it sounds like round worms which are very common. Get dewormer from the vet and your cat should be fine. People can get larval migrations of these worms so make sure to clean the cat box out reguarly and was your hands well (especially if he goes outside and you garden)

this would desire to truly be dealt with via your vet. without something try, there is no thank you to comprehend precisely what species of computer virus your cat has. without understanding what the worms are, there is no incredibly solid thank you to cope with it. some worms are greater comfortable to drugs than others. What works on one won't paintings on yet another no count how oftentimes or how plenty you provide. If the cat vomited up stay grownup worms, she likely has a touch super parasite load, and giving too plenty medicine will reason the worms to die too rapidly. some species of intestinal worms launch a toxin while they die and this would kill a animal, easily. Intestinal worms the two hook up with the lining of the gut and feed on blood or they thieve nutrition from the host's nutrition. the two element can kill a cat ultimately. This incredibly demands a vet circulate to to superb.

If he's coughing of worms, yeah i suggest going to the vet. You don't want your little bundle of joy in pain? He may not be in pain, but so the same you would do for a child get him checked out incase something more serious is happening inside him. Better find out before it gets too bad to where it's a loss cause.
God bless your cat, good luck i hope everything turns out okay!

He probably ate something that had worms. And if he did he could get worms as well.
It is very important to get him into the vet.

He will be fine as long as you take him to the vet and get him dewormed. I have seen cats throw up roundworms before. Just get him a prescription dewormer and everything will be ok.

I work at a pet clinic. I think he is too young to die,cats live until 20 yrs. old. and I wouldn't worry. Make sure his appetitie is normal and he's not acting lethargic. Just get him checked out anyway.

take him to the vet immediately and get him a universal wormer, the vet will know how much to give him and will usually prescribe a few follow up treatements to make sure they got them all. good luck!
