Cats are often infected with roundworms. Hookworm and roundworm infection may lead to a distended belly, and can result in poor growth, vomiting, diarrhea and chronic intestinal diseases.

Choosing the right veterinarian is an important first step when you bring your new kitten home. Ask your breeder or friends to recommend the vet that's right for you and your new companion.

Every kitten needs a vet. The greatest supporter of your kitten’s health is her veterinarian, so make sure you’ve registered with a clinic.
