What should i do? kitten and flea treatment.?

Question

my little sister gave my 9-10 week old kitten this flea treatment you get from walmart thats like a spray that kills them. it said for small cats and kittens so she didnt notice that it said do not use on kittens under 12 weeks. now the kitten is acting funny, is there anything i can do?

Answer 1

Bathe it immediately!!!!!!  Those products can be toxic on even the correct age and size cat.  If the pet starts to drool a lot, vomit, kinda stare off into space, or stumble around like it's drunk, take it to an emergency hospital.  This could turn out to be life or death.

Answer 2

Give it a bath asap to wash off the poision flea spray and then rush your kitten to the vet for supportive IV care before the poision takes affect and destroys neuroligical functions.

You can buy Capstar and Frontline Plus here which will definitely kill all the fleas on your kitten and prevent reinfestation. And it's safe

Frontline contains fipronil, which spreads via the body oils killing fleas within 24 hours and ticks within 48 hours. Ticks are generally killed before they bite, decreasing the risk of tick-borne disease transmission. Approved for use on kittens 8 weeks and older.

Frontline Plus also contains (S)-methoprene, an Insect Growth Regulator, which prevents an insect from maturing or reproducing. Approved for use on kittens 8 weeks and older.

You can use FRONTLINE flea and tick control once a month and it's completely waterproof. Provide your cat with the best flea and tick protection, right from the start.

Answer 3

You would want to call the vet, they will tell you what you should do. But I have heard that you should not buy the flea treatments at Walmart & such. They could cause problems or even be fatal. I don't want to scare you, give your vet a call asap.
