It could be Wizzy had intestinal worms, those can be common in kittens. It will cause a swollen belly and can have negative effects on their growth. You will need to take him into the vet to confirm he does have intestinal worms, and the vet can prescribe a deworming treatment. His fur looks ok. Please take him into a vet today.
