How much Penicillin do you give calves?

Answer 1

Don't give penicillin to a beef cow unless it's absolutely necessary You will need to carefully read the label as to the dosage rate (in cc's per cwt or 100 lbs) for that animal, since dosage is highly dependent on the weight of that animal.

Answer 2

Penicillin is a generic drug that has many different formulations. The amount to give a dog depends upon the infection being treated (type, location, severity), the health of the animal, the type of penicillin and the size of the animal. Your veterinarian would need to tell you how much penicillin to give your dog every time he needs penicillin, since each time the dose and the formulation may be different.

Answer 3

You need to know the weight of the calf first (maybe even the age) to know how much penicillin to give it. Better yet, contact your veterinarian to give you some tips on what medicine to use (Baytril may be the safest for your calf) and dosage rates.

Answer 4

It depends on the make and product of that penicillin. There are different companies that make different strengths of penicillin, so you need to see your local large animal vet to get a correct dosage of the amount of penicillin needed for your cow.

But, if you already have some penicillin on hand, read the label fully to see what the dosage rate is. The company ALWAYS lists what the dosage rate for a particular species of animal is. You may have to do some math to convert and calculate how many pounds per cc that you should use to administer to your cow.

Answer 6

Please check with the label on the bottle or the container it came in for directions on what dose and how long it should be given to the animal. It will always tell you what you need to know, more so than this website ever will.

Answer 7

The amount you should give will vary according to the brand of drug, the infection itself and the size of the horse. You should consult with a equine veterinarian for exact instructions.
