Whats the best way to get rid of fleas on kittens2007-11-25 12:29:50

I have two kittens(older than 12 weeks) and I have bathed them with flea shampoo, put flea medicine on their necks, these fleas just won't go away.

Answers:

Looks like you're going to have to fleabomb the house. Talk to your vet about it, he'll know what to use. Wash the cats (they'll hate it) before taking them somewhere. Your entire family, after you fleabomb the house, should be gone for FOUR HOURS or more (depending on what it says on the medicine bottle.) This means all pets and EVERYTHING.

After that, make sure they don't get outside. That's probably part of the problem - I'm not saying it is, but you'll want to check that.

If they're over 12 weeks you can get frontline for them. Either from the vet or online. I use it on the dogs and it works great!!

Flee Collar and a flee Bath. and to get them out of Ur house i suggest flee Bombs.

don't use generic flea medications. They use pesticides and can make your kittens sick. If you get flea medication from the vet it should work much better.

Also, my friend found a kitten with a LOT of fleas. I was told that any kind of soap works well to kill the fleas. In fact, we ended up using dish detergent and it did work extremely well. The fleas basically just started falling off. The vet also said this was safe to use and I did bathe her twice right away as well. Also, I am sure you have found out most cat's don't like water.however, it is good to let them "soak" in the soap for a few minutes in order to kill some of the fleas (since it doesn't kill on contact). Then rinse and repeat. This was followed with some veterinary prescribed flea medication and the problem was completely solved.
