I can assume she has hook or roundworm's. If she does it will require a few deworming treatments usually given a few weeks apart. The first treatment kills all adult worms, but doesn't kill the larvae (worm eggs) that have already been laid. The second treatment will kill these once they become little worms but kills them before they can lay eggs of their own. A third dose may not be necessary but better to be safe than sorry. Get your kitten on a flea preventive to avoid tapeworms. One swallowed flea can give your kitten this type of worm. No worries, it's all going to be just fine. So just relax and go enjoy that adorable kiiten.

Kittens 6 to 16 weeks of age should be wormed every three weeks.From 4 months onward cats and kittens should be wormed every 3 months. Every kitten or puppy is born with worms. Most shelters and rescues only worm once and then leave it up to the new owner to continue the worming. You are worrying needlessly about Ayla. Trust me, it bothers you more than her! She's going on about her business while you're heading for a stroke (lol). If you're worried about FIP or something like that, she would not be acting normally, she'd be very ill. If you are really concerned, you need to ask your vet who knows her, her diagnoses and her treatment. Call tomorrow morning and talk to the vet or one of the techs for reassurance. That's what they're there for! And give Ayla hugs and kisses for us. She's a cutie!
