Well after talking to a vet and some other people. We figured that its a patch that the kittens kneed when they nurse. So i put neosporin on it to help it heal. Part of it had allready scabbed over. It could also have been caused by the hair on her tummy being pulled out. As long as it dosent look infected they said i dont need to worry

I am so glad it was nothing, not to mention, I learned that neosporin can be used with nursing kittens.
You can't beat good free advice. It is great that you checked with the vet, and all is good.

You'll have to watch very closely for mastitis though, as when there is an open wound it leaves it open to infection. Neosproin should help prevent that, but I'd still keep a close watch just in case.
