Best flea treatment for small kitten?

[Darksideofthemoon19]

We took her vets on Friday and he said she’s too small for the spray stuff 😑 so wouldn’t give her anything?!

She weighs 800g. I managed to get a massive flea off her on Friday but today I found a small one.
Pretty sure I was bit on my leg yesterday too.

So obviously will have to downstairs of the house. We have wooden floors and a few wool blankets 😑

Help!

There's nothing really if the vet said too small for the spray as well; Advocate is only safe when they are 9 weeks AND 1kg (not either/or). Hopefully she will gain weight quickly and then vet will be ok to give you a treatment. You can give her a bath with a very mild pet friendly soap and use a flea comb to get the fleas off (drowning the fleas works best hence the bath).

Do you think I should just carry on combing, and try and get her to gain weight? Then hopefully in a few weeks when her next appointment is the avdocate will do a really good job? Then do I spray my whole house?

When ours was a kitten (about 8 weeks) he had awful fleas (one of the reasons we got him it was honestly more like a rescue) we bathed him in warm water with fairy liquid in, this drowns the fleas, without the detergent the fleas can swim and get out the water, the fairly liquid makes them sink. We then bathed him in clean warm water to rinse it off and had lots of hot water bottle cuddles to dry him off. Also cleaned EVERYTHING on a very hot wash cycle. The trick is to try and get the water in a basin to approx his body temp and hold him facing up and lower him in gently so he doesn’t panic as he doesn’t really realise he’s wet to begin with. We also after this manually picked the dead flees out and combed him, fleas tended to be in his little arm pits and around his hips as they congregate in the warmest areas.
