To find out if a kitten has fleas, aside from the obvious scratching and biting, use a flea comb over white paper. Comb slow and see if little pepper spots show on the white paper. If there are any specks, then the kitten has fleas. Helen

A heavily infested animal, over time, can lose a substantial amount of blood to fleas.

How can you kill fleas o 2 weeks old kitten?
Vinegar will not kill fleas on any animal. Bathing is the best option. The safest flea product on the market for kittens is Revolution which you can use in kittens as young as 4 weeks. However, you can use Advantage on a nursing mother which will protect the kittens as well.

Will dawn dishing washing liquid get rid of fleas on cats?
Yes, I got a kitten a year ago, and the poor thing was infested with fleas! The kitten was too young for flea shampoo, so we decided to try dawn dishwashing liquid and it worked. If you do research on fleas, you'll find that if you put a candle in a bowl with dish wash water on the floor at night, fleas will go to it and drown in the water. This is because it cuts the tension in water and they will drown. Same principal applies to putting it on your cat, it will kill them. I washed my kitten in water with dawn dish washing liquid and then comb the fur with a comb.....regular one from the dollar general store made for humans :) and they would fall right out, all dead! My kitten had no skin reaction. We did have to take him to get dewormed. When cats have lots of fleas they may accidently ingest some when cleaning their fur. This causes cats to get worms.
