>>My 1 day old kittens have fleas, and if they have fleas then momma has to, too. Is it safe to give mom a flea bath and more importantly what can I do for the kittens?



Do NOT use those Hartz flea products on the mom!



Talk to your vet about whether you can use one of the "spot" flea killers like Revolution, Frontline, etc, on the mom.



Do NOT leave the fleas on the kittens!! Wipe them off, gently comb them off, whatever you have to do, but if they stay on the kittens they will suck so much of their blood that they could die!
