Hello,
I have a new kitten who is deaf. He went to the vet yesterday for his second vaccination and microchip, the vet commented that he was very fat in his stomach but he had just had breakfast before going there. She gave him a worming tablet anyway and said he was in good health. I've been checking the litterbox for worms and can't see any.
This morning he is still really fat, I hadn't noticed it before as he has long fur so it kind of disguised him, but his belly is giant! And this was before his breakfast. Is it just possible for him to be fat from overeating at this age? (12 weeks) he has 3 meals a day of applaws wet food mixed with applaws biscuits, and finishes the portion. He runs around like a maniac all day with my other cats so gets plenty of exercise and I play with toys with him
He is 1.6kg atm but is a Maine coon x ragdoll so will be pretty big I suppose. Since the vet said he's fine yesterday then is it possible that he's just super fat? Or still could have worms even after the tablet and pooing a few times? Should I put him on a diet? I'm a bit paranoid now! Thanks for any advice
