My Kitten's have flea's?

Question

They cannot use flea killing formula's

Answer 1

well your kitten would have to be a year old before you could use any kind of flea bath or treatment I had 3 orphan kittens that were only 4 days old . I used warm water not to warm and kitten bath soap you can find this at petsmart or another local petstore and I took tweezers and plucked them off one by one and then rinsed them off and dryed them. I had to do that for about a month till they were gone because the fleas lay eggs and you can't get those off till after they hatch. When you pluck them off make sure you have a cup off soapy water near by to put them in the fleas will drown when you do this. Also you will need to treat the surrounding areas carpet, curtains, rugs, couch anything that they can hatch there eggs in I used a flea spray that you can buy at homedepot or lowes called the "enforcer" flea and tick spray it sterilizes the fleas you will have to treat again when the other eggs hatch and it is safe to use around pets.

It depends on the age of your kitten. Under four weeks of age there is very little that you can do. Call your vet. For kittens around 6 weeks of age, Revolution, which you need to get from a vet is the safest thing to use. Also, after 8 weeks, frontline and advantage work very well. Make sure to get the flea medication from your vet, as many of the over the counter flea products are very very unsafe (the dosages are often much too high and frequently cause seizures in cats... not always, but at the vet clinic i worked at we did see this occur occasionally, particularly in kittens).

Answer 3

If your kittens are at least 6 weeks old, preferrably 8 weeks, you can dilute pert plus shampoo and use it sparingly on them. Start at the head, since the fleas will run from the shampoo. MAKE SURE YOU RINSE IT ALL OUT, or they can get chemical burns. You need to treat your house to kill any eggs. larva, and pupa in the environment, and use a flea comb on them several times a day to start removing the fleas. There are flea products available at vet clinics for kittens at least 6 weeks old.

Answer 5

If they're old enough to have a bath. Bathe them thoroughly, with a couple of drops of Dawn dish washing liquid in the water. Just a couple of drops will do the trick. If they're not old enough for a both, take them to the vet.

Answer 6

Call the vet... they do make advantage and frontline for cats weighing less than 8 pounds. Avoid buying cheap stuff from the pet store that comes in the tube and works like advantage. Our vet warned us that they've had cats die from owners using that stuff on them.

Answer 7
