u got good tips in the above posts, ive never thought of putting cotton in the ears before the bath to prevent water from getting in the ears so i will do that next time, i take Chelsey in the shower with me so i can hold her against me when it gets too much for her, also i keep talking to her it seems to calm her, the water should be lukewarm, i regulate the water to 36c, u can feel the water temp. better on ur own wrist like u would fix a baby bath, when we done we get out and i wrap her up in warmed up towels and keep her in there for a few minutes before i dry her, she hates the hairdryer
i use conditioner while drying her, when shes dry i put her in her bathrobe and keep her there for an hour then i put on her pjamas to keep her warm and pop her into bed.
make sure the rooms are warmed up real well and keep Rocky warm, their temprature drops quickly, they are a lot smaller wen they wet, i know when i bathed Chelsey for the first time i was like oops
mg: this looks like a mouse, was kinda scary to see how small she really was..... now its become routine and its a lot easier after a few times i shower her every week and wash her everyday i also brush her teeth everyday so she gets used to it, we all know that our furbabies can get bad teeth at a later stage so this way i am trying to prevent that
relax urself while ur bathing him that way u will both feel at ease and remember, u are allowed to make mistakes, we all do
Goodluck, i know ur gonna do just fine
and Rocky will love the afterbath time treat
