u must treat the house for fleas at the same time if not ur be fighting a losing battle coz there will be fleas everywhere the cat has gone .

just phoned the vet got appointment tomorrow at 10am, was going to charge me for a check up but i said no no she he went and asked the vet and he said it was free  for checking them over

Good luck in getting rid of them - as Ela says, bathing wont do a lot, you will have to treat mum and the house, but you could try combing with a flea comb and dipping it into very hot soapy water to kill them until you can get something from the vet - just make sure the comb is completely dry before putting it back through their fur.

Bathing will not solve the flea problem.

hi all just brought johnsons veterinary kitten easy worm syrup

To be honest with you, it is not affective enough you need the Panacur given to small kittens over a period of 3 days and the frontline spray. Although the vet  will need to see the kittens before you can have the frontline spray as it is still a POM. At our vets you do not have to pay for a flea/worm check. However, if you have already used the Johnsons I would have a word with the vet as to when you can give the Panacur

I would also suggest you get some household spray e.g., Staykill or Acclaim, once again the stuff available from shops and supermarkets is not effective enough.

iv just picked 4 out today, and theres more, but dont want to keep picking them up, i hate fleas and they always seem to bite and jump on me if i see one i have to get it out!!! my partner wants to bath mitsey, but im worried if we should or not????

[forever_missing_my_boys(Lisa)]

yep thats it i know it was either 2weeks or 2 days

which just proves no kitten should have fleas
all of mine that ive got as kittens all were riddled with fleas
and my bailey and bridie had fleas and worms
it was a nightmare .

[Ela]

think u can use frontline from 2 weeks old

Frontline Spray can be used from 2 days old.

[kezmayuk]

will get onto them, thanks

[forever_missing_my_boys(Lisa)]

the panacur u get from the vet its quite cheap and it comes in a syringe
but double check wat age they can have it at first , im sure its from 2weeks .

[kezmayuk]

a week and 3 days, just opened there eyes, where would i get panacur from???

[forever_missing_my_boys(Lisa)]

i think u need to use panacur for the worming hun
and the fleas
how old r the kittens now? i think u can use frontline from 2 weeks old
