Post dipping lameness may occur when the sheep are dipped in dirty wash, or wash which has been allowed to stand in the bath overnight or longer. It is important that the dip bath should be emptied and thoroughly cleaned at the end of each days dipping or earlier if it becomes very dirty during the day’s dipping.
