Hello there! I recently adopted a rescued kitten about 12 weeks old now. He had a very big pot belly. The rescuer dewormed him three times but the belly stays the same. My vet dewormed him seven times now. On many occasions, we find large white worms in this stool. My vet did an ultrasound and found fluid in his abdomen. He prescribed diuretic medication for two weeks now but no improvement. He said worms can cause fluid in the intestines when they travel. Can worms really cause fluid in his abdomen? My vet ruled out FIP since the blood chemistry shows normal in all levels including liver and kidney function. My kitten doesn’t show any lethargy. He is active and eating well. But has a very large belly. Any insights?
