Goat milk?

Question

I have a goat that i mild that i am presently giving penicillin to due to an abcess. Someone told me not to drink the milk while she's on the penicillin. What will it do to you if you do drink it?

Answer 1

All medications have a milk withdrawal time, including penicillin.  The doe should still be milked to keep production up, but the milk should be discarded during the withdrawal time.  The withdrawal time for Pen G is 14 days minimum, and the withdrawal time for Twin Pen is 25 days minimum.

I can't tell you exactly what would happen to you if you drank it anyway, however there would not be a withdrawal time if it wasn't necessary, so I definitely wouldn't risk it.  You also shouldn't drink it if she ever has an abscess located in her udder.

Answer 2

Well it would get into her milk and you would essentially be taking penicillin. I'm not sure what it does if you take it when you don't need it, but you should also consider that animals don't take the same doses as people, so you might also be taking too much of it. It might also taste bad.

Answer 3

wait till it clears up dry.. than u can drink all ya want.
