getting rid of fleas?

Question

i have a 5 or 6 week old kitten with fleas.any ideas how to get rid of them?

Answer 1

Yeah take to vets to get advantage and buy tub of indorrex to spray house.

Don't buy shop products for a kitten.

Indorex is about £13 for big tin and advantage is approx £15 for 4 months worth.

Free consultations at ur vets for fleas.

There are two different Advantage to choose from, when treating your cat or kitten for fleas. You need to know the weight of your cat so that you can purchase the correct product for your pet.

Advantage flea control for Small Cats - If your cat or kitten weighs less than 9 pounds, you need Advantage for Small Cats. Each pack contains four individual tubes. Use one tube per cat each month.

Advantage for cats Stops Fleas From Biting In 3-5 Minutes, Kills 98-100 Percent Of Fleas Within 12 Hours Of Application, Kills Re-infesting Fleas Within Two Hours And Lasts Up To A Month
good luck

Answer 2

Give them baths in mild soap to drown the fleas. Use a flea comb. Vacuum your house frequently and wash bedding in hot water. As soon as they are old enough (typically 8 weeks) start using Advantage or Frontline Plus.

Answer 3

Advantage for Kittens.... also guards against worms. Call your vet; your kitten may be too young for this product, but they will offer a solution. That is a very young kitten to be seaparated from Mama Cat.

Answer 4

When they're that young you may need to just wash with baby shampoo. Go to your pet store and find a monthly flea treatment, i think you may be able to use as young as 6 weeks. Just read the label

Answer 5

Obviously, you can't use the normal flea treatments on such a young kitty.
You can wash him in Dawn dishwashing detergent.
But it does no good just to treat the animal. You need to treat your house as well...

Better to call your vet, little ones can die from flea products.
