Here's the thing, I have 8 puppies in my backyard going on 9 weeks.All of them have sores and bumps from fleas and mosquitos. However, we can't wash them with any dog wash because majority say that the puppies have to be atleast 12 weeks or older. I'm really scared for them because I don't want them to scratch and bite all of their hair off. HELP!!

So, in conclusion, youre saying that theres nothing I can do without having to go to the vet? I mean, I am not able to take 8 puppies to the vet. My husband worms them and they are up to date with their shots but I honestly don't know whats going on with their skin. Not one puppy is sick,they play, and none are weak. If there was some type of medicine for that and it was easy to get, I'd go that route.

Okay, I've picked all of the fleas but would it be okay if i were to give them a bath using mild soap for their skin? If not, then whats te best thing i should do? I know that I can go to the vet, but if there was something I could do without having to, I would.
