We are trying to house train Aurora and she was in her kennel and you guessed it, she pooped. We went to clean it out and we found what looked like a thick piece of spaghetti in her stool. We took her outside to clean her cage and she began to vomit, only a little, but still, its vomiting. Upon closer inspection of the 'spaghetti' and doing a little digging online, we guess it to be roundworm. Aurora has been with us for only one week so we know this didn't happen with us and if she's passing it in her stool then she must have a BIG infestation.

We are going to call the vet ASAP in the morning (the moment they walk though the door, their phone will ring) to get her checked out and get treatment.

The online info we found did say that roundworm is transmittable to people. How at risk are we? We have been washing our hands all the time, especially after play time when we are touching her toys and she's play biting us. Is there any risk of us getting these worms by any of these activities?
