My cat vomits long white worms; I looked it up and it seems parasitic — how to treat it? It usually won’t eat or drink, foams, and occasionally passes worms.
Long white worms are likely roundworms, common gut parasites spread via feces or food. Treat with a suitable dewormer such as pyrantel, praziquantel, or albendazole per the vet. Since the cat won't eat and foams, it may have secondary gastroenteritis needing fluids, anti-emetics, and gut repair. Deworm every 3 months and clean the environment to prevent reinfection.
My dog went out to play, came home and stopped eating, vomited the next day, only drinks water, sleeps more, and is less lively with low energy lately
Vomiting yellow fluid with no eating or drinking is usually a serious gastrointestinal disease and needs a confirmed cause before medication. For indigestion, give probiotics; for gastroenteritis with frequent vomiting, withhold food and give pet anti-inflammatory and anti-emetic plus probiotics; if no improvement, get IV fluids. Distemper or parvovirus also cause yellow vomiting and need early hospital care.
