can i use milk from a goat that has had termycin powder?

I just put some antibiotic powder in the goats water, can I still use the milk, and if not, for how long can I not use it?

The package of antibiotics should list a withdraw time on it. I would not use the milk until you find the withdraw time.

Yes, check the packaging. The label I found online said it contains Tetracycline - for which the milk withdrawal is 12-18 days after the last dosage. Are you giving her probiotics? It's a good idea to do so any time you're giving antibiotics.
