Yes I was wondering if anyone would know if it is OK to use vinger water on 2 week old kittens... We have found a mother and took her in and she gave birth 2 5 kittens... and now all of them are infested with fleas bad... I need to know if there is anything cheap we can use for them... I heard they could die.. And I don't want that to happen... So please I hope some one will help... :confused:

I also went digging around and found this post you may find it helpful as well. Good luck with your kittens and thank you for helping these poor helpless creatures out.

Jennapbt, Let us know about the cedar chips too... I would be interested in what a vet has to say about them. I would rather treat fleas naturally rather than with pesticides. I know it works with outdoor dogs and cats and that they will naturally seek a bed of chips out. I'm hoping that it will work on young kittens and puppies as well so that they don't die from the fleas.

Jennapbt agrees: Will do, hopefully my memory will be on my side tomorrow also l

I asked the doctor he said that you can use frontline or and topical spray and spray it on a paper towel and lightly dampen the kitten to control the fleas just being careful not to get any in the eyes and mouth or around the head in general. Using a flea comb works really well also. As for the cedar he wasn't too sure of the effects it has on fleas, knowing him he'll probably investigate it. He said that they are probably repelled because of the oils in the cedar, but wasn't too sure if it worked as well as anything else. We still couldn't remember what he had read somewhere that said you can use something natural to kill the fleas, he rambles on about lots of things so he couldn't remember either lol. Actually... I THINK he said something about corn starch now that I think of it.
