How do I get rid of fleas that are on my 7 week old kittens.?

Question

My 7 or 8 week old kittens have fleas what do I do.

Answer 1

okay, do not use flea product on them that you would buy from the supermarket.

this may be harmful as they are still little babies.

take them to the veterinarian, who will have a special formula you can use on kittens that won't be harmful to them.

good luck de-fleaing your kitties ♥

Answer 2

Get some flea solution from your vet . And make sure you debug their bedding. Then vaccum and spray the entire house

Answer 3

Give them a shampoo in Dawn Dishwashing liquid--using small squirts of it and keeping it away from their faces. Start at the top of the head and work back to the tail with warm water and Dawn until all the fleas are dead.

Dawn is also an effective deterrent and will keep fleas off of your cat for some time.

Then you will have to kill the fleas in their environment. Many recommend using 20 mule team Borax and spreading it around on carpets, sofas, pillows and beds, but NOT on the cats.

It kills off the flea and the egg but needs to be vacuumed out after an hour or so and all the dead fleas get vacuumed out with it. Put the borax down several days in a row and vacuum it out each time.

Answer 4

There are 2 things you can do. First you can take them to the vet and they will give you flea medicine for kittens. Or you can buy the medicine over the counter at a store. When you buy it at the store you buy the medicine according to the cats weight. Since they are kittens you would probably buy the medicine for cats under 5 lbs., this is usually used for kittens. Going to the store is cheaper then the vet though.
