My rat is lactating, but she has mites and it turns out she needs a parasite spot on thing by Xeno. Has anybody used the spot on when the babies are 5 and 6 days old? I want to treat her, but I'm worried it will affect the babies if it goes through her milk and gets to them. She isn't desperately in need yet, but if she becomes desperate she may need the treament. The company said they have never done any officail studies on the use of Spot On on pregnant and lactating females, and they said they probably have used it on them and they have never encountered a problem that they know of.
Is it safe to use it when the babies are 1 weeks and over?
