Here's why:
* Safety for Kittens: Certain flea medications can be harmful to kittens, especially very young ones.
* Dosage: The appropriate dosage for a nursing mother cat may differ from a regular adult cat.
* Specific Flea Drops: Not all flea drops are safe for nursing cats. Some ingredients can be passed through the mother's milk and potentially harm the kittens.
Please reach out to your veterinarian. They can recommend the safest and most effective flea treatment for your nursing mother cat and her kittens. They will consider factors like the kittens' age, the mother's health, and the severity of the flea infestation.
Remember, your veterinarian is the best resource for ensuring the health and safety of your feline companions.
