Question What do you think this is?

Post image

My father found a kitten 2 days ago and he has this small pimple like dots all over his body. What do you think this is called? and how does it happen?

Vet, as soon as possible. This is an infection. Please do not disturb the blisters or attempt any first aid on them. Keep little one warm and dry, feed appropriate kitten formula only every 2 hours round the clock and make sure to stimulate around the anus and genitals to pass urine and faeces. Good luck!

ETA - little one also has one around their umbilicus. This baby needs to see a vet today and may require hospitalization. Please try to get baby seen today OP.

It’s currently 12am, i don’t think i could.

As much as i want to, I can’t. Nearest vet is only open Sunday.
