Hello. I've been taking care a female cat that I found by my house..
and a month or two later, she started showing that she was pregnant
I couldn't bring myself to take her to get spayed/abortion.
She had been wearing a flea collar but we took it off when she started showing.
We didn't give her a flea bath, because I've read/been told that you should not put any sort of flea killer on pregnant/breast feeding cats.
She gave birth two days ago, and now there are several fleas on each kitten. I am very, very worried because I've read that fleas can give kittens anemia and they can die.
Please help... what should I do?
I bought some unscented baby wipes with aloe in them, because I read on another forum that aloe baby wipes can somewhat help keep fleas off of the kittens... but I looked at them about 15 or 20 minutes after I wiped them down, and they are already covered.
My other cats all have flea collars on, and I have bought Raid flea carpet spray, and sprayed it on my carpets.. except about 3 feet around the kitten box.
I don't know what else to do! Please give me any suggestions I can try.
