Finding a live roundworm in your cat's vomit is concerning but not immediately life-threatening. It strongly indicates a significant parasitic burden. While not directly an emergency for the cat's immediate survival, it is important to address promptly to prevent further health issues for your pet and potential transmission to humans. Roundworms can cause gastrointestinal upset, poor coat quality, and in severe cases, intestinal blockages. Please contact your veterinarian to get an appropriate deworming protocol. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance on parasite control and prevention in your pet and home environment.
