    If you're using an organophosphorous dip, you're advised not to dip or dose for two weeks, I know from experience if you dip a ewe with a cut, ie shearing, she can get poisoned, don't know about dose

    They advise to leave it around 3 weeks after shearing. I suppose the more wool on the ewe the more dip can be absorbed.
