Question
I have found a stray cat and started feeding her and all of a sudden she threw up brown stuff and a big white noodle that was moving eck i put her back outside i suppose its a worm oh the poor thing. nut we get it to i was just trying to be nice to her and fatten her up i cant afford to take her to vet, is there somthing i can buy and will she be contataios to my grandkids? thank you

Answer
Hi Dottie,
She has roundworms.  You can buy over the counter medication in the pet section of Walmart, or at a Petsmart. Just read the directions.
If your grandkids put feces in their mouth, they can catch them, but that is the only way.
God Bless,
Becky

Expertise

I am not a breeder,so please direct any breeding and/or birthing questions to an "expert" that is. I love all cats but my favorites are the Rex and Siamese. I used to show Cornish Rex as a hobby but have not been able to for a few years. Right now I have three Siamese and one Cornish Rex. As a former veterinarian assistant, I can help you with general healthcare issues. Being a cat owner for years, I will be glad to answer any behaviour and/or nutrition questions too. Please remember, I am NOT a Veterinarian, so if your kitty is seriously ill, please do not hesitate to contact a Vet.
