The first day I weighed the XCY-3 kindle, I examined each kit as I usually do: ears, eyes, nose, mouth, legs, paws, genitals, and so on. I saw nothing out of the ordinary. The very next day, however.... XCY2, the largest of the kindle, had an obvious abscess. I looked back at the weighing day pictures and could see a little possible swelling, or maybe I just thought I should.  It could have been an insect bite or sting or just irritation from who knows what. I was going to open it up the next day, but I found the abscess had opened on its own and she had white drainage on areas of her face so I wiped her down with a free and clear baby wipe and took a good look at the nose.

She even allowed me to touch and feel around, so it is not too sensitive to touch, which makes me wonder if it is broken or was caught and twisted I can only wait and see how looks once the swelling is completely gone. ...
