Some cats can experience some diarrhea after a worming treatment. However, from what you are describing it sounds like Precious is having a particularly bad reaction to her worming treatment. I would advise contacting the veterinarian who prescribed it, and discussing the issue. They may want to see Precious in for fluid therapy or for monitoring. In the meantime you can try the following at home; Rest her gastrointestinal tract for 6 hours A bland diet of boiled boneless chicken breast Low sodium chicken broth for hydration Here is an article to further advise you; https://www.petcoach.co/article/6-things-you-can-do-at-home-if-your-pet-has-diarrhea/
