Hello!
My feral kitten was dewormed twice and then a few months later had a fecal test come back negative. But a day after the test results, I found worms. It was really, really, disgusting.
She is now locked in the bathroom with a disposable litter box and a healthy dose of Profender. When I first gave her the medicine she didn't have an appetite and her stomach rumbled a ton.
The medicine seemed to migrate - I put it directly on the skin at the base of her skull as recommended, but the greasy spot has moved to the bottom of her left shoulder blade, so I'm concerned she didn't get proper dosing.
I gave her the dewormer about 15 hours ago. When I gave her her breakfast, about an hour ago, she ate it happily but made gulping sounds that sounded like she was going to throw up (but did not).
I'm having trouble finding specific information. I understand cats may throw up on the dewormer, but does anyone know when I don't have to worry about her puking up worms anymore? So she can get out of the bathroom. What's the timeline for this working? And do I need to be worried about the medicine moving?
Thanks!
