Amoxicillin falls into the group of Penicillin type antibiotics and can be used for most of the same things. 500 mg is a common dosage for horses but it would be best to contact an equine vet and ask for specifics as it would be impossible to cover all the variables here. That being said however, seeing as 500 mg is a common dosage typically given every 8 hours, there shouldn't be too much harm in giving a horse of that weight Amoxicillin, provided it is to be used as an antibiotic, remember if the horse is displaying flu like symptoms, those are caused by a virus and an antibiotic will have absolutely no effect on them.

Most times it works itself out when the abcesses rupture and then the horse recovers without a problem, the only reason to treat it with anitbiotic or by draining the abcess is when a horse is doing very badly and if not treated will die.
