chipperdancin:
Per vet and 2 breeder's advice, we gave Trixie a 'partial bath' (back half) the night she had her puppies. (I don't think keeping her butt matted with all those 'leftovers' would have been healthy.) We were told to use very warm water and very little shampoo. (We used Kid's shampoo w/ conditioner--mild, detangled, anti-bacterial.) She was groomed shortly before the delivery so she has not absolutely had to have a full bath yet. Plus, I don't want to stress her now by trying to put her under a hair dryer so that she will be dry/warm enough to go back to her babies. Good Luck! |
