1. Flea comb and even a bath with mild pet shampoo will kill what is on her and is safest.

but even a flea shampoo will not repel fleas from coming back. Only kills what is on her. But she'll be clean and free of live fleas for the moment.

The problem is if she goes back outside or if she's brought them inside--in which case you are going to need to wash bedding and treat areas where she has been.

Given her frailty that would be the safest. But it will obviously afford her no repellent for further fleas. But if she is that sick I wouldn't think you'd be letting her outside where she could be reinfested.

Good luck and may you treasure your time with her.
