She might have fungus, her ears started to lose hair,and felt something on her neck. is it safe to apply lamisil spray (terbinafine hydrochloride 1g) though she's nursing her new borns ( 10 days old)

The lamisil spray is not a good idea especially since she is nursing. She probably has mange (demodex). Follow up with your veterinarian to have the ears evaluated and before starting any medications. Some medications may be harmful to the puppies. Antifungal medications such as lamisil would potentially be harmful.
