Hello. I do not think this is infected, but it is definitely very, very irritated. The best way to treat flea bites is to prevent them in the first place, so do be sure to be as diligent as possible with treating all of your pets, you indoor premises & outdoor environment with appropriate products. A cool water, oatmeal based shampoo can be very soothing. Nene may need additional medications to deal with this inflammation, so you may need to see your veterinarian for this.
