A Golden Retriever should not be bathed right after birth; best to wait about a month. After birth her resistance drops and the womb is open briefly, so bathing easily causes chills or secondary disease.
During this time, wipe her vulva and breasts daily with a damp towel to keep them clean and prevent bacterial disease.
