What do you do if your kitten licks flea medication?
There likely will be no problem if the amount of canine flea medicine ingested was within the dosage range for a dog similar in size to the cat, but take the cat to a veterinarian if it swallowed a much larger amount of the medicine or if it appears to be sick. Bring the container of medicine along with its instructions with you if you do go to a veterinarian.
Flea infested cat?
You will know when your cat/kitten has fleas because it will leave behind black semi-circular poo's, you can't see the flea's themselves without a microscope but flea drops and powder should clear them up.
Will flea collar and medication get rid of fleas if cat already has them?
Yes - the medication impregnated in the flea collar is designed to kill off any existing infestation - and deter fleas from landing on the animal in future.

How do you take off flea medication?
If you have accidentally applied too much flea medication to your pet, you can immediately wash it off with soap and warm water. However, the absorption rate of most topical (applied to skin) flea medications is pretty quick, so you should still watch your cat very carefully for signs of disorientation, salivation, etc. If you see any kind of unusual behavior, take your cat to the vet immediately, along with the flea medication you applied so your vet can see what your cat may be suffering from.

Can you use human eye drops on a kitten?
No. Never use human medication on a cat, especially a kitten.

If you feel you kitten needs treatment, take it to the vet who can prescribe medicine that is safe for the kitten.
