Answer 2

Do take him to the vet, then the vet can also look him over and advise you about food, vaccinations and everything else he needs.  

Answer 3

Honey needs to see a vet for safe and proper treatment of fleas.  Your vet will give Honey a complete exam and suggest the best diet for him.  You can also set up a schedule for his inoculations and determine the best age to have him neutered.

Good luck!

Answer 4

I don't think you can get rid of fleas naturally. They are very resistant. Try to apply Frontline spray, it can be used on kittens after two days of age. It won't hurt your kitty, even if he's such small.

Aha, and don't forget to spray his den and places, where he often sleeps. Fleas' eggs fall out from the fell...

Answer 5

A little secret that is SAFE is liquid dawn dish soap the blue stuff that they use on ducks that get covered in oil the vet told us the secret also if you get one of those converter hoses you put 1 part dish soap to two parts water and you spray the yard it also kills the fleas wet the kitten in a tuberwear container and rub the kitten througherly and then get a clean container of warm water and rinse the kitten don't get any on it's face you can wipe it with a clean warm damp rag but I don't suggest putting the soap on the kittens head  

Answer 6

Wash the cat in a good flea shampoo.  Don't worry, it's done at the vet's.  You won't hurt the cat.  See if this helps.

Answer 7

My dog had fleas recently and we got him some Frontline Spot On (Its for dogs, puppies, cats and kittens). You just drop a little bit of the fluid onto the skin of your kitten's neck (at the back)  and the fleas will be gone in a matter of days!

I live in the UK if you're not from UK there mught not be frontline but there's bound to be something similar!

Hope this helps!

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...

Take him to the vets.  Flea infestations can suck the lifeblood out of a small and weak animal.  Get professional help in the first place to get rid of the fleas on him now, then have a good spray round at home on your carpets etc with a home flea spray and then you shouldn't have any more probs.  If you bring him home flealess from the vets, the eggs already dormant in your carpets/upholstery etc will just hatch and jump back on him and you'll be back to square one.  I think there are natural products you can use afterwards.  The vet would know or try on the web.  He sounds very young - too young to be away from his mother.  A vet should give him the once over for that too.
