Which medication did they use?  My vet used Strongid (pronounced Stronj-id I think).  Some on this list told me of others.  The Strongid workedo on Calawalla. I did a Google search for feline roundworms to get more info.

Holistically, there are some herbs I've read about - Wormwood being one.  However, there's some caution to be used with it, so I didn't use it.  My homeopathic vet said just use the Strongid.

Hi everyone,

Does anyone have any advice for how to get rid of roundworms? My cat Chloe has been dewormed twice, but it seems to do nothing for her. Yesterday she vomited up half a dozen of the gross things. I made an appointment with my new vet - they insist on seeing her before they deworm her. I'm fine with that, but they also want to charge me $30 to "deworm" her! $30!! My old vet used to charge $8 for some pills. The receptionist on the phone couldn't really tell me what the difference was. Any ideas? And can't these roundworms build up an immunity to these drugs I keep using? They're not effective, so something must be going on.

I'm looking into holistic alternatives, so if anyone has any advice about that, that would be great.

Thanks,

Vikki
