My dog still has ticks after Bravecto. Can I bathe her today?

Question

I saw that one of my dogs had ticks so I bought her bravecto and gave it to her 2 days ago. Today when I checked her she still has ticks. Can I shower her with a tick repellent shampoo today or do o have to wait? The shampoo is “de flea”. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | 5 years old | 15 lbs

The ticks might still be attached but should be dead and very easy to remove. If it was an oral Bravecto it is fine for her to get a bath and I would think that regular shampoo should be fine. If it was a topical dose you need to wait 3 days after application to give a bath. You could manually remove the ticks or try using a flea comb.
