Question LA-200/Bottle Baby question

Hi all,

We have a doe that gave birth to triplets 6 days ago...two were born dead, the remaining buckling we took inside and bottled. The following day she developed pink eye, so was put on LA-200. We gave her a 3cc dose 1xday for four days, and things cleared right up. We milked her out today for the first time since the birth, and are wondering if we can use that milk for the buckling. I know that LA-200 is not to be used on kids under 6 months, but would it be passed through the milk from the doe?

Thanks!

It will be fine. Very little gets in the milk.
