Here is a site with natural flea remedies, BUT I would look the
ingredients over carefully I know some essential oils can be dangerous
to cats, you may want to have your vet contact a holistic specialist and
ask if all of the ingredients are safe for kitties.

and keep doing that till no diarrhea.

Yes on both questions about interferon. On the shots, your kitten is too young for rabies, so I hope you did not get that. I would go ahead with the fvrcp because you don't want to take chances with distemper, etc... I assume, since he tested positive the vet didn't do a leukemia shot? W
Sheila,
I know many people that simply flea comb their cats daily. It works! If you're obsessive compulsive like myself you'll even enjoy it. lol. Good luck!
Also, when I get a flea on the comb I usually drop it into a coffee mug of hot soapy water or rubbing alcohol to kill it.
