My 4-week old foster kitten is very bloated. When I picked him up from the shelter, they told me he had been bloated for about a week and was being given simethicone 2x/day. He was supposed to take the simethicone until august 20th, but the prescription bottle they gave me only had enough for one dose in it so I ran out the same day I got him (august 16th)! I called the shelter because the bloating seems to be getting worse, so they had me bring him in. The vet examined him but didn't seem concerned. They said he doesn't need the simethicone anymore and gave me a few packets of probiotics to give him instead.
I'm still worried though... his poor belly is so big and hard. He eats well, is acting fine, and weighs just over 400 grams. I think he might be slightly constipated. He pooped a few times yesterday, but it always seemed like he wasn't done and just couldn't get the rest out. No poop yet today. Should I be concerned about the bloating? I don't know if the vet did a fecal test because I forgot to ask, and I've been trying to call them and no one will answer my questions! What should I do?
