They are too young to use any flea products on.Or bathe. If you can't pick them off, you may ned to use a flea comb. After you take the flea off with a comb dip the comb in hot soapy water to kill the flea. You will want to make sure the comb is dry before it is on the kitten again, if it gets wet it could get a chill. My vet had said that treating the mom with flea drops (frontline) will help too, as the mother rubs them and sheds the flea stuff kills the fleas on kittens in the box. They were much older though and it was only AFTER vet advised. (frontline and/or advatage can be used on kittens at 8-12 weeks(?) In my case the fleas were more of a treat then fronline, but they were 4 weeks and the vet advised. Untill the kittens are old enough for flea prevention, the comb is the only way I know to rid them.Originally Posted by Catguy75
I just saw a flea on my new 1 day old kitten. Anything I can do? Soapy bath maybe?
