Answer
penicillin is not only for humans and is routinely used for many
infections in many animals, including goats. Shipping fever complex
is actually not an infection, rendering the penicillin as nothing
more than a painful shot. I believe thiamine, exercise, and fresh
water is the preferred medication for shipping fever complex. For
more information, go to mylamb.com for profesional advice.
No human medicine
I would take caution in giving any animlas human medicine,
unless prescribe by a vet.
IF it is shipping fever, and IF penicillin is the treatment, the
VETERINARIAN will prescribe the dosage.

Asked in Cows and Cattle, Goats and Sheep, Zakat
How many sheep can you pay zakat on?
Sheep has 5 taxable limits: * The 1st taxable limit is 40, and
its Zakat is one sheep. And as long as the number of sheep does not
reach 40, no Zakat is payable on them. * The 2nd taxable limit is
121, and its Zakat is 2 sheep * The 3rd taxable limit is 201, and
its Zakat is 3 Sheep * The 4th taxable limit is 301, and its Zakat
is 4 Sheep * The 5th taxable limit is 400 and above, and in this
case calculation should be made in hundreds, and one sheep should
be given as Zakat for each group of 100 sheep. And it is not
necessary that Zakat should be given from the same sheep. It will
be sufficient if some other sheep are given, or money equal to the
price of the sheep is given as Zakat.
