Can kittens get worms from mom?

Yes, kittens can get worms from their mothers. This can happen while they are still in the womb, or after they are born, through contact with their mother's feces. The most common type of worm that kittens get from their mothers are roundworms, which are long, thin worms that can live in the kitten's intestines. Other types of worms that kittens can get include hookworms, tapeworms, and whipworms.

Worms can cause a variety of health problems in kittens, including:

* Diarrhea

* Vomiting

* Weight loss

* Anemia

* Malnutrition

* Stunting

In severe cases, worms can even cause death.

If you think your kitten may have worms, it is important to take them to the vet for a diagnosis and treatment. The vet will be able to prescribe a medication that will kill the worms. It is also important to keep your kitten's environment clean and free of feces, as this will help to prevent them from getting reinfected.
