One of my kittens has gotten bumps all over him. They aren’t red or scabby and I don’t really notice him being uncomfortable. Now he’s only a week old so still in the pet rock stage. Can anyone tell me what it might be?

@Misty0414 It's not uncommon for babies to have lumpy skin like that. I've seen it multiple times. First time it happened my vet recommended rinsing the baby with dilute chlorhexadine but honestly I've seen it enough times since that I don't think it's a problem at all and it clears up on its own.
Congrats on the babies & happy mom!

I absolutely appreciate the responses. I’ve been a nervous wreck. Thank you for your help.

I just personally feel like olive oil soaked into the skin better, but that’s just my preference.
