Your puppy is too young for chemicals. Best case scenario is to visit the vet's office for treatment. Next is to do what you can immediately.
Use very mild baby shampoo and bath the pup in shoulder height water. Lather him up real good and use a small bowl or drinking glass to rinse the soap off later. Once the pup is lathered up real good, search for and pick off the fleas one by one until you can't find any more. After his bath dry him off real good and keep him nice and warm. Let him play and then have a little something to eat. Soon he will fall asleep and when he does hold him in your lap and search for any remaining fleas.
Now, what to do with the fleas. If you have a sheet of contact paper you can lay a sheet down and stick the fleas on it. If not, try using any kind of sticky tape. Press hard and make sure the flea isn't going anywhere. Dispose of properly. Good luck and be sure to give that puppy lots of love and attention.

It says 'no longer for domestic dogs lower than 12 weeks of age' - this isn't a shaggy dog tale message, this is a authentic caution! you could't apply it to the canines. go back the collar to the keep in case you could. Flea collars do no longer eliminate fleas. The chemical compounds in them do no longer unfold by potential of the floor, they do no longer some thing. Get a proper flea therapy from a vets, they're the only ones that artwork. For one ingredient, you received't locate ANY flea therapy in a puppy keep which will be utilized on domestic dogs lower than 12 weeks of age, and for yet another ingredient, those issues should not be used on any animal of any age, they're so worthless - and in many circumstances risky. Frontline, Revolution and so on should be utilized on your domestic dog if he weighs over 4 and a 0.5 pounds. If he's lower than this in weight, you should use the spray version of Frontline it truly is secure for 2 day previous domestic dogs. Chalice

You need to talk to a vet ASAP and stop listening to the morons on this forum that are giving you info that will kill that poor baby! You can just call a local vet and ask them what they reccomend. Puppies at this age cannot withstand most flea treatments, which is the reason you need to ask the vet if they have or know of anything to use that will not harm it.

Wash in a shampoo made for fleas. Squirt on some flea repellant and give the dog a flea collar.

You can bath your puppy in Dawn Dish Liquid and that will help with the fl es control. It won't hurt the puppy. I would do this about twice a month. This also helps with the skin and coat also. Then you can use those fles drop later. sandy_buckie

Bathe him in dawn dish soap, leave the lather on him for 10 minutes. It will kill the fleas without harming him.
Do not use flea shampoo on him, he is too young, it could kill him.

take her/him to the vet and they can give you flea treatements, and follow up with taking him/her to the groomer for flea baths.
fleas bite and drink blood, so it is critical that you take care of it right away

I would seek professional help. That is too young to expose it to any chemicals. Poor baby.
