This is a first for us in years of cat ownership...fairly new cat, we've had her a month, she hasn't been outside in that time. Informed by Cats Protection that she was up to date with flea, worm, vaccine treatments. This morning she vomited up a live roundworm 😱 Booked in at the vet for 12pm but I'm not gonna lie I am a bit freaked out! She's perfectly well in herself, (very) active, shiny coat, no visible worms in poo and this is the first vomit since we've had her, but for her to sick one up I'm guessing it must be quite a bad case? She does eat as if she's never been fed before but both we and CP assumed this is because she came off the streets as a feral kitten and grew up not knowing when or where her next meal would be. I feel awful even though I know it isn't anything we've done!
Also, we do have another cat (they don't get along yet and mix a minimal amount) and a dog - both regularly wormed but are they likely to need further treatment too? What about us, obviously wash hands after litter tray and feeding etc but are we likely to have picked them up as well? 😱
