It sounds like Ramses is getting sick but it's not likely related to the bath. Since he is so young, I recommend to have him examined by the veterinarian. Young puppies don't have the reserves of older pets so it's important to make sure they receive the correct supportive care. I hope this helps and that he recovers quickly.
