Dewormed goat - can milk be used in soap?

I know that may seem like a silly question - but I can't think of any reason why it couldn't be used to make soap.

I used Valbazen this morning and so we have a 5-7 day milk withdraw. I would like to save the milk for soap as opposed to dog food - but wanted to make sure before I go to the trouble of saving it. I have a couple half gallons that she stepped in that I have saved, too - seems like these would be okay for soap as well).

Thanks!

I wouldn't hesitate to use it for soap.
Valbazen pretty much only gets tapeworms(at the 1 cc per 10 lbs dosage), so be sure you are covering stomach worms with something else.

oh. Thank you for this. That was one of my questions and I should have asked it. The lady who sold me the goat suggested Valbazen since the goat is milking. She suggested 1 cc per 20 lb so that is all I gave.....

What would you suggest for the other worms? I have Ivomec that I used on the rest of the "herd" (all three of them) But, I think that has a 30 day withdraw.....?

Thank-you!
