CATDOLL : Do kittens have fleas?

Kittens generally do not have fleas when they are born. They are usually carried by the mother cat and then transmitted to the kittens. This is mainly due to the living environment of the kittens. If the environment is unsanitary, there will be a large number of fleas, so the mother cat should be dewormed regularly, because fleas grow up by drinking the blood of cats. If there are a large number of fleas on the kittens, it may cause anemia, weakness, and multiple diseases. Fleas also carry the larvae of parasites, and cats will eat fleas when combing their hair, thereby infecting the parasites or contracting other infectious diseases. Therefore, it is important to deworm cats regularly.

How to get rid of fleas on kittens:

1. Regularly deworm the female cat, even if she does not have any fleas now.

2. Pay attention to the sanitary environment at home. Clean and disinfect the living environment of the cat regularly. If there are fleas, the environment should also be dewormed. Especially the place where the cat sleeps should be placed in the sun frequently. If it cannot be washed, it should be replaced regularly.

3. If the kitten has fleas, go to the pet hospital to buy special flea medicine to deworm the cat. After bathing the cat, drop a drop on the skin on the back of the cat's neck, rub the flea medicine against the kitten's fur, and wrap the kitten's body with cloth. It will take about half an hour to remove the lice and fleas on the cat, and the effect is very good.

4. After all the fleas are eliminated, the environment must be kept clean, with more disinfection and cleaning to create a clean and comfortable living environment for the cats.
