ya i asked that and the vet said i wouldnt need a followup treatment...but im gonna ask again. i still havent seen any worms so maybe he had a very small case considering i already dewormed him a few weeks ago...i did however try out the puking thing...i thought maybe it was caused by worms so i tried to feed him half his meal all at once this morning and he still threw up. So ill go ahead and get the barium study done tomorrow anyway. Most of the things i found online say dewormers usually kick in about 24 hours after ingestion and about a day or so later they shed dead worms but again..ive seen nothing since that ONE day..and his poo seems normal now. i took a picture of the vomit, and i put a tuff of his lost hair in a baggie so i can show the vet both of those in case that helps..and of course i have the log of his feeding for the last few weeks

wish us luck tomorrow! hope its nothing serious!
