Hi,q
I'm new to this site and in need of some help. I've rescued two litters of kittens, an older single kitten and two adult cats from a kill shelter (they were about to be put down in 24 hours).
The youngest ones are about 5 weeks old and have a pretty bad flea infestation. I had another litter with fleas a couple of months ago and with them I was told to just wash them with Dawn and keep combing the fleas out. I don't know if any of this helped but it surely didn't remove the fleas. The fleas only went away once I used Frontline on them when they were old enough.
But these new kittens are a lot worse than the others were so I really want to use something on them that will actually kill the fleas. Does anyone have any suggestions for something I can use on them and where I can get it? I've heard of some sprays that can be used but I don't know the name of it. My vet doesn't have anything.
I was also wondering if someone could suggest a good dewormer that I can use on adult cats and kittens? I'm hoping go find something inexpensive that I don't have to go to the vet for.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Rocktosh
