When I had to bath three 4 week old kittens for fleas, the vet suggested Johnson & Johnson baby shampoo, unseated.
How soapy water kills fleas is by drowning. The soap reduces the water/soap surface tension, the the solution can penetrate the fleas's spiracles, the breathing tubes that penetrate the side of the flea. Hence drowning the flea. Straight water won't do.
Please don't use flea collars. About two decades past I put one on a cat. Within three days the cat's skin under the collar was rare and starting to bleed. I have not used collars since. Modern collars may not do this, but as another poster pointed out, the collar probably is not effective all over the body.
Would the original. poster please keep us up dated?
