My kitten has fleas, worms, vomiting, and diarrhea. What's wrong?

Question

My almost 5 month old cat is having diharrea and is vomitting what looks like foam or spit? And she has a lot of fleas and tape worms and round worms. She's not eating her food and she hasn't been herself lately! She got a shot for nausea and it seems to be working and they put something on her for the worms and they didn't have the flea medicine yet. She has a lot of fleas I'm really scared, do you think this is because of fleas or the worms or what? Please help me!! Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Female | unspayed | 3.15 lbs

The fleas and constant itching can be contributing to the vomiting. I would use a flea comb dipped in soapy water to comb the fleas off her several times a day. This will catch the fleas on her and kill them in the soapy water. You will also remove the lose fur which may be causing her to have hairballs which she is trying to vomit up. Please do get a flea prevention product as soon as you can. When she's treated for the intestinal parasites and fleas she should feel better. In the meantime give her warm we food to encourage her to eat and drink. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Junebug.
