Hi everyone

I currently have one 7 month kitten, and adopted four 8 week old ones (looking after them untill their new owners are ready for them).

They are all a delight, impeccible toilet manners, etc.

One of the babies has a baldish patch on her belly. They are still a bit young for flea treatment, but so far after a good comb, I cant find any evidence of eggs.

Then i noticed that the other three love to suck on their siblings teat/nipple on this kittens belly. When I try to pull them away, they have really really latched on to her teat, and will not let go. As they all do it, I think this is why she's losing hair and I am worried as it is looking pink.

What can I do to help her?

Hi YukiI haven't had this prob, could be way off beam here,being a she and that she's 7 mths old she could be a plucker-which could be that because she's hormonal and is frustrated she may be "Over grooming" her bellySome girls do this but i may be wrong but worth i think investigating

we did a super intense investigation and yes there were some fleas on her! phew! I am glad it is not a horrid skin infection just fleas which we can treat! thanks!

I'm glad to hear that it was a simple problem

Hope you got shut of the fleas cos if one had them they all will have them, you may also have to spray the carpet or flooring where they have been
