My new kitten has fleas. Dawn didn't help. How do I get rid of them?

Question

I just got a kitten yesterday. We found out yesterday that she has fleas all over her. I tried to wash her with Dawn dish detergent and got a flea comb but that didn't help at all. I don't want her to get sick. What can I do?

I would wash her again in dawn as This should kill some of the fleas. You cannot our topical flea product on her until she is at least 8 weeks old usually but this varies depending on the product you choose. If she is over 2 pounds your vet may be able to provide you will a cap star pill which will kill all the fleas on her for a 24 hour period. I would make sure she is eating and drink and playing normally. I would also take her to your vet next week to make sure she doesn’t look anemic and to see if they have anything else you can use on her. I hope this helps!
