      Well, yeah they are young but the main problem is to cure from fleas. In young animals, a secondary complication may arise that is the GIT (Gatsrointestinal Problem) because of the self grooming with lice infestation.
      Treatment:
      You have to use same topical application, it will remain only on the skin of the kittens, so will not harm them.
      Topical applications include the insecticide (at two weeks interval) for 3 consecutive treatments .
      Insecticide may be in the form of either dust, spray or dip.
      Examples are: Malathion (0.5% solution), coumphas (0.25-0.5% solution) or pyrethrin powder.
