A general forum for the discussion of hunting with beagles, guns, clothing and other equipment and just talking dawgs! (Tall tales on hunting allowed, but remember, first liar doesn't stand a chance)
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
Not afraid to think outside the box or walk outside the crowd.
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.
