I was wondering if this is a spot to go get looked at or does it look like it’s healing fine ?
It sounds like the spot on your kitten might be an area of irritation or possibly an infection, especially since it appears red and has some crusting. This could indicate a minor skin infection or an allergic reaction. Here are a few steps you can take at home to help your kitten:
First, gently clean the area with a mild antiseptic solution or warm water to remove any debris or crusting. It's important to avoid using harsh chemicals or alcohol, as these can further irritate the skin.
Next, keep an eye on the spot for any changes in size, color, or if it starts to ooze pus. If it seems to be getting worse or if your kitten is excessively licking or scratching at it, this might require more attention.
To prevent your kitten from licking the area, which can introduce more bacteria and delay healing, you might need to use an Elizabethan collar (cone) if she is persistent.
Additionally, watch for other signs of illness such as lethargy, loss of appetite, or fever. These symptoms could indicate a more serious underlying issue.
Given that your kitten is very young and this issue has been ongoing for a couple of days, it would be wise to have her examined by a veterinarian. This will help rule out any serious conditions and ensure she receives the appropriate treatment. Young kittens can be more susceptible to infections and other health issues, so it's always better to be cautious.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
