    How to get rid off fleas
    A street dog gave birth to 3 cute puppies. They live in the garden and are 1 and half month old. They have so many fleas red orange coloured. I tried a tick powder on them but to no relief.as they live outside what should I do to help them the fleas really irritate them. Help.
    I'm also giving them multivitamin drops, 2 drops a day help

    These pups need to be moved inside.
    If you can't take them into your house then unfortunately they need to go to a shelter.

    Fleas are not red/orange they are a dark brown/black color, so I think it would be some other kind of bug or mite.

    Keeping them outside means they are just going to keep getting the bugs on them and they are too young to have a more permanent flea treatment put on them yet.

    They will also need vaccinations as well as worming.

    Thank you for caring for these pups but it is time for a trip to a vets.

    The American Dog flea is a light enough brown, especially the female, to look orange-ish to the untrained eye. It's definitely vet time, they've just weaned and their immunities are going to start dropping off without either mother's milk or vaccinations. I would send them straight to the vet before bringing them in, though. They may have other parasites, like worms. Sacchro, thanks for caring.

    Does your town have an Animal Control officer in the police dept. Usually those cops really do care about the strays they pick up.
