Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed
My kitten has roundworms. She was given a cerenia injection a Nemex/strongid t-dispensed and A/D canine/feline can . I was told she would poop the roundworms and I'd see them in the litter. She isnt eating alot and drinks water. She is urinating and pooping but I haven't seen any in her feces. But I guess she is still feeling nauseous because as I was taking her to the litter and she threw up everywhere in it and I seen some again. Is it normal for her 2 throw them up not poop them out?

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!

It sounds like poor Piggy is sick, and it could be due to the worms, a GI illness, eating something rotten, or a foreign body. When a kitten is vomiting a lot, is dehydrated, and feels like it has a fever, this is a medical emergency that requires immediate vet care. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck.
