Lice treatment OK for PG does??

We brought home some bred does and I just used Cylence delouser on my herd but I skipped them. I'm worried that they'll get lice bad now. You are supposed to do the whole herd at once but I was uncertain about using delouser on pregnant goats. This is the liquid (yes, it is a chemical) not powder. Does anyone know the answer to this? They are still early in their pregnancies with the one furthest along being abour 2 months along. I'm just assuming they are bred...they were pasture exposed. Thanks!!

Mine had lice and I used the Ivomec injectible orally just like I worm.No more lice does okay and babies have been coming along fine.The goats weren't miserable or anything but I itched everytime one came near me.There coats look better also.Mine were about 3 months prego
