As far as I'm concerned any pitbull can have what he likes. I'm not going to argue.

i have a full blooded pit (2 yrs), 3 boxer pit puppies (well, just turned 1 year), and a 3 week old boxer pit puppy... they all have been treated for fleas... not the new puppy... but there are still fleas outside. especially the eye area as they begin to open them and have the moisture there, the fleas will be drawn there. You can get some skin so soft, or baby shampoo and warm water and bathe the puppy... it will get them off (use small comb as well)... but will not prevent them from coming back. just dont keep the puppy away from mom too long or she will no longer care for it

VET. NOW. And please, don't breed her again. You need to get a proper education on dog genetics, whelping and post-natal care before you can safely breed dogs. Backyard bred dogs often end up in shelters, particularly pit bulls. On any given day, the animal shelters in my area will have dozens upon dozens of pits up for adoption, and many end up being put down. On top of that, pits that are improperly bred are more likely to be abused and more likely to become aggressive, both of which make the problem even worse. There is a HUGE chance that some of those pups will be bought by someone who will use them for either puppymilling or dog fighting, unless you're willing to take the time to search for a good home for them, which can sometimes take YEARS. You should have had them checked out by a vet right after they were born, given that you're obviously not an expert in dog whelping.

yes there is a possible chance because if the mother has fleas or if there is fleas around your house they can possible get in the bedding of where the mom dog gets ready to have the puppies just take them to the vet and they can treat it right away it wont kill them but if they do get alot more than they expect then it could possible eat them alive just get it checked before it gets way to bad

Yes, and check with the vet before treating mom or the pups with any meds/shampoos. Also, I'd contact a vet anyway, they can very quickly become overrun with fleas, which can cause anemia amongst other things which will kill the puppy.

Yes as long as there is fleas around they can have them, but you should try to keep the pup flea free, because you don't want them to get real sick from a bite. Fleas do transmit disease. Take him to the vet ASAP, don't treat him with store bought stuff.

Yes and you want to nip this in the bud as fast as you can. The pups will lose a lot of blood from this, mom will be hurting too. I'd get rid of all the bedding. Give mom a bath, check for safe to use flea powders, etc. If all else fails, pick them off--and get rid of them.

They wont be born with fleas but if the area that they are born into is infested with fleas the fleas won't care if it's a itty bitty puppy or not!

Yep. And avoid over the counter flea remedies. These can be very bad for pups. See your vet for how to deal with this.
