Vet Visit for baby kitten
I recently got a baby kitten & I know I need to take him to the vet to get his check-up and vaccines, he's 7weeks? Does anyone know the proper age to take him or if he's still too young?

It's never too early... the sooner you get Prince checked out the better.

A seven-week-old kitten is actually kind of young to be away from its mother. They're usually weaned about 8 weeks. Did you get him from a shelter? You should take him in ASAP, if so. A lot of shelters have arrangements with vets for the first exam to be free, provided it's done within a few days of the cat going home.
We adopted two kittens a couple of years ago and they were both neutered at 8 weeks of age. I, personally, think that's kind of young, but they were fine.
So I guess the answer is take him to the vet soon. Immediately if he has any sneezing, nasal discharge, watery eyes, etc., or if he is not eating or drinking well.
Good luck and happiness for you and the new kitty.

Hes never to young to get a check up. I would say the sooner the better. As far as getting him fixed Im not sure so sure about. We got ours fixed at 6 months... but I think you can get him fixed before that.
But like I said before, its safe to take him to the vet to get his shots. Some kittens even receive diseases from their mothers, or something in their mothers milk, so taking him to the vet wouldn't be a bad idea at all.
Hope I helped
