Alright I need some advice, /adv/. My sister paid fifty dollars for a broken kitten. The little thing has hella fleas, and I'm pretty sure ear mites. I've combed her with a lice comb and I'm pretty certain I've gotten most if not all of them. Ive never had a flea problem. I just want to know what precautions and / or steps I could take to prevent an outbreak. Ive only had her about two days. Pic related, its her after bath to murder fleas.
I have alot of experience with stuff like this.
1- You absolutely need to get it the proper shots.
2- You never comb fleas or ticks out, use a shampoo first and then comb them out. Also, I hope you didn't have her inside the house while she still had fleas on her. Go and buy a 1$ shampoo, use that on the kitten.
3- Don't call a kitten "broken".
How old is she? Depending on her age, please avoid using flea medicine because it's too intense for her little body.
Vacuum any furniture/floor she's been in contact with and wash fabrics with hot water. A big part of stopping a flea problem is controlling the environment to prevent future issues. Consider isolating her in a small room until the problem is 110% cleared up.
Consider popping over to /an/, shit like this is that board's bread and butter. Also seconding >>17397039 to please not refer to this kitten as "broken." She's a cutie, reminds me of my own Captain.

She's only about 7 weeks. Knowing this I mixed natural shampoo with about five percent flea shampoo and washed her twice with it. I did do the comb thing tho with out doing that first, about a days difference. I got a lot out that way and drowned them. The room she was mainly kept in marinating in flea killing vacuum dust
