Hi Everyone,
I was hoping I could get a little helpful advise. I recently found out that my brother and ex-husband had bred their yorkies. Being silly people, they honestly thought that they could just leave the dogs alone and nature would take care of things.
Since neither of them are home very often, I flipped when I found out. Being the type of person I am, I scolded them both and confiscated the dam, Rosie. (It wasn't that hard. They thought I was foolish, but where glad not not have to be responsible for her.)
So... I quickly read up everything I could on whelping. Her due date was April 18th. But SUPRISE!!!! I became a puppie Momma... Grandma... guardian... yesterday! (I'm not sure what I am to these little guys, except the only responsible human
)
I had the vet prepared, but Rosie did fantastic. I now have four beautiful babies, two boys and two girls. Mommie and puppies are doing fantastic.
But here is my question... Everything seems good. I have Rosie and the puppies scheduled to go into the vet tomorrow for their check-ups. But .. and I know this sounds shallow.... Rosie is so stinky!
I've read that I can't bath her for a week. I have tried wiping her down with scent free baby wipes, but it just isn't doing anything. How wet can I get her and what is safe to use to help clean her up?
I am trying to make sure I do everything by the book and make this a pleasant experiance for all of us. Any advise would be greatly apriciatated!
