I just picked up a mother and her 5 kittens yesterday who were placed in an animal "drop box" of a shelter by their former owner who was tired of mom getting pregnant all the time. The kittens are only a few days old, eyes not open yet. Mom is absolutely terrified, probably related to everything she has been through! They look healthy, but mom and the kittens all have quite a few fleas. None of my newborns have ever had this many fleas before.
I plan on talking to a vet sometime today. Any other ideas on what is safe? I am a little afraid of giving mom a bath since she is so terrified right now and I don't want to scare her more. I can try to pick some of the fleas off with a comb, but there are quite a few! Mom's hair is dark which also makes it hard. Thanks for any ideas.
