I was wondering at what age is it safe to bathe a yorkie puppy. Also, I have a puppy from my litter that has some crust, scabs on the back of his neck. I don't see fleas there but have picked two off of him already. Think it's fleas or biting from the other two in the litter?

Other than giving the momma a bathe every week (she goes outside)I cannot flea control her until she finishes nursing, or can I? She doesn't lay with them anymore only stands there to nurse them for a minute or so.

Any advise on the above would be helpful. They will be 8 weeks on 1/25. Thank you
