie. Floors, the bed, ect)? I'm just worries because she sleeps with us and so does our daughter. Also my daughter likes to roll on the floor and drop her cups and binkies on the ground then put them back in her mouth, which I can't always monitor.
So are we only at risk if poop is directly touched? Or can it be spread around my house, by touching the Kitten, or if she licks us? Help is much appreciated!
