Answer 4

Wow I wouldn't know because the flea treatment is to strong for thekittens little bodies but also the fleas could kill them from anemia and do not give it to the mother because the flea treatment enters the blood stream and when the flea suck the blood they die.

So go to the vet and take the mother and her kittens and ask them what to do.

But for all of they other cats it is fine to give them the flea treatment.

P.S. if you have them outside then the mom and kittens need to come inside after fleas are gone or else you will have a massive flea problem in you carpets but if you already have fleas in you house then mop the floors with flea shampoo mixed with water and sprinkle salt in your carpets (the salt dries them up).

Good Luck......!!!!

Hi there

Fleas can be such a huge pain. Especially in the warmer months

To eradicate them initially you can use a spot treatment such as advantix. Just read the back of the pack. Some brands are ok to use on little kittens but others aren't.

To keep the fleas away in the long term try planting some lavender near doors and windows and wash your cats bedding with a few drops of eucalyptus oil.

Also put a few drops of eucalyptus oil in your vacuum cleaner bag. This will kill off any eggs you might vacuum up and stop them from hatching.
