Expert Answer

Wait at least 3 days, ideally a week, after a bath before applying external dewormer, because the medication spreads through the skin’s sebaceous glands and bathing strips those oils, making treatment incomplete. So do not deworm externally right after a bath; wait 3-7 days for oils to return. For internal deworming, if the dog is fine after the bath, it can be done the next day.
