    Contact your vet. These pups are too young for any over the counter flea medication or shampoos. You did the only thing I would recommend for pups that young.

    You have to ALSO get rid of the fleas on Mom, and out of the nesting area, and everywhere else Mom and the pups have been from before the pups were born. Why? Because, the environment is a reservoir of new fleas which will be more than happy to reinfest whatever animal gets into their territory.

    I am sending you a link to a site that goes into great detail about fleas and ridding your pets and property of them. The information is current, as to products and procedures.
