Ticks on a 6 week old kitten?

Question

i just took in a stray 6 week old kitten, and he has ticks, how can i get rid of them?

Answer 1

I have very young stray kittens I took in, a vet put advantage on them b/c they had fleas so bad.  You could see like 10 fleas running on their bodies.  She split the medicene between the 4 of them.  Now they r flea free, and they are just fine.  Call your vet explain what is going on, but don't use the advantix without permission and exactly how much the kitten needs, too much could kill it.

Answer 2

Just comb him, don't use collars or any flea lotion, He's too young

Answer 3

The only thing appropriate for this age is Frontline SPRAY, not the spot on ampoules. Just the spray. Make sure you don't use too much, and that you don't spray his face. Also that he doesn't l**k himself until he is dry. After spraying, wait 1-2 days and then remove the ticks with tweezers. Presumably they will be dead, but it is better to put them in alcohol and then dispose of them.

Answer 4

take an eye dropper and fill it with seabreeze ,witch hazel or alcohol.

you then put a drop or two on the tick....this will stun them and make them let go and you can pick off the bloody little so and so.

otherwise it causes pain to the cat to have them pried loose.
