I had a stray drop off a litter of 3 kittens. (The stray comes by
every couple of days crying for the litter then disappears again.) I
have found homes for 1, and have someone coming to see a second kitten
tonight. It's the third kitten I am concerned about.

Male, doemstic short hair, about 3 months old.
About a month ago I noticed the right side of his check had no hair
and a rather deep gash. I used topical wound ointment and hydroxide to
keep the wound clean. It's healed, I think. Something has forned over
the area. It doesn't quite seem like a scab.

2 weeks ago I noticed a bumpabout the size of a jelly bean on the left
side of the kitten's neck. The jump has become more pronounced. I'm
afraid this might be how the right side of his cheek started.

Lastly, all his bow movements are extremely runny and yellow.

Anyone have any idea what might be going on?

Thanks for your comments!

Sounds like an infection Dave    the kitten probably needs antibiotics  a
vet trip is necessary
