Answer #1

If they are tiny, you can bath them in Dawn dish detergent to get rid of fleas…if mama has them tho, you’ve got to do her, also…plus any of their bedding. It’s imperative, also…to keep them warm.

Answer #2

You can technically bathe kittens once their umbilical cords are healed up, but not with flea shampoo…as a matter of fact, you shouldn’t need to bathe them at that age - mom does that.

Most flea treatments I know of are dangerous to a kitten under 6 months of age, so if you have a flea problem, all you can do is get a flea comb and try to keep the fleas from getting too out of control…the kittens will need to be combed frequently.

Answer #3

ditto to both above, I am only going to add for every flea you see there are a 100 more in different stages, so you need to wash the animals, bedding, vaccum under couch and anywhere these kittens go. As soon as they are old enough get them started on a good flea and tick prevention, MOST of your over the counter products are VERY BAD for animals and will make them sick or die, please stick with frontline, advantage and revolution.
