    Wash the kitten gently with baby soap. Gently scrub her and then rinse her out really well. Keep doing it over and over until all the fleas are out.

    Source(s): I had a similar issue. I talked to a vet, this is what she told me.

    DO NOT USE DAWN DISH SOAP......IT HAS A DE-GREASER AS ONE OF THE INGREDIENTS AND CAN SERIOUSLY AFFECT THE KITTEN ADVERSELY.

    A kitten that small must be cared for by a vet's nurse or vet as their skin, eyes etc. are VERY sensitive. Take this kitty to the vet. Do NOT use OVER THE COUNTER MEDS from a pet store as they too can be very dangerous to such a small kitten.

    i would take the little kitten to the vets and see what they think, because they would help you!

    or maybe at the pet store you could find medicine especially for kittens?

    good luck!

    like the other lady said use baby shampoo or dawn dish soap that works great!!
