I think most people use water.
I use triple antibiotic if I've got it handy.

I would avoid using anything other than water if you are probing animals that are going to be used for a breeding project in the near future. Many substances and/or chemical carriers show various degrees of spermicidal activity. Water is your best bet.

Kelly makes a great point.I'm only speaking about probing babies or young adults.Lar M

Babies or young nonadults.Lar M

Yes. I agree. Chances are good it will impare reproductive abilities in the short term. Don't recommend it on potential breeders.
