The American Beagler Forum

Anyone use Penicillin labeled for cattle and swine on your beagles I just purchased some the label reads as follows--Penicillin G Procaine Injectable suspension I was told by the owner of the feed mill where I purchased it that his biggest users were mushers for there dogs, I am looking for a dosage and how is it given either subcutaneous or intramuscular. Thanks in advance Kurt

Sent you a PM

Sure it will work, but there are better broad spectrum antibiotics out there that can be picked up. Give it I.M.

I'm giving a young male 2cc pen-g, he had the gland under the right side of his neck swell up, 2 days and it's 1/2 size gone...

The penicillin my vet gave me is sterile penicillin G Benzothene and Pencillin G procaine. The dosage is 1 cc per 20 pounds. Can be given intermuscular or subcut. It will leave a knot when given intermuscular. The shot is good for 48 hours. Then can give more.

i have used the type your talking about with good results. i usually give 1cc under the skin in the top the neck every other day for 3 doses i have not had any problems doing this and has bailed me out a few times.

Just to clarify, you guys are giving it subcutaneous (under the skin) thanks again Kurt

I give it under the skin. But, you can give it in the muscle.
