My male cat has a bloated stomach. Is it worms or something serious?

My male cat has bloated sides, what is wrong with him? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | unneutered | 5 months and 11 days old

Hello. Is this a recent development? Is he having any difficulties breathing? If so, he needs to see a veterinarian immediately. Otherwise, the most common reason for bloating in a young cat is intestinal parasites, especially roundworms. You can purchase a general kitten wormer & deworm Astro yourself, or have him evaluated by your veterinarian at your earliest convenience to make sure he is receiving the proper treatment.
