Yeah, it's pretty scary to see too, a big pile of worms in a pool of pink tinged vomit, seen it a few times... and makes me gag every time... I can assist in surgery, but roundworms make me sick! One site sums it up when it says "nothing seems to inspire as much dread and loathing as a pile of roundworms left by the infected cat", another site says "roundworms usually result in a panicked call to the veterinarian", LOL! I have a lump in my throat just talking about it now! GAK, blah, GAG! http://www.sniksnak.com/cathealth/roundworms.html http://www.dr-dan.com/roundwor.htm http://www.pets.ca/encyclopedia/roundworm_cat.htm My own horrifying experience tells me the pink tinged vomit thing... the sites don't mention it, but EVERY time I've had roundworms in a cat, the vomit has been pink tinged. http://www.beaglesunlimited.com/Photos/CanineRoundworms.jpg (and yes, they ARE zoonotic, GAK, GAG!)
