Hi there. I have a 3 week old male kitten who has a very saggy belly. It looks as if his skin is sagging, almost to the floor. He is acting fine, playing, eating, no vomiting or diarrhea. I've looked on the interned but no luck. Any help is greatly appreciated!

This is not normal, get him checked by your vet ASAP and no later. Your kitten could be suffering from malnutrition, dehydration, or a serious organ failure. Kittens as young as 3 weeks old should have round, full bellies and no sagging skin.

Do NOT wait on this, get him to your vet promptly for a full exam and ask for a fecal to rule out worms.
