To make a long story short I have a litter of kittens with fleas and the vet is inaccessible atm. Gave them dawn baths and changed their sheets but I'm worried about reinfestation.
I saw an old thread saying to give them a drop of advantage. Not sure how big the drops should be on a kitten so small? I thought I should just apply a little bit from the end of a q tip. Thoughts anyone?

Have you considered giving them Capstar as well? It says that it works on kittens 4 wks of age and older.

Flea & Tick treatments for kittens?
Newborn kittens and fleas?!
These may be the posts that you saw. Advantage II is made for kittens who are 2 - 5 lbs.

Capstar minimums are 4 weeks and 2 lbs.

I would also get a weight on the kittens before administering anything. Many times the use of Dawn and a good cleaning will keep things flea free. To me, a drop would mean exactly that...a drop.
