Penicillin needs to be injected intramuscular so the breast works really good or divide the dose into two and do one shot in each leg up in the muscle
Penicillin is usually given to a horse with an injection. However, it can also be given orally as well as topically.

Yes
i don't recommend it.
Penicillin is not always the best drug to give to a horse, you should consult with your equine veterinarian to get an exact idea of what medicine should be used for the ear infection.
Subcutaneously means uinder the skin.
A horse should be given penicillin when a veterinarian determines the horse has a bacterial infection that will respond to the penicillin.
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). For an abscessed tooth you may need to give Injectable Penicillin, but never oral. It would be best to contact a equine veterinarian and possibly an equine dentist, as the tooth may need to be removed.
You should not give horses Penicillin for a cold, as a cold is caused by a virus and Penicillin is an Antibiotic and is not designed to treat a cold. You must let the cold run it's course, just like in a human.
No, penicillin should never ever be given orally.
Fuuck no, you cuunt.
The amount of penicillin and the length of time to give it will vary somewhat with the brand used. It would be best to consult with a equine veterinarian regarding dosage and length of use.
The horse would have a reaction to the Penicillin almost immediately. It is best to get away from a horse that has been wrongly injected with Penicillin as the horses brain will be affected and it will flip over backwards. There is no antidote for this, but you should call a equine veterinarian immediately.
First you should have a farrier and veterinarian come out and inspect the hoof for deeper infection. Once this has been done the equine vet will be able to give you exact dosage and time limits on the penicillin.
