My vet has recommended taktic dip solution so I'm not understanding for how long should I keep the solution or when should I bathe her after applying it?

I have never used this product myself, but here is the usage information as posted on the manufacturer's web site, for guidance: http://www.msd-animal-health.co.za/products/taktic_dip_for_dogs/020_product_details.aspx If your vet is recommending this product for treatment of demodectic mange, I would recommend calling him for guidance beyond what is present in the manufacturer's information, as this is off-label use of the product and legally I can't guide you without having examined Spoty myself.
