You should not give a horse oral Penicillin. Oral Penicillin can seriously disrupt normal microorganisms in the digestive tract which can cause diarrhea and abdominal pain (colic).

It would be best to contact a equine veterinarian and possibly an equine dentist, as the tooth may need to be removed.

It is always best to take your pet into the Veterinarian and have them checked up. How do you know penicillin is the treatment of choice?

Can you give a cat durvet penicillin injectable?

NO! Only let the VET get medicine for the cat. This is not really helping to educate people on how to care for their animals. Those who raise farm animals are expected to care for their own animals. Why shouldn't pet owners also learn to take care of their animals? While you should be in contact with a veterinarian you trust, you should be able to provide basic care for your pet. Cats are mammals. Humans are mammals. When veterinarians prescribe the pink oral penicillin for cats, it is essentially the same stuff your family doctor might prescribe for a child. The only difference is the dosage. There is also an injectable form of penicillin you can get from a farm supply store if you have one in your area. This is made for larger animals and the dosage instructions are not included for a cat. It can be injected into muscle tissue or given orally. You should be able to get the correct dosage from your veterinarian.

Usually 7-10 days but it depends on breed, maturity, and method of dosing.

You also would have to be a doggie diagnostition to determine if penicillin is the drug of choice. Often, there are better (and less expensive) alternatives. Most are also available in oral doses. Consult your Vet for the most appropriate regimen.
