Well let me rant for a moment...what kind of breeder would let a Pyr Pup 
go at 5 WEEKS?   Pups have so much to learn from their dam and 
littermates up until 8-10 weeks.  Arrrgh!

As to the fleas, give the pup a warm bath with some gentle doggie 
shampoo in the kitchen sink, wrap in a towel and keep warm and rub 
until dry.  The shampoo should take care of the fleas. I would not use 
any flea shampoos and honestly, just a bath at this age should take care 
of it.   Also Please be aware of the latest vaccine protocol which I have 
linked below.  Keep your sweet pup at home and away from exposure to 
any other dogs.  This baby should still be with the litter and mum Pyr :(
