I have a cat that was rescued from being abandoned and then given to me. She was a bag of bones (with enlarged nipples and tummy so I’m guessing she’s pregnant 🤷🏻‍♀️) I’ve only had her a few days but she’s already filling out and her fur is starting to look and feel healthier. I gave her some piperazine but then right after that I fed her too much and she threw up a little while after. Should I give her another dose of the wormer?

You definitely need a vet opinion on that. Pregnant and possibly did ingest some of the meds makes it a little iffy. I would not risk a second dose without checking. A simple call could get an answer. Has she seen a vet yet? That would be top of my list for her if she hasn’t. She is absolutely beautiful! I am so glad you have taken her in to your home. You are saving her and kittens too! Please do keep us updated and thank you for the precious photos! :catlove: I hope we’ll see more.

Oh wow, she looks so happy- like she knows she is safe now. I agree with Jcatbird that a vet needs to be consulted in regards to whether she should have a second dose.
