Flea bath for a 1 month old kitten?

Question

I have a kitten that's a month old, and she has fleas. I know you cannot flea treat them this young.

My question is, what kind of soap would be mild enough to give her a bath in, so I can comb out her fleas with a flea comb.

Answer 1

This may sound weird, but use antibacterial dawn dish washing detergent on her.  Trust me, it works and it will not hurt the kitten as long as you rinse it out well and she doesn't l**k it.  I recently rescued a kitten that was about a month old and she almost died from the flea infestation she came to me with.  The Dawn did the trick.  It may take a couple baths over the course of two or three days.

Answer 2

my sister and i had two female kittens they were sisters one had fleas we bath her in ivory bath soap it helped the fleas dies instantly ivory is good cause its mild and wont irritate the skin under the fur hope this helps

Answer 3

Dawn or Palmolive  liquid soap will work. I'm not sure about the foaming kind. Make sure to keep it out of their eyes and use only enough to work up a slight lather.

Answer 4

I had a kitten with Fleas, I took her to the vets and gave me some Frontline spray cost about £25 but I have just checked the label and it can be used on kittens from 2days of age!  

Answer 5

Use Dawn!  It's really the best and vet recommended.

Good Luck!

Answer 6

Why bother bathing and risking a chill or allergic reaction, try this...

I did it for about 10 years when I had indoor outdoor kitties, now only indoor, so no need any more but it was a life savor!!

How I got rid of fleas and bugs from my home

You will need to purchase a simple bug/fly zapper; the type you use on a patio to kill flying insects.  You can buy a small one that will cover a large area of your house at most home improvement stores for as little as 20.00-30.00 dollars.  For faster results you can use one bug zapper for each room.  However the fleas do gravitate to the bug zapper’s light once night sets in and all the lights in your house are out. So one should work for a small home, just make sure to place it in the room where the most fleas are seen or felt.   Place the zapper on the floor in a corner behind a piece of furniture so kids and pets won’t play with or bother it. Set it on a plate or pie tin for easy cleaning up of the zapped bugs, you will be killing all bugs in your home as well, and then plug it in.  Remember, it is a piece of electrical equipment.  You have to use caution in where you put it. At night the fleas automatically want to go to a light, when they hop in to the bug zapper light they get fried! You can actually hear little, zits, zits when the fleas are getting zapped! All GONE! Keep the carpet vacuumed daily until your flea problem is under control, this will help tremendously in getting the fleas eggs out of your home and carpet faster!!  I am not responsible for misuse of the above item.  Use full caution in placing your bug zapper to the safest place.  It will work for months, even years; it will continue to kill bugs in your home as long as the light is on.  The bulb can be replaced once it burns out.  The light bulb can be purchased at most home improvement stores. http://www.samstores.com/_images/product...
