Sorry to hear that Cookie is feeling so bad! If she is vomiting up worms, this is an indication that her worm burden within her GI tract is extremely high. She is need of a dewormer very badly. I would bring a fecal sample into a vet to have it analyzed to see which dewormer is required. If this isn't possible, I would treat with the most broad spectrum type you can find (Drontal Plus is a good choice). However, this still will not cover everything, which is why the analysis is truly the best way to deal with this issue.
