    I wouldn't worry about it until they are little older. They are way to young for any kind of treatment.

    Revolution is a safe product to use on the mother and should be done asap.

    Also, flea anemia can and has killed many puppies. As tiny as puppies are too many fleas sucking their blood deprives them of the oxygen the body needs provided by the blood. No blood, no oxygen, no live puppy!

    DO NOT use any over the counter flea meds on your pets EVER!

    We use Revolution at the clinic where I work and divide the dosage down so the puppies only get the amount they need. In your case 1 drop or so.

    Please call your vet especially since you will be needing to get dewormer at 2 weeks.
    Good Luck!
