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?

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

Well, I think the safest plan would be to have him seen by your veterinarian. My concern with would be if he is vomiting then he may have an obstruction from a large mass of worms. My other concern would be that if he is vomiting he may not hold down the medication to clear the parasites. I would also recommend you take one of the worms with you to the veterinarian to determine what type of worm it is so they can prescribe the most effective treatment. Best of luck and I hope he improves soon.
