I can't see why a bath would hurt - it's not like he's going to catch a virus from water... When are you going to the vet next? I'd just ask the vet to see if there is some reason we're not thinking of, but, really, I can't imagine why it would be a problem. Bath time is traumatic, especially the first bath, so I'd start by just doing his private areas and legs - don't do the head the first time. That'll make it easier. Or, you could fill a little plastic tub or sink with an inch or so of soapy water and just do his paws.
