Can't get it from walmart.com til the month after next petmeds.com won't let me order it. I think I will have to do without it for an unknown amount of time. any other ideas. I'm finding tiny blood spots on my hands after holding the kittens I don't like that one bit.
You really just need to get to a local pet store. None of this is solving your flea problem.

I know, it's almost 4pm for me. So I am going to run up to the pet store that's near by and see if they have anything to help. Be back in a bit. Thank you everyone for all of your help.

Near by pet store had pretty much no flea products at all but biospot. I don't trust it. So on to other things I guess. Maybe even bathing them all. The fleas are few in number thankfully or they wouldn't of lasted this long but fleas are fleas. I've gotta go to work when I get back I will read back over this thread and a few others and figure out a path of action. Thanks again everyone.
Can you order it on Amazon.com or PetSmart or Petco on-line?

It plus shipping is to much for me to afford from those sites. i will keep trying though.
If you do the 30 day free trial for Prime on Amazon, shipping is free and you can get it next day. Then cancel Prime when you get it.

Everything I find of it under 100 dollars doesn't qualify for prime free shipping These people want 120 dollars and up for it.
They must have changed it.
I sent you a PM (personal Message) Did you see it?

Yep I got it, decided to check amazon again. Found some Advantage II for about 30 dollars with free two day shipping. It'll be here sept 2nd. I just need to keep the fleas under control til it gets here.

The smallest of the four only gained 3 grams in the last 24 hours. Other wise she seems fine. should I try to supplement anyway? or wait until tomorrow and see what the weights are?
Hmm. Can you weigh again tonight?

yep I weighed that one again and the weight was 222 from 218, Her weight yesterday was 215. I think she's okay. I have another one that when I do the math they lost about 4 grams. Concerned now. But that kitten seems to be fine other wise. I can weigh again later before I go to bed and post the weights.
Please weigh later. It's not good if they are not gaining sufficiently or losing, and I hope it's not from fleas feasting on them.
Do you have kitten formula and a syringe to supplement with? And do you need instructions?

yes, I have KMR a bottle two different syringes and a dropper to pick from. The fleas aren't to bad I've been getting as many off them as I can with a flea comb or my fingers. The Advantage will be here the day after tomorrow. I just need to know how much to supplement. I've been reading a lot of the other threads so I pretty much got the rest down. I also got a bit of experience with the first litter that my cat had.

I'm glad to hear the Advantage is on its way.
Post the weights tonight and we'll see if anyone needs boosting. You're well prepared

The weights are good for 11 days old. The goal is about 16 ounces each at four weeks old, so they are doing well. There is just the one blip with kitten one, but I'm not worried about it as long as the kitten continues to gain. They are all around 8 ounces each right now, so they are doing great! Keep weighing.
