When can you bathe the mother shitzu after giving birth?

It's generally recommended to wait at least 2-4 weeks after giving birth before bathing a mother Shitzu. This allows her time to fully recover and regain her strength. During this time, you can use a damp cloth to wipe her down and keep her clean. Be sure to avoid getting water near her nipples, as this could lead to infection. When you do bathe her, use warm water and a mild shampoo designed for dogs. Be gentle and avoid scrubbing her too hard, as this could cause discomfort. Rinse her thoroughly and dry her well with a towel.
