My newborn puppies have LOTS of fleas!
Hi! I'm Jasmine and my dog just had her first litter of puppies three days ago, 8 little puppies, but they are all infested with fleas!!! I feel absolutely aweful, if I sit near them I can see all of the fleas crawling.
I was wondering if there is anything I can do for them right now? Because I know they're young but I need to help, is it really too soon?
Thanks a bunch,
Jasmine

fleas on puppies is dangerous, I have heard that for puppies to young for flea products you can use straight white vinegar applied with a cotton ball (make sure it goes no where near the nose and eyes tho). But you really need to take them to the vet.

I really find it upsetting that so many people are so irresponsible about breeding dogs. Those unwilling to make the major commitment doing breeding right, should spay/neuter their pets by 6 months.
I would certainly confirm the use of vinegar with a reliable source. Just because somebody has heard of using it, doesn't mean it is safe or effective. Just because somebody posts here doesn't mean their advice is good.
