Good afternoon. Took in a pregnant, feral cat a couple months ago. She'd been staying in our sunroom during the day, out at night. But she decided to have the kittens inside. They're 6 weeks old, growing well, nearly weaned. But yesterday, I found them to have a pretty bad flea infestation. I had been checking regularly, but missed them somehow. They're too young for meds, so I bathed them individually as good as I could, combed with flea comb, removed all I could see. Washed bedding, treated mom with a topical today.
Kept momma outside all day, worried about transfer from her fur to kittens whilst nursing. How long must I keep them apart? Packaging says 24 hrs, she is pacing and distressed not to have access to the kittens. Vet closed at 1 today, unable to ask them.
Also, if anyone has any suggestions for other remedies for kittens, I'm all ears.
Thank you
