Does frontline make a flea treatment for ferrets?
No. The only approved flea treatement for ferrets is Revolution, which is usually available from your vet. You can use the kitten dose of Frontline to treat your ferret for fleas, just use one drop per pound of ferret. (2lb ferret= 2 drops)

Who sells ferret flea medicine?
Most pet stores sell Frontline and Advantage. While these are not approved for use in ferrets, it is safe to use the smallest kitten dose on ferrets. About one drop per pound of ferret will suffice. Revolution is the only ferret approved flea medicine (it also kill heartworm). It is available at most vet offices.

Can a flea collar kill a 8 week kitten?
No, the kitten is to young still. The instructions on the flea medicine box should give you directions and usage for that product. A 8 week old kitten is too young for flea medicine and also too young for a bath with flea soap
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.
Can you catch fleas from a kitten?
Yes, but not all. You need a flea collar or something else it will suffer & possibly infest your house.Animals that have fleas can cause an infestation in your house as the previous answer states. You might want to try either some type of flea medication, a flea bath (although with most cats, any type of bath involving water had better be done in a full suit of body armor :) or a flea collar. If you go the flea medication route, make sure you look to see at what age you can administer it. I believe that some flea meds are not safe for small kittens. Actually after doing more research, I've discovered that if the kitten is less than 6 weeks old, you should not use any type of flea treatment on it. To get rid of the fleas wash the kitten in a mild dishwashing liquid such as Dawn and then manually pick the remaining fleas off. See the Related Links below for more info.
Are these flea bites or hives from my kitten?
Fleas move, hives don't.
What are the benefits of using Revolution flea medication for my pet?

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.
What to bath a 7 week puppy with that has fleas?
I have used Dawn dish soap....very carefully...on stray kitten I found who was infested with fleas. There is a lot of controversy about this...and it is very drying to the animals skins. There 'may' be store brands that are now okay for puppies and kittens, so you may want to try that first. If you use it on the puppy be very careful with his/her eyes. This will only be a temporary solution, but it may get you started. :)
