Kitten fleas

[Ilovekats]

I got a litter of kittens and withen the first 30 minutes of having them I saw fleas. But they are to young for flea meds and 2 are to scared of me to bathe. What should i do

Flea comb. Keep a cup of hot soapy water nearby to knock the fleas into. Very safe, and it can help the timid ones get used to you too.

I have a cat who recently had kittens. We were about to get her fixed when I noticed she started acting like she is pregnant again, she is getting larger and her stomach feel like she is pregnant. But I dont know.

Any intact males around? She may have another problem. Time for a vet visit!

 

[Ilovekats]

Yes there is a stray we can't catch him

You can still get her spayed now While it’s early. How old are her kittens? Back to back litters are hard on cats. You should keep her 100% inside where males cannot get her or it will happen over and over. Poor gal.

How old are the kittens? Do you have the mother cat too?

How old are the kittens? Do you have the mother cat too?

Yes we have the mother and the kittens are a few months

 

[Sarthur2]

They are old enough to bathe if they are a few months. They are also old enough for a tube of Advantage II for cats flea medication to be put between their shoulder blades. You can purchase it online or in pet stores. It goes by weight. Do you have plans to spay and neuter the mom and kittens?

 

[Ilovekats]

Yes but I think the mom may be pregnate again and im also worried that it might be something else making her act like she is pregnant

 

[Ilovekats]

We are keeping her inside but she runs out when I open the door

 

[Sarthur2]

Keeping her inside means making sure she does not get out when you open the door. I have to put a couple of my cats in a bedroom and close the door sometimes so they don’t run out the door when I need to open it. Vigilance!

 

[Sarthur2]

Advantage II can be applied even if she is pregnant. If you think she has a problem then you need to see the vet.

I have kittens and today I got Zodiacs cat flea and tick powder and put dome on them like it said. It also said DO NOT DIGEST... but as soon as I put it on the kittens and let them go the mom cat licked them and now im panicking and i don't know what i did. But it had no instructions to say what to do.

Keep an eye on mama and you'll want to call your vet.

Even with newborn kittens a vet will know exactly how much to give them when it comes to topical flea medications.

 

[Ilovekats]

We got them fleaed today!

 

[Ilovekats]

Ok, thanks!

We got them fleaed today!

I am so relieved to hear that! Fleas can kill kittens so I am very happy that you got your little gang treated.
