he most likely has worms...they get bloated, gassy, and poop alot. But kittens tend to do that anyways, poop alot i mean. But bring your vet a sample of your kittens stool and they can determine if it is in fact worms or not. The most common are roundworms, coccidia, and tape worms. Coccidia is not a worm however but a parasite. The vet can give you some medication if your kitten does have worms. Goodluck! if you have any other questions feel free to email me.

Take the kitten to the vet and have him checked. Kittens and puppies are notorious for being wormy. Not a big problem unless left unchecked.Glad you quit the milk.

Purina Kitten Chow has lot's of fillers in it that can cause that, also just a change in the brand of food can do it. I have 5 cats and I feed them IAM's lamb formula I believe they have a kitten formula also

Time to take the kitten to the vet to check on it. Kittens and Puppies have small digestive systems, so they go more frequently.

yeah thats weird. Dont take him to the vet rite away..wait a couple of days and see if there are any changes. If not, take it to the vet with purina chow and a sample of its poop.

The food you are using is fine. Has he been wormed???? If not you need to do that right away. That should help. How old is the kitten? You can reach me at mfroeh@yahoo.com if I can help
