My kitten is not gaining weight despite eating well. Should I worry?

[]

Answer

Slow weight gain in kittens, even with good appetite, can be a concern. It could be due to internal parasites, an underlying illness, or possibly an inadequate diet for its growth needs. It's important to have your kitten seen by a vet to rule out medical issues such as malabsorption or persistent infections. They can also advise on appropriate high-calorie, nutrient-dense kitten food to ensure proper development. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
