The second is first vacc's for pups. I have read everything I can find on the subject and a lot of stuff contradicts itself. I am just curious as to what some of you do - how old for first ones and which ones? I know most everyone is waithing until 8 weeks now.

The babies are 1 week and two days old and are gaining weight and are beautiful little wiggle worms and at their vet visit everything went fine and they are all healthy as can be

I gave my mom a bath about a week after the birth of her pups but did clean her bottom up before that. As far as vaccinations, my vet won't do them until the puppies are 8 weeks old. I thought that was late but it sesems to be the consensus now.
