My cat vomited a roundworm. Should I use Panacur? How often to deworm?

Question

Hello my 8yr old moggie has been quite sick this morning, I'm pretty sure there was a round worm in the vomit. She also brought up bike (yellow) I worm her regularly as she does go outdoors. Does worms in vomit indicate a bigger problem? Shall I treat monthly? I've just purchased the granules-panacur, would you suggest different ? Many thanks Jo.

Hi Jo! I'm sorry Billie is quite sick! If she is vomiting worms, it sounds like she has a heavy burden of them, and I would give her a dose of Panacur now. I highly recommend Panacur, it's a great deworming treatment. I would give her another dose in two weeks, then deworm her after another month, then every three months from there. Make sure all the pets in your home are up to date on their deworming treatments as well, as they can pass them back and forth between each other.
