Congratulations on your new babies. Good job Momma! I would not give her a bath just yet. If you feel she really needs it, when the babies are asleep, fill a pot with warm water and gently wash her with a washcloth. Try not to get her too wet. Towel dry her and if needed, blow dry her as best you can. You do not want to get her too wet so the babies don't get chilled. If she keeps trying to leave her whelping box to follow you, you may need to lay there with her for a day or two. Once her milk comes in good, she should stay with them better. Good luck and congratulations again. |
