Appreciate the question — let's unpack this. If you've noticed tiny bugs on your kitten, it's possible they could be lice, but they could also be fleas or mites. Lice on kittens look a bit like tiny, tan or white specks that might be crawling on their fur, mainly around the neck and rump.
At such a young age, it’s important to be very gentle with any treatment. Regular bathing with warm water and a kitten-safe, gentle soap can help wash away lice and soothe your kitten’s sensitive skin. Make sure to dry your kitten thoroughly afterward to prevent them from getting chilled. Carefully comb through the fur with a fine-toothed comb to remove remaining lice or eggs.
Monitor your kitten for signs of distress such as excessive scratching, loss of fur, or red, irritated skin. These may indicate a more serious infestation or infection, which could require professional veterinary treatment to ensure your kitten remains healthy and comfortable.
If you're noticing any of these signs or if you're feeling uncertain about your kitten's condition, it’s best to book a video consultation with a Dial A Vet professional. They can provide personalized guidance for your kitten’s specific needs and ensure they receive the necessary care.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
