But today She threw up three times, one had s roundworm in it. Please tell me what I can do to help her? Does Walmart have any treatment to help? I need advice ASAP!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! She likely vomited due to the worms however there are other possible reasons. The first thing is determining the specific type of worm that is affecting her so that therapy can be recommended based on that. Walmart does not have any available safe therapy to be used for undiagnosed worms causing vomiting. I recommend you visit a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to diagnose the specific cause of the vomiting and recommend accordingly. Best of luck!
