Hello all, 

So I recently adopted a kitten, and she is about 4 months old now. The lady I adopted her from said that she had her dewormed in October,  but about a week ago I found out she had worms, she puked up a lot of them. The next morning I took her to the vet and he told me they were roundworms and he gave me medication of Panacur. It says on the packet to give it to her once daily for three days, and I did. So it has been about a week since we gave her her first dose and she hasn't pooped or puked any worms out. She is still very very bloated. The vet told me to come back in about a week or two for a stool sample, I am just wondering if I should wait the full two weeks or take her in now. I know it can take up to two weeks for the worms to die off, but I am just worried for my baby. She doesn't feel sick and she hasn't lost her appetite. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Just want these worms out of my Molly.

Thank you.

I would call your vet and discuss over the phone.  Vets usually will do a phone call for a condition that they have seen the cat for.
