Question
how soon can i bathe my westie after she gives birth? she is in great need of a bath

Answer
Hi Irene. I'm sorry in the delay in getting back to you. You can go ahead and give her a quick bath if you haven't already. I just wouldn't use any shampoo on her for the pup's sake. A good bath will probably make her feel better after whelping. Good luck!
