Where should flea drops be applied on a kitten? - in detail
Apply the flea‑treatment solution directly onto the kitten’s skin, not onto the fur. The recommended site is the mid‑line of the neck, just behind the head, or the area between the shoulder blades. These locations are difficult for the animal to lick and provide a thin layer of skin for rapid absorption.
- Clean the area with a damp cloth; dry gently.
- Part the hair to expose the skin.
- Place the prescribed number of drops onto the exposed skin, spacing them a few centimeters apart if multiple drops are required.
- Allow the droplets to air‑dry for several minutes before handling the kitten.
- Keep the kitten away from other pets until the product has dried completely.
Avoid applying near the eyes, ears, mouth, or genital openings. Do not use on kittens younger than the age specified on the product label; many formulations require a minimum weight of 2 lb (≈ 0.9 kg). If the kitten has a skin condition, consult a veterinarian before treatment. Store the medication at the temperature indicated on the label and keep it out of reach of children and animals.
