I gave first water bath to my pet when he was 3 months. Before that was using dry shampoo etc

Preferably not, you can give a full wet bath after 3 months of age. For now you can give a sponge bath or use some dry shampoo for cleaning.

Thank you Doctor, I am using dry shampoo, once in a week, is that frequency fine?

Yes please, once in a week should be fine. Sometimes cleaning too often can cause the skin to become very dry and that leads to secondary infections. With this it would also be important for you to brush your puppy regularly and trim the fur around the eye.

Hi doctor i noticed a patch on the skin(on leg) of my dog. It's only in that place, there's no such thing in other places. Can you please suggest anything. Attached the image.
