Are kittens sick after worm tablet?

Answer 1

Yes cats vomit usually from eating something bad or from accidentally swallowing hair. it may sound nasty but its usually foamy and thick, it can be dry too. sometimes they can have a cold or be dehydrated.

Answer improvement: The possibilities of why a cat may be vomiting is endless. First is to determine if it is actually vomit or regurge. Cats will regurge hair balls which are bundles of hair that have accumulated in the stomach that the cat has swallowed while grooming.

Here is a short list of possibilities (which is why your vet will want to run diagnostic tests) and is not inclusive: Inflammatory Bowel Disease, cardiomyopathy, heart worms, renal disease, intestinal parasites, gastric parasites, over eating, dietary indiscretion, hyperthyroidism, constipation, Diabetes mellitus, liver disease, intestinal foreign body, gastric tumor, lymphosarcoma..... the list goes on, this is just what has popped in my head.

Answer 2

It depends on how old the kitten is, usually you want to de-worm a kitten (I'm assuming you are talking about tape worm, round worm, etc) about 6 weeks and above. Below 6 weeks and the tablets might do more harm than good. Remember these tablets are POISONOUS because poison is needed to kill the worms. However, in older kittens, this poison is easily resisted. So if your kittens are sick after you gave them the tablets it might be because of the tablets. Keep in mind that this sickness might not a result of administering the tablets. They could have Allergies, a cold, or something like that. Make sure to take them to a local veterinarian clinic if you feel that their sickness is serious.
