You just got a kitten home and found that it has a lot of fleas on it, which makes you very troubled. Fleas are a common problem encountered when raising pets. Once these little devils enter the pet's body, they will cause discomfort to the pet. In more serious cases, they will spread diseases and even pose a threat to the pet's health.
Next, let's learn how to deal with fleas on kittens.
First, you need to clean the kitten and its surroundings thoroughly. Place the kitten in the bathtub and slowly scrub the kitten's body with warm water and animal-specific bath liquid. Be careful with noses and eyes to avoid getting water into their eyes and noses. Wash the kitten's hair completely, and then wipe it clean with water to prevent it from catching a cold. Likewise, you'll want to clean the areas where your kitten spends time, deeply disinfect your home, and allow the surrounding environment to dry.
Secondly, use a professional flea insecticide to eliminate fleas on the kitten. Pet pesticides can be found at animal clinics and can be used to kill fleas and their eggs. It should be noted that the choice of insecticide should be limited according to the age and weight of the kitten.
In addition, when spraying pesticides, avoid spraying on the nose, eyes and mouth of kittens, otherwise they may inhale too much of the drug and cause side effects.
Finally, use anti-flea medication to prevent flea infestation. Even though the fleas are dead, this does not guarantee that the kitten will not become infected again. So, you can buy anti-flea ointment or collar at a pet store or veterinary clinic. You can also use anti-flea spray at home every month to kill flea eggs, and spray flea growth inhibitors to prevent fleas from breeding again.
In order to keep kittens clean, we need to let them clean frequently. Before they reach adulthood, you can help them clean themselves regularly and keep their areas clean. Replace the kitten's mattress cover, nest pad and other used items. Use 85℃ high temperature water for cleaning and disinfection to completely eliminate bacteria, fleas and their eggs.
Finally, please remember that when there are fleas on a kitten, we should not kill it easily, because it may break away from the pet and jump to people, causing more adverse effects. Proper and correct handling will prevent our kittens from suffering and make the journey of bringing them up more happy and happy.
