Can I feed this milk to goat kids?

Can I feed the milk from my alpine to the kids? She has been treated with Tomorrow and Pen G.

I know the withholding time for our consumption, but wanted to see if it was okay to give to her kids.

From what I've read, yes. The antibiotic from the Tomorrow is absorbed, and the carrier which is an oil remains. I would discard the milk following the last infusion since I wouldnt' want all that oil in the kids. The pen G is mainly urinated out and with the high metabolism of goats, not much goes in the milk.
Another way to look at it is if the kids needed a sulfa or pen g, for some reason, then it is safe for them anyway.
