My kitten is throwing up white foam and not playing. What should I do?

Question

Hey my dog just passed away like 4 days ago, he was throwing up white foam and blood and he had worms coming out both ends. We dewormed him but im thinking it was to late. I now have a kitten and I came home today and he is throwing up white foam as well and is not playing like normal. Anything you could tell me. I read online that it was normal for cats to do that. I'm just worried. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 3 lbs

It is very uncommon for a pet to pass away just from intestinal worms. I would like to know what kind of worms your pets are vomiting up. Typically roundworms come out of both ends, and are not significant enough to cause death in most cases. There was likely something else also going on with your pet dog and I am so sorry for your loss. Obviously you are dealing with an infectious agent that both pets have contracted and this shoudl be dealt with by your veterinarian. I suspect that both pets have both worm infestation and a possible toxin ingestion that needs to be treated for right away. Again I am so sorry for your loss and hope that you can intervene with Mister before anything tragic happens to him as well. Poor guy. : ( Best of luck to you and take care!
