This group of fosters has had one issue after another! Thanks for all of the help.
I think my little boy kitten is attempting to suckle from the little girl kitten's "area." It's very red and inflamed. I've heard of this happening with orphans, but not kittens with a momma. They're about 27 days old with no interest in weaning yet. Is there something I can put on the little girl, like Neosporin or Vaseline, that won't affect mom when she's cleaning or stimulating her?
Also, if he's doing this, is he not getting enough milk?
