Is he full of parasites? :(

[plizHelpme123]

Hello, one boy got me this, outside kitten, its from farm it's probably like month or so old (I don't know)

And I'm not sure if it has some parasites or other problems, he is VERY playful and runs around a lot, likes to bite too

he also has light/pale pink gums and dark poop , he eats little. I'm not sure

is this potbelly what you think?

a swollen belly, yes he probably has parasites. But very playful, active, and lots of biting is normal. Billy does that to excess

Ah, thank you, is there any way to get rid of it by medicine?

Yes, but I would recommend talking with a vet first because of his apparent age to find the safest approach

If he is running and playing he is at least 6 weeks, prob 8.

Old enough to have an all round dewormer.

Safest if a vet recommends.

Unless you can get Milbomax, these are mild and prescriptionsfree.

Please see a vet if possible. Fenbendazole or Droncit are excellent dewormers. He is also a growing kitten, so they eat a lot and sometimes have a big belly after eating but do not have parasites or worms.

Please keep us posted!
