My 3-month-old kitten has a small hard bump on her head. Should I worry?

Question

my 3 month old kitten has a very small but hard bump right on the top of her head between her ears, dead centre. she's very active and bumps her head a lot, so we figured it may just be a bump from hitting her head but it seems too small. it's almost like a pimple but there's nothing visible on the skin, just a bump. it appeared out of no where, she was normal a few hours before being left home alone. i have a dog and another cat, could they have hurt her? should i be concerned?

Without being able to examine Willow, it is hard to say what it is or if you should be worried about it. In a young kitten, trauma would be the most likely. However, a small bump could also indicate infection or even a small tumor. I would continue to observe Willow for a day or two. If the bump goes away, then I wouldn't be worried, but if it is still there, growing, or she is developing other symptoms, then she should be examined by a veterinarian.
