My two kittens, Parrot and Shinobi, possibly have fleas... they have something, at least. I've seen bugs on them, just haven't gotten a good enough look to identify them. The problem is, my kittens are still young, and all the products I've looked at in stores say not to use on cats under 12 weeks of age. I'm pretty sure Parrot and Shinobi are around 9-10 weeks (didn't know how old they were when we got them). I tried a flea collar on them, hoping maybe they'd be okay, but a few minutes after I put one on each of them, they became very lethargic and just not themselves at all, so I took them off at the advice of a vet. They seem to be okay now (the collars were only on for about 10 minutes), but I'm still at a loss as to what I can do... I can't afford to get actual prescription medication from a vet, I'm limited to the very cheap over-the-counter stuff for the time, but you see how that went. I've been bathing them, but it's leaving my hands in shreds and I don't think it's doing much good. Any suggestions? Heh, or donations?
