| Personally, I don't like bathing Chewy a lot. He is 5 months next week and I just gave him his first proper bath. previously he just got hygeine baths and wiped with babywipes. Now that his hair is getting longer and he will be outside more i will probably only do it every 3 weeks or so. I wouldn't bathe a puppy too much at first. They get cold and nervous and when their hair is short I just don't think they need it. JMO |

| Girl, don't beat yourself up. There is no correlation between bathing and intestinal disorders. you did nothing wrong. |

| We just got in trouble (not really) from the vet for bathing Buddha a week after his neuter surgery. They didn't tell us not to but I guess I should have known. I try to bsthe them once a week but I didn't bathe at all until they were 12 weeks minimum and then very carefully making sure they stay warm the whole time. |

| I started to give Linus weekly baths once he was 12 weeks, but before that I gave it to him when he got especially dirty (mud or rolling in his food...he did that a lot to his wet food). He's going through a greasy phase so he really needs it now
