Hi, and thanks for your question. These signs could be compatible with an inflammation infection of the gastrointestinal system and surrounding organs (like pancreas and liver). Parasite infestation in the gastrointestinal system is definitively possible. A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics and possibly further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) may be needed.

Extremely large intestinal parasite burdens can cause the symptoms you have described. Passing dead worms means there are a whole bunch more where they came from! I would recommend discussing deworming and blood testing with your vet. Some of the parasites can cause anemia and low protein levels, which will allow fluid to leak out of the blood vessels and into the abdomen. Deworming should be done carefully, as sudden death of large numbers of worms in sick patients can cause obstruction or other life-threatening issues.

My kitten has tapeworms but she hasn't been eating or drinking and she's throwing up white foam, she sleeps and never wants to play anymore I'm starting to get worried
Tapeworms don't typically cause major illness in cats and I would be concerned that Tiana has something more serious going on. Other types of intestinal parasites, infectious diseases or even ingestion of a foreign object resulting in an intestinal blockage would be more likely to cause these signs. I would recommend having Tiana examined by your veterinarian. They might recommend checking a stool sample or x-rays depending on what they find on exam. Hope she's feeling better soon!
