Kitten still has diarrhea & gas after roundworm dewormer. What now?

Question

Hello, so my kitten (10 weeks) has roundworms. His stomach has been rounder and more bloated than normal. Occurring twice in four days, his feces contained a few long, white colored worms and from research, it seemed evident that he specifically has roundworms. For treatment, I bought Excel Roundworms Dewormer and it has been a week since he took it. I know they're not immediate results, but he farts more often and they're very smelly and still has diarrhea. What should I do? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 15 days old | 2.5 lbs

If the diarrhea has been going on for longer than three days, then it's best to get it treated by a veterinarian. Roundworms are a possible cause of diarrhea, but not as likely as some other parasites and bacteria. The fact that Louis has had more gas indicates an infection besides roundworms. The vet will be able to help identify the cause and give effective treatment. I hope that helps and Louis gets better soon.
