From the Related Link: "When we saw her sit and wait while the possum ate all her food, we took her in, she was between 8 and 12 weeks at that time. Fleas all over her. I bathed her with flea shampoo then kept her in warm cozy towels, watching her sleep, while she dried.
The dang fleas were STILL THERE after she was dry. When we took her for her shots the next week, the vet gave me a spray bottle of some really noxious flea spray. She was too young to actually spray so we were instructed to spray a towel with the preparation and wrap her in it leaving only her face visible for I think 10 or 15 minutes. A few fleas tried to escape by running onto her face, I squashed them as they appeared.
She didn't like the smell or confinement but when she felt the fleas disappearing she got comfortable and waited patiently! I combed all the dead ones out after I took the towel off."

∙ 13y agoIt is safe to use 'spot on' flea products such as Advantage and Front Line on an 8 week old kitten, but it is advisable to ask your vet for advice on which flea product to use. Your vet might even administer this first flea treatment to your kitten for you.
In addition to the flea treatment, you must comb your kitten with a flea comb once or twice a week. This will remove any fleas, alive or dead, flea 'dirt' that is on your kitten. It is best to comb your kitten in the bath or on a light-coloured towel to see what the comb picks up. Repeat this until the comb is no longer picking up and fleas or dirt (which is the adult flea waste).
Be sure to treat your house, also. Flea larvae can live in carpets for many months at a time so regular vaccuming and washing of floors and any other fabric is necessary. Read the links below for more information on treating your pets and your house.
Revolution is the safest product to use on kittens which can be used as early as 4 weeks.

∙ 11y agoWe were told to bathe our kitten with original Dawn dishwashing soap.
We did and it really does work without using poisonous flea chemicals.
You do still need to use a small flea comb to get the dead fleas off of them.
