Yes you can, but very carefully.

I suggest wetting a paper towel just enough to make it moist, pour a drop of pet shampoo on and scrub gently on the puppy. Be careful around the face and ears.

Hope this helped!

Ideally the mother will clean the puppy by licking it vigorously to get the fluids off. If this is possible, such as during a C-section, you should use a clean soft towel (old hand towels work great) and gently rub back and forth all over the puppy's body until the puppy is dry. You want to apply enough pressure to gently rock the puppy, but not enough to compress anything or squish the puppy - this rubbing motion stimulates the puppy to breathe on its own and start waking up to search for his mom to nurse from.

I think the puppy has to be at least 6 weeks for it to be dewormed. I got my puppy dewormed at 6 weeks.( R.I.P hunter)
