Even though you may not be able to see the worms, it's still quite possible they are there. Unfortunately I feel the kitten should be seen by a vet. Have you tried calling around to get prices? I'd call your local spca and see if they have clinics or can name any low cost vets nearby. Can you borrow money from family? Please find a way to have her checked. Kittens can go down hill very fast.

Having a pet means you have to be able to get them to a vet if need be. All kittens need to be vet checked any way. Also she'll need to be spayed when she's a bit older. Vaccinated too.

I hope you can get her looked at. Keep us posted.

Katlover is right on all counts. Also make sure your  cat food is formulated for kittens.

Unfortunatly I woke up this morning and she had passed ive been taking it very hard I woke up early to call around n possibly take her to our humane society bc they will take care of 1 cat per house hold but when I got up 2 hrs later she had already passed I just dont know how it happened so fast she was fine during the day her stomach was not bloated but I was gone that night for about 6 hrs n when I came hm her stomach was huge what could have caused this to happen so fast?

OMG, I am so sorry
  I have no idea what it might have been, but suspect she got into something around the house that she shouldn't have...maybe some sort of poisen?  (I really don't know, just guessing) 

Again, I am so sorry for your loss

I am so sorry for your loss... Where did you get the kitten from? I had a puppy when I was little and it had parvo and I remember it had a swollen belly and was very inactive before he died. If your kitty was outdoors at all before you got her she could have gotten it from the ground...

I am so sorry, I've lost cats in the past and it's heart breaking... I read that feline parvo can take cats out really fast... If you need someone to talk to I'm here:hugs:
