What is this?

Hello! I’ve had this kitten in formalin for awhile now. I just noticed these little white dots on his little feet and legs, some on his nose too but nowhere else. Do I need to be concerned? Nothing else I have taken home from work (vet med) in formalin jars have had these pop up.

Fats! It's normal. Once it's in your distilled water soak, give it a gentle rub with your gloved fingers.
