hey. Don't normaly use forums, but i'm at a loss with outr 2 new kittens.
story goes like this. My fiancee popped down to the vet to give the dogs a checkup and he saw these 2 kittens (about 6-8 weeks old) in a cage out the back. Upon enjquiry he was told they had been dumped a couple of days earlier and were going to be put down if they didn't find a home.
So they came home. black and white girl (Sifl), silver tabby boy (unnamed).
Poor little things were a mess! a good 3 or 4mm deep in fleas and flea dirt on thier backs. matted fur and thin as anything.
Gave them both baths with flea shampoo (water turned dark read with blood from the flea poop). wormed them and gave them some flea stuff on the back of thier necks. They are both adorable. never stop purring and playing.
Only problem is its been a number of days now and they still seem VERY uncomfortable. They scratch constantly and still have alot of fleas. They look to be in so much disscomfort
Any ideas how i can get rid of the remainding fleas fast? And how to ease thier discomfort?
thank you
Jessica
(P.S. any recomendations on a good way to bring them to a good healthy weight? currently feeding dry food for kittens with some tinned kitten food as well. and opinions on raw for youngsters?)
