I wash my mom's backside after whelping..then wait about a week and give her a full bath. I can groom very fast and have her back in the bed, dry and clean in 30 mins...but even an hour will nto hurt...let them nurse and then do it..make sure they are on a warming pad.
More and more vets and breeders are waiting on shots...I used to start at 6 weeks..but have moves it to 8 or 9 weeks...lots of internet info on what giving too early does to the immune system..good luck |
