Symptoms of worms?

As some of you already know my 10 week old kitten has had diarrheoa now for 2 weeks, despite having had antibiotics, pro kalin and trying a diet of bland chicken.
She has also been wormed - she was given Panacur liquid once a day for 3 days.
The next step is to test her stools for any parasites that could have been missed by the antibiotics.
However in the meantime I was just wondering if a) it is even possible for her to have worms after having had the Panacur treatment, and b) what the symptoms are other than the obvious?
My vet mentioned last time I went that her tummy felt a bit bloated but thought it was because she had just eaten, but is it possible it could be worms, and how would I know (no signs of it in her stools)

Ravenous appetite, weight loss despite eating well, swollen tummy or physical sightings of worms.

Have you been keeping an eye on weight?

Re: Symptoms of worms?

Yes, shes very tiny for her age, partly due to the fact that she was always the smallest of the litter, then as shes been ill for a couple of weeks she hasn't put on as much weight as she should have done.
Shes 10 weeks old and weight 700g. Over the last week she has been gaining about 20 g per day, but is still tiny for her age.
I'm getting concerned by the diarrheoa now as its been going on so long despite the chicken diet and antibiotics so am clutching at straws and wondered if worms was a possibility even after the Panacur

If she has been wormed and is putting on weight I would say it was unlikely.
