Is Fight Bac teat spray okay for kids to suck on after milking?

[Fat Bottom Farm]

I started milking my alpine this morning and I got this Fight Bac teat spray in a kit I purchased and I was wondering if it will hurt the kids if they nurse after the milking.

I only do one a day milking like Fias Co Farm so the kids are up at night and then I milk in the morning then put the kids back with mom. By the time I spray, walk her to the paddock and move the kids, it is dry.

Active Ingredients: Chlorhexidine Gluconate, Glycerine

Anyone have any issues with this spray and kids? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I don't use it so I don't know. Hopefully someone else here will have an idea.

I would say no...perhaps you should google an all natural teat dip to use for now?

I use fightback but I bottlefeed. I wouldn't use a teat dip for a nursing doe.

I do use Fight Bac but I don't use it when I having nursing babies. Whether it is labeled safe or not... I don't know (you might want to call the company?). But I personally won't ever risk human or animal health around 'chemicals' of any sort.

I don't think such a small amt would be toxic but I would assume that the antiseptic properties would affect the digestion in the baby goats.

Thanks for all the advice. I appreciate the thoughts.
