Best Answer

Penicillin is not always needed after a mare gives birth. Penicillin is a antibiotic used to fight bacterial infections, so unless a equine veterinarian says the mare needs it it would be best not to give it. If the vet gives it the OK then they will give you appropriate instructions.

That depends on what is wrong with the horse, the age and how you are giving the medicine. I use tablets of tetramyicin for cows when my horses have an infection that will not go away. I use the same weight as if it were a cow. That size horse (if memory serves me) was about three tablets (750 mg) a couple of times a day, but watch for colic..

Penicillin can cause issues so you don't give them it for nothing or minor issues.
