Personally I wouldn't.

Try putting him in a smallish rub and bath him very quickly in less than tepid water and wipe him down with kitchen roll - he'll be fine.

Yeah know about them smelling fishy - and they just wrap themselves round your neck and they don't give a damn ...

Do not put F10 - or anything else for that matter - in the water! You don't want them swallowing any form of disinfectant / antibacterial. Full stop.

Probably safe ingested in very small trace amounts, but I certainly wouldn't want to drink a cap full of it, that's for sure
