The question of how to get rid of fleas in a kitten is acute first of all because at an early age many preparations are simply contraindicated for animals. What to do? After all, the consequence of an attack of skin parasites can even be the death of a small pet (of course, in very extreme cases, however, such precedents were).
The oldest and easiest way to get rid of a kitten’s fleas is to comb them out. Tiring and very difficult for sight occupation, but what to do - we are responsible for those who tamed. Dark-colored insects are clearly visible on the thin, light skin of the animal. They are easy to catch with fingers in a still thin coat. It is necessary to destroy by crushing on hard surfaces. Fleas are almost flat, just holding them with your fingers will not kill them.
The next way to get rid of the kitten’s fleas is by swimming. Wash the kitten in warm, running water every other day. Large individuals will not be able to resist and will "float away" into the sewer. The eggs laid by them will turn into sexually mature insects, capable of laying, only after a couple of days, by then you should repeat the procedure again.
You need to use these methods until the age of six weeks. From this point on, the question of how to get rid of fleas in a kitten will not be so acute. Many manufacturers assure, and experts confirm that using specialized products is safe for the health of the wards.
The simplest and least effective is considered a remedy for fleas for kittens in the form of shampoo. Use it for treatment is impractical, the only thing for which it is perfect is prevention. After contact with dubious animals, wash the kitten in warm water with a specialized solution.
Next in terms of effectiveness are collars. Their ability to fight skin parasites is much higher, but making a small creature wear such an adornment is quite difficult. Yes, and a specific smell that can harm a kitten should not be written off. The same conclusion can be made regarding sprays that are ideal for adult animals, but inappropriate for babies.
So how to poison fleas in kittens? There are well-proven drops. If you follow the rules, you are guaranteed to remove all parasites from the skin of the ward for a long time. The basic rule is the ban on swimming (three days before and the same after treatment). Give preference to reputable brands. Cheap copies may require reuse to consolidate the result. For example, Advantage drops are actively used by cat breeders, as they are completely safe. Also, experts recommend the complex preparation "Stronghold", capable of destroying not only fleas, but also several types of ticks, including ear mites. Moreover, he fights with some types of internal parasites (toxocaras, roundworms).
The main thing to remember: using any of the means, do not forget about the possible side effects. Be vigilant and observe the condition of the kitten while using any medication.
