Roundworm. The usual de-wormers should fix that.

looks like a rubberband to me at the same time i have never seen one plus i would assume most worms go out the other end of a catto find a new host

When was the Droncit given?

I have 2 different litters if kittens so it varies. I would say the youngest litter was about 3-4 weeks ago.

Yeah, new eggs hatch after 3 weeks or so. So to properly treat roundworms you have to give 2-3 doses 3 weeks apart each.

The vet told me it would kill eggs and larvae

Maybe of the other worms. . .but roundworm eggs are tough and very difficult to kill.

"However, none of these treatments will kill the immature forms of the worm or the migrating larvae. The eggs are highly resistant to common disinfectants and even to harsh environmental conditions."

I've had cats all my life and never such an issue with worming, I had 2 cats for 17 years and probably only wormed them once, except for when one got tapes.

So basically I have to make this a monthly thing now since eggs are all over my house?

I'm sure those came from the new kittens and they are going to a new foster home this weekend and will be wormed. I will call my vet about my other 6.
