Kitten Bloating Please help

Hey everyone,
I'm to this forum and I'm so glad I found it. My name is Kurroi, I'm 18 years old and I moved back to my hometown the Uk from California in January. I pretty much live in a mini zoo (:
3 dogs, 2 kittens, a bunny,guinea pig,birds and fish LOL what can I say I'm an animal lover.
But down to my problem, it's to do with our newest kitten Milo he's a beautiful 7 week old black and white male kitten, I've only had him a few days, I took him from a young couple who's rottweiler was trying to literally eat him.He was this lil ball of fluff and abit on the underweight side, I took him home and gave him a bath(where I also discovered that Milo's actually a boy and not the girl I'd been told he was),he absolutely stunk of ciggarettes! After he was nice and clean I let him down in my living room as our older kitten was nowhere to be seen,the first thing he did was go over to the bowls and wolf down the food, he even was choking a little just because he was eating it so fast, I took away the dried food and left the wet food to avoid him choking. He was completely fine to me, he was happy wrestling around with our dogs and our kitten but today I noticed he's kinda bloated and this worries me because the very first kitten I owned last year started to bloat,she got bigger and bigger and the day I took her to the vet she passed away about 15 minutes before we set off so whenever my cats bloat I go into panic! I don't know if he's ever been wormed, I've looked in his poop and I don't see anything but I've sent someone to go get me worming stuff. Could he just be putting on weight? Or could something else be wrong? Could he have what my last kitten did? If he gets any bigger I'm gonna take him to the vet as I can't go through the heartache again.
Can someone shed some light on this?

Thanks for reading Kurroi x

Given his age, he's likely never been dewormed and can't have had all of his kitten vaccinations yet. (rabies isn't given till ~14wks). Just take him to the vet, he needs to be on course with regular kitten care. Plus, anytime you bring any animal into a home with other animals you must quarantine until that animal has had a vet check and is clean. Some animals (small exotics, birds, fish, and such) need even longer quarantines even with a clean vet check due to their sensitivity.

As for his belly, he probably does have worms but kittens can eat a lot of food and look rather round after each meal.

If he's been sharing a litter box with your other kitten, it too will now have to be dewormed and possibly the dogs as well - do not use OTC dewormers. I hope your other kitten has already completed its kitten vaccines..

From what i'd been told by the previous owners, he hasn't had anything however all our animals are up to date with everything they need but I'll worm our older kitten and our dogs when i de worm him. I hope it's just worms

The only way to know for sure is to take him to the vet. I'm sorry for your loss of your other kitten. The best way to prevent that from happening again is to be proactive and get the kitten in to see the vet right away, don't wait around.

He will need to be tested for diseases anyway.
