My kitten threw up worms. Is my wormer paste the correct treatment?

Question

My kitten threw up worms yesterday. I believe they are round worms. I purchased an ‘all wormer’ aristopet all wormer paste, which states it treats roundworm. Is this the appropriate way to treat it? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 2 lbs

Yes - a wormer designed for roundworms is the best option. Be sure to follow all directions as regards minimum age for use (some should not be used before 9weeks etc), correct species and weight and to repeat treatment at the correct frequency. If she is vomiting frequently, a spot on medication may be more useful to ensure she does not vomit the oral treatment before it has time to work. Your vets office can advise on the most appropriate product available in your area
