HELP!
Penny, my 7-month old female is not feeling well! I just found a a small worm exiting her anus. I think it's a round worm. here's the story:
She is always begging for food. We thought it was because she was a stray and has a thing about getting food. Thursday, she vomited 2 times. She's not done that before. Last night, she started sneezing, one right after the other. She kept me up with the sneezing it was so bad. She also crawled into bed with me; she's never done that before either. This morning she was fine, ate her food as usual, played with Bailey the new kitten for a bit then crashed in her bed. The problem, she hasn't left the bed since this morning. She's become quite lethargic, doesn't move, and her 3rd eyelid is showing. I tried to get her to eat, but she refuses food. So unlike her!
I'm afraid that she has a bad infestation of round worm and now her health is in serious jeopardy. I'm very worried for her. Is there anything I can do to help out until I find a vet that may be open tomorrow?
i don't understand, when she was "dewormed" a few months ago, wouldn't that take care of round worm? She does not have obvious signs of other parasites such as fleas.
I'm really in need of help here, I'm afraid she might die during the night.
