White string coming from kitten's rear end. Are these worms?

It is a pity that you did not photograph the worm. It would have helped with identification of the worm. Usually kittens have roundworms, but these are not white. It is unlikely that a kitten has tape worm at this age. I would deworm the kitty with a kitten wormer for round worms. Should your kitten have another one of these small white worms (proglottids of tape worm, looks like a bit of a rice corn or sesame seed). If you do discuss worming against tape worm with your veterinarian, since she is so young.

Worms! Roundworms or hookworms would be my guess, they look like vermicelli noodles. Tapeworms are also possible, they are flatter and often break off into small pieces. I would recommend that you have Violet examined by a vet and tested for intestinal parasites to make sure that she receives the correct medication.

That depends. Please repost with a picture of the worms in question for clarification on what these worms potentially are so that we can give you an accurate answer here. Thank you and we hope to hear back from you soon with up to 3 images of the worms in question.

I am sorry to hear about your concern for your kitties! If this worm is long and skinny compared to the tapeworm segments then it is possible it is a roundworm. Roundworms are treated with a different dewormer than tapeworms, normally with pyrantel or fenbendazole. You can get these medications over the counter but if your kitty has not visited a vet yet, it might not be a bad idea to bring them in for an exam along with a stool sample to check for other parasites that could be present and invisible to the naked eye!

Your kitty has a tapeworm infection. This is not contagious to people. Cats get tapeworm by ingesting an infected flea while grooming. Tapeworm use fleas as interim hosts and this is how they can infect cats and dogs. So you should do two things now: 1) get a cat wormer that contains praziquantel which kills tapeworm. Your vet should be able to sell you the wormer, but you can also buy it in a pet shop or over the internet. 2) Make sure you do flea prevention , either via spot on or a seresto collar or a flea spray. This should take care of the problem.

Hello, and thanks for your question. In the picture that appears to be a tapeworm segment. I recommend that you throw that in a zipoc bag and bring it to the vet with you, along with a fresh fecal sample from Bonsai. The vet can confirm that it's a tapeworm, and they will also check the stool sample to see if there are any other microscopic eggs from any other intestinal parasites such as roundworms or hookworms, which are also very common. Hope this helps! :-)

I'm sorry but without seeing the worm i am not 100% sure what you are talking about. The most common worm, and the one you probably saw, is roundworms. A meningeal worm is highly uncommon and it would not come out the anus. Meningeal worms live in the brain. The kitten is not too young for dewormer; they can start being dewormed as early as two weeks of age with a drug called Strongid (pyrantel pamoate). I suggest you call another vet clinic or go to your local VETCO clinic to have the kitten dewormed. Deworming should be done every 3-4 weeks until the kitten is 4 months old.
