Expert Answer

Bichon deworming is internal or external. For topical, wait at least 3 days, since the drug spreads via skin glands in 2 to 3 days; bathing sooner loses drug and reduces effect.

Internal deworming does not conflict with bathing. But if the Bichon is infected with parasites, wait until fully dewormed, since resistance is low then and bathing risks illness.
