For newborn kittens with fleas, if the number of fleas on the kitten is small, the owner can remove them directly. However, if the infection in the kitten is serious, you need to consult a pet doctor in time to buy and use safer anthelmintics for the kitten to get rid of fleas. In addition, the environment in which the kitten lives also needs to be thoroughly disinfected. The owner can disinfect the kitten's bedding and other utensils together to avoid reinfection of the kitten and people.

1. Direct removal

Because newborn kittens have weak resistance, it is generally not recommended to directly use external anthelmintics to deworm. If the number of fleas on the kitten is small, the owner can remove them directly. You can also use a comb to comb the cat's hair, let the fleas get stuck in the teeth of the comb, and then kill the fleas manually.

2. Use safer anthelmintics

If the kitten is seriously infected, direct removal may not be tried. At this time, it is recommended that the owner use the lowest dose of anthelmintic drugs containing fepredronil. Before use, the owner must consult a pet doctor and reduce the dose appropriately based on the kitten's weight. In addition, since the kitten's hair is short at this stage, it is recommended that the owner spray the external deworming medicine on a towel and then apply it on the kitten. At the same time, the kitten needs to wear an Elizabethan ring. In addition, if there are other cats in the home, external deworming work is also required.

3. Disinfect the environment

The appearance of fleas in newborn kittens is usually caused by being infected by the mother cat, or caused by the presence of fleas in the environment. Therefore, the owner needs to get rid of fleas on the kitten. After removing fleas, the kitten’s toys, bedding, and living environment need to be dewormed and disinfected to avoid re-infection of the kitten and people.
