Instructions
Step 1
From constant bites, a kitten can develop skin inflammation and even anemia from blood loss, which can result in the death of the animal. Therefore, fleas must be destroyed. But it is not recommended to use aggressive drugs. You can try the gentle flea method. Pour warm water into a bowl and dissolve three tablespoons of table salt in it. Dip the kitten into the prepared solution up to the neck, soak for ten minutes. Then wipe it dry with a towel and start combing out the fleas.
Step 2
To get rid of fleas from a kitten, rub the skin and fur of the pet with a decoction of tansy or wormwood. When fighting parasites in an animal, do not forget to disinfect the kitten's places of stay (bedding, house, chair, sofa). Build your pet a kind of fresh sawdust mattress. This will help scare off annoying blood-sucking parasites. Vacuum up your upholstered furniture and carpet daily to kill the flea maggots.
Step 3
The most convenient and affordable means of dealing with fleas in kittens is an anti-flea collar. However, its use is not always effective, since the parasites migrate further from the collar to the tail of the animal. In addition, not all kittens will tolerate an insecticidal collar, they will rush to get rid of it by all available means.
Step 4
Purchase an insecticidal shampoo from your pet supply store. But before that, you should make sure that it is specifically designed for kittens. Read the instructions carefully before using the shampoo. Often, special foam or soap is used in the fight against fleas. It is enough just to lather a small piece of cloth with this product and wipe the cat. Try to avoid getting soap in your kitten's eyes, ears and nose.
Step 5
See your veterinarian for help. The specialist will examine the animal and prescribe a special agent to remove fleas from the kitten. These can be sprays, shampoos, or effective drops that should be used once a month, applied to the withers of the animal.
