Thank you for submitting your question regarding your kitten. If he is not improving, then I recommend that he has a further work up. He should have fecal testing, blood work and x-rays of his abdomen to determine the cause of his vomiting and inappetance. Kittens can react to deworming medication, but it is typically a short lived reaction. It worries me that he is still ill. There is likely another another disease process present. In the meantime, encourage him to drink so that he does not become dehydrated. I hope this information helps!

Hi and thanks for posting. I would be sure to recheck a fecal test with your veterinarian. Certain parasites and intestinal worms take several round of dewormer to completely get rid of. A follow up fecal test will be able to determine whether or not Larry has cleared the infection. I hope this helps!

You are correct that the vomiting could be due to the worms, but deworming treatments can also cause vomiting as a side effect. It's serious that he isn't eating or drinking. When a cat stop eating and drinking, it is time to see the vet as Lucky could get dehydrated quickly. I would have Lucky seen by a vet now who can treat his symptoms.

It could be from the dead worms moving through Stich's GI tract, but it could have another cause such as a GI illness. Whenever a dog is both vomiting and having diarrhea, it's time to see a vet. I'd take him into one first thing in the morning. I hope this helps.
