Any Tips? (Found Kitten)

[Spice]

ok so 4ish days ago i found (kinda, sorta) a little tabby kitten, he can eat cat food if its mushy but i was wondering why i can do about the fleas on him? and his eyes all the time get covered up in eck and i just cant keep them clean.

how can i get rid of fleas? his to young for flea bath stuff and what not.
and what can i do for his eyes?

I wish I could help but instead I'm just sitting here grossing out and hack-spasming.

*blinks* do i wanna know?

I'm just saying. The idea of a flea infested animal pouring eye-snot out all over everything just wigs me out badly. Then to have it inside and not be able to wash it? No way!

noo, his not covered in fleas he only has a few of them, and his eyes only go like that when he wakes up from a nap or so, and his not in side his out side in the porcn or however u spell it, his really cute, all white, tabby markins on the end, wing marksings on hs back kinda and a black little tail lol

Don't let your Dad eat him. Remember what happened to the rabit?

I dunno if it's safe for itty bitty kitties but try Hartz (or something like it) flea spray but spray your hands and rub it on kitteh.
So momma cat nowhere to be found?

Wipe the eyes out with clean water, then vaseline the hell out of them. Dont use a commercial flea product on it, its too little. You might kill it.

Definitely not good then but at least the fleas would leave him alone.

Meanwhile, this puppy is just too cute: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0-Sv6YnxEc

ill tryr that gop, but im also gonna try a tiny bit of dish soap, a freind who has had kitten like this before told me to try it

day 5 of having him, dad said at day 2 he would be gone,,i think i have found my dad's soft spot, kitten is named, his here to stay

Dont use soap. Cats have allergy to a lot of lyme-based detergent, and thats in many soaps. Just wipe the eyes out with a clean wet cloth and vaseline them liberally. It wont hurt its eyes, I promise. I've doctored many a country kitten like this.

Oh NO. Not Flies. He doesn't have maggots does he?
Can you put a screen over him to keep them away?
I had a little girl cat I inherited from my Mom.
She was dying of kidney failure, went outside and got infested.
She knew.
Best of luck with your little guy, Jess.
I hope he pulls through.

I found this site and what it recommends to help with the fleas is something others sites recommends also. http://www.catsofaustralia.com/kitten_fleas.htm
