How long does it take for roundworms to die after the medicine has been given? And can roundworms make a cat vomit???

Thanks, this is my first encounter with worms..... YUCK>>>>

Someone told me to completely change the litter 2 days after the med was given. Take it outside, empty it and clean it with bleach.

And yes, worms can make a cat vomit. Make sure you clean it up immediately and get everything.

You will see roundworms in the stool as well as what the cat coughs up. it usually takes a couple treatments to rid the cat of the worms. You want to keep her well hydrated during this time-

My vet said that this was the only treatment that I needed to give him. And I should bring in a stool smple in another couple weeks just to make sure the worms were gone


I gave him a liquid that I mixed in with his food.
