What to do if your cat vomits a white long worm

Your cat vomiting a white long worm indicates a relatively high amount of parasites in its body. It is recommended that the owner take the cat to a pet hospital promptly for a fecal examination to determine the type of parasite. Then, based on the results, administer corresponding deworming medication to the cat.

If the cat's vomiting is severe, it is advised to use injectable or droplet deworming medication, as oral deworming medication may cause stomach and intestinal irritation, exacerbating the vomiting effect, and may even be vomited out, rendering it ineffective.

1. The first thing the owner should do when the cat vomits a white long worm is to take a picture of the worm, then immediately take the cat to a pet hospital for a fecal examination and show the doctor the picture to determine the type of parasite. Based on the results, conduct targeted deworming for the cat, which is most commonly tapeworm and roundworm.

2. If it is confirmed that the cat is infected with roundworm, oral medication containing ingredients such as levamisole,fenbendazole, albendazole, furazolidine, mebendazole, thiabendazole, and piperazine can be given under the guidance of a professional veterinarian.

3. If it is confirmed that the cat is infected with tapeworm, deworming medication containing pyrimethrin, albendazole, and other ingredients can be used to clear the parasite. It is recommended to administer the medication under the guidance of a pet doctor to avoid overdose.

4. Deworming the cat will disrupt the cat's intestinal flora, so the owner needs to use probiotics to regulate the balance of the cat's gastrointestinal flora.

5. After removing parasites from the cat, the owner still needs to pay attention to regularly deworming the cat to prevent infection. Generally, the cat should be dewormed internally every three months and externally every month. Additionally, the cat's living environment should be disinfected weekly and kept clean and dry.
