You should give a penicillin shot in the fat under the skin, not IM or in the muscle. Due to possible complications resulting from shots in dogs, I would reccomend injecting it into the fat under the skin in the leg. Grab the skin/fur on the hip, pull it away from the body a little bit (don't hurt the dog) and inject it underneath the skin between the skin and muscle. Be sure all air has been expelled from the needle, and be ready to apply some pressure to the plunger on the needle. Penicillin is very thick and may require some force to inject thru the needle.

2nd Answer: Never treat your dog at home with antibiotics when you do not know what is going on. It should always be done under a Veterinarian's care. You need to take your dog to see your Veterinarian to check it out. The Vet will know what the proper medication is to treat your dog with & the proper dosage for your dog. Don't try to give your dog any medication at home. You don't know if penicillin is appropriate for your dog's condition nor the proper dosage or if your dog is allergic to penicillin. 1st Answer: Yes you can but just a small amount. 1 CC per 100 pounds. Give the shot in the hip or thigh muscle. WARNING do not inject in a vein! When you insert the shot pull back on the syringe. If you see blood then take it out and insert the needle somewhere else.
