It has been 5 days since the dog gave birth to a puppy, and it smells so bad. I read many posts that it is best to wash it again in one month. Some say it can be washed in two weeks, and some say it can be washed in one week, because it is my dog’s first time giving birth, and I have no experience. I ask you how long it takes to take a bath after giving birth.
After the dog mother takes a bath, the puppy will not get used to it because the puppy relies on smell to identify the mother. Once the puppy takes a bath, the smell will be wrong.
It is also possible that the puppy will not eat the mother's breasts. The puppy opens his eyes for about 10 days, but even if it is opened, he still cannot see things. It will take about 20 days to slowly see them.
After the dog has given birth, pay attention to the dog's calcium supplement. Each time the bitch produces, it will cause a large loss of calcium in the bitch itself. If the dog is really dirty, you can go to the pet store to buy dry cleaning powder for your dog for pets. It is not recommended to wash the puppy before getting vaccinated.
