Would It Hurt My Female Cat To Give Her A Flea Bath?
My cat had kittens a week ago. I saw a flea on one of the kittens and I know that fleas can cause worms. I also noticed that my cat is kind of smelly. Would it cause her kittens to stop nursing or hurt them if I gave her a flea bath?

I probably wouldn't give her a flea bath. Maybe a flea collar or some flea gel. Your best bet would be to go to the vet or give them a call even and they should be able to answer your question right on the phone for you. If you can't use those products they should have an alternate solution for you.

You can give her a flea bath, But be careful of getting the soap on her nipples, or if you do get it on them, make sure to was them very well, My cat had fleas and i gave her and her five kittnes baths and they are all fine Flea free! Make sure you also use soap that is for kittens
BTW i used Hartz 3 in 1 foaming shampoo and they are all health flea free Cats

Remember that a FLEA bath indicates some chemicals. You may want to just give her a bath using Dawn detergent until she has weaned the kittens. Afterward, invest in Frontline or Advantage from your Vet. Never use the Hartz frontline as it has been known to cause deaths in dogs and cats.
