When to bath new born puppies?

[CyberHead]

Hi Doc,
My Sib has recently delivered 4 healthy puppies, I am just wondering when will be the best time to bath these little puppies, they are 20 days old now.

Thank you.

You can do it any time if you know how to do it and prevent them from catching a cold. If the puppy is clean, I do not think it is necessary to give a bath in this early age. You can use wet towel to clean the body if it is needed.

譯文如下:

如果你了解要如何避免狗狗得到感冒,那麼你可以在任何時候幫他洗澡,我想如果小狗還乾淨的話,我不認為在這麼小的年紀需要幫他洗澡,如果真的有需要,你可以用溼毛巾幫他擦身體

那我能順便問一下嗎
那~~犬瘟的狗 (目前約4個月) 是否也只要擦拭就好
一直到牠停藥或康復 才洗嗎

謝謝~~

I do not recommend to give a bath to any sick animal. If the body is too dirty, please use warm towel to clean it only. You don't want to give any stress when they are sick.

翻譯如下：
我不建議幫任何生病的動物洗澡，假如身體太髒的話，只需用溫暖的毛巾幫它擦拭，當動物生病的時候，不要給它們壓力。
