I am attaching a handout below with more information about gas in dogs and cats that will have more information for you. https://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=2856 I see from your information that Bella is a kitten. I would recommend avoiding giving her milk if you are doing that because that is a common cause of gas in kittens. If you are feeding dry food only and she eats quickly, you could consider changing to or adding some canned food to her diet. You can also consider changing brands of food. If you do any food changes, make sure to change slowly to prevent any GI upset such as loose stool. And finally, make sure that your veterinarian has checked a stool sample on Bella to make sure that everything is normal. Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using PetCoach.
