Depends on what sort of parasite has been found. There are far more than just one internal parasite that can affect cattle, and thus more symptoms from the affliction of such parasites.

What is most likely to happen when a a parasite host dies?
One of 2 things:it dies with the hostit must find a new hostSome parasites actually do this deliberately, they make their host do something to get itself eaten by their next host. When the old host is eaten it dies, but the parasite is now where it needs to be to infect its next host. One example are lancet flukes that parasitize ants, cattle, and snails. When the parasites are ready to move from the ant to cattle, every evening the parasites make the infected ant leave the anthill and climb to the top of a blade of grass; if grazing cattle in the night eat that blade of grass, the ant dies but the parasites have found their next host; if the ant has not been eaten by the morning and it remained on the blade of grass it would be baked in the sun and both the ant and the parasites would die before any cattle could eat them, so the parasites make the infected ant climb down and return to its normal life in the anthill. Once in cattle the parasites mature and lay eggs, which are excreted in manure, snails eat the manure and the eggs hatch in the snails, the newborn parasites are excreted in the snail's slime, which is eaten by ants.

What do lung worms do to cattle?
Lung worms cause respiratory problems in cattle that give them similar symptoms as if they would have a bacterial or viral pneumonia, except that they are parasites in the lung. A cow can die from having lungworms if there are too many in the lungs. An internal parasiticide is given to cattle to get rid of these worms.

When is the best time to deworm cattle?
The best time to deworm cattle is typically in the spring or fall when parasites are most active. It's important to consult with a veterinarian to determine the specific timing and type of dewormer needed based on the age of the cattle, the type of parasites present, and environmental conditions. Regular fecal testing can also help determine the need for deworming.
