Intestinal parasites are just one potential cause for her swollen belly. Ideally, she should be physically examined by your veterinarian to diagnose and treat the underlying cause. Submit a stool sample to diagnose intestinal parasites. Your veterinarian will likely recommend or administer a broad spectrum dewormer anyway given Smoker's age. Deworming should be repeated every two weeks for 3 or 4 treatments. Afterwards, she can be placed on a monthly preventive, especially if she will be an outdoor cat.
