How much Penicillin do you give your cat?

Answer 1

Cats can be prescribed penicillin-class antibiotics and these drugs are commonly used for certain types of infections in cats. However, the dose varies widely depending upon the size of the cat, the type of infection being treated, the location of the infection being treated, the formulation of the penicillin and the overall health status of the cat.

You would need to have your cat examined by a veterinarian and the penicillin prescribed by him/her to learn the exact dosage.

Answer 2

Pen BP-48 (each ml - 150,000 units Penicillin G. Benzathine and 150,000 units Penicillin G. Procaine) Typically used for fighting baterial infections.

For Dogs: 1 cc per 20 pounds every 48 hrs. subcutaneously

Generally this antibiotic is not recommended for cats.

Unless you have years of experience treating farm animals you should always Consult a Licensed Veterinarian before administering drugs to animals.

Remember that administering drugs to farm animals is different than administering drugs to a small animal like a dog or cat etc. The concentration of the medication for large animals is much greater than for small animals like dogs and cats and could kill a small animal.

Answer 3

Please see your small-animal vet about this. You should only be giving penicillin to a kitten (let alone any animal) if and ONLY if it has some sort of infection or illness. DO NOT give penicillin for no apparent reason!

Answer 4

Not unless very much overdosed. Penicillin kills guinea pigs, and aspirin can kill cats.

Answer 5

Whatever your veterinarian prescribes.
