Hopefully that will do it! Kind of expensive, but cheaper than vet visits every couple months, and I got a pretty good deal on Chewy. The "Duoxo" brand had a version, too, but it only had 4/5 stars. The Dechra shampoo had 5/5.

She fights baths so much* that it's too dangerous at home, so I take her to a pet store that has a self-wash area with several tubs. Even there, she has broken free and run naked through the store--making a bee-line to the exit. Fortunately, she hasn't left the store yet (people at the registers or I catch her).

I tried to barricade the bathing area the last time with whatever objects were nearby, but she just plowed through. I'll do a better job next time.

* and yet she'll hop into any body of water out in the community/loves swimming.
