Best Answer

To find out if a kitten has fleas, aside from the obvious scratching and biting, use a flea comb over white paper. Comb slow and see if little pepper spots show on the white paper. If there are any specks, then the kitten has fleas. Helen

If it scratches more than it should and when you pet it, it looks like it has tiny black dots on it.

Also it will scratch because of litter sometimes instead of fleas.

Can fleas make a kitten sick?

A heavily infested animal, over time, can lose a substantial amount of blood to fleas. This is mostly the case in very young or frail animals. 70 fleas can consume 1 mL of blood per day which could kill a puppy or kitten in 50 days. Double the number of fleas and the young animal can be dead in a month. They lose so many red blood cells to the fleas that they become anemic and die.

How can you kill fleas o 2 weeks old kitten?

Vinegar will not kill fleas on any animal. Bathing is the best option. The safest flea product on the market for kittens is Revolution which you can use in kittens as young as 4 weeks. However, you can use Advantage on a nursing mother which will protect the kittens as well. The best thing i have found for killing fleas on a kitten is dawn dishdetergent. wet the kitten cover it in dawn scrub it good and leave the dawn on for 10 min. I know the cat will not be happy but it will kill the fleas and wont harm the kitten like some chemical ones can

Will dawn dishing washing liquid get rid of fleas on cats?

Yes, I got a kitten a year ago, and the poor thing was infested with fleas! The kitten was too young for flea shampoo, so we decided to try dawn dishwashing liquid and it worked. If you do research on fleas, you'll find that if you put a candle in a bowl with dish wash water on the floor at night, fleas will go to it and drown in the water. This is because it cuts the tension in water and they will drown. Same principal applies to putting it on your cat, it will kill them. I washed my kitten in water with dawn dish washing liquid and then comb the fur with a comb.....regular one from the dollar general store made for humans :) and they would fall right out, all dead! My kitten had no skin reaction. We did have to take him to get dewormed. When cats have lots of fleas they may accidently ingest some when cleaning their fur. This causes cats to get worms.

What do you do if your kitten is biting itself?

Like in cleaning itself? My cats do that, they find a part of their fur that is "unclean" and they bite at it, then lick it clean. They don't draw blood though, so if your cat is hurting itself by biting all the time, or drawing blood; you should take your cat the vet and have it checked out. Or, it may be because of fleas, the cat maybe biting itself to itch where the fleas are.
