As most of you know, Milo has a scratched cornea, I don't want to put her in her dust bath just in case anything from the dust caused the scratch, just because shes still has the ointment for her eyes and she hasn't gone in for a check up yet. She smells like pee all over and is oily. Would you recommend giving her a full bath?
 
No, do not give her a water bath. Usually water baths are only given to chins who have gotten something spilled on their fur, or if they are absolutely covered in urine. If she smells like urine, you should clean her cage more often. The ointment will make her fur oily but she will be fine until the treatment ends and she can take a dust bath.
