Is my kitten okay? There are no worms in her stools but they are runny and brown. There’s no vomiting. She’s eating what seems to be normally enough.

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.
