M kitten is nine weeks old tommorow...and when I got her she already had fleas. How do I go about getting them out at her age? I've picked out about 10 fleas already but I know she has more.... HELP PLEASE!

Take her to the vet. My cat was infested with fleas, my vet prescribed Revolution. The stuff works wonders!!!!! And it kills more than just fleas. He was flea free with in 24 hours!!!!
And it is safe for kittens
Please don't use any of the over the counter stuff, especially Hartz products, they are not safe to use
, especially on kittens, and definetly not a flea collar, even if it says it is safe, any vet will tell you that they can be dangerous
, and cost you more in vet bills down the road
. Good Luck!!

I wholeheartedly agree with using revolution. Great stuff. Worth the price. The over-the-counter stuff is garbage.

I used to use that, but the last visit to the vet they gave us Advantage, and I must say that it didn't work as well.

Also Revolution kills roundworm, earmites, heartworm, as well as fleas

Poor baby, she's so young! I agree, definitely a trip to the Vet is in order. She like has worms as well as fleas, and at this young age could easily become anemic from a serious flea infestation.

Another thing that might help is to get a flea comb. You can get a lot of them that way.
