She got her first flea bath today as I noticed some around her eyes when she was in her typical spot on my chest. There were like twenty or so I saw. I know I definitely didn't get them all, and googled the brand shampoo (Adam's) and it is apparently very not good. She doesn't seem to be having the neurological issues I've seen reported. But my question for the Fediverse is what do y'all recommend for for treatment as the vet said she is too small for any of the typical topical stuff.

Flea comb and a dish of soapy water. Get the fleas out with the comb and drop the fleas in the soapy water. (They sink to the bottom). Try not to have bubbles in it as they can climb on them and jump out.

You’ll also want to vacuum and toss the bag or empty the canister outside when you’re done. Flea eggs are a drag. Once she’s old enough you can get drops or something that kill fleas when they get on her and it’ll be smooth sailing after that.
