RE: lice and ticks on goats

Hi, I'm a new goat owner, Fainting goats and Pygmy's. I have (2) 3 week old fainter's and saw white stuff (like dandruff and tiny round white thingies (eggs maybe) of lice. I also saw light tan colored critters on the white color fur of the baby now I am terrified that I will get lice. I read above that a vet said we could not get lice from goats, boy, I hope not. :(

I have been holding and loving, and yes, kissing on them as they are so PRECIOUS. My question is what can I put on them the babies, as they are so young, and Mommy too? I would guess I may not can treat either since the babies are nursing. The lady I got the Pygmy's from says she uses AVON SKIN SO SOFT along the back of hers and never has any problems, but I am as I said new and clueless. Sorry this is so long, but i am so concerned being new at this (only for 4 days......Thanks in advance for any help. Brenda
