You don't want to give your cat penicillin. If the cat has a puncture wound, it will become or already has become an abscess. That is where the wound does not heal properly from the inside out and closes over with the infection trapped inside. Take your cat into a Veterinarian to have it checked out. Normally they will clean out the abscess and put a penrose drain in it so it can continue to drain out the infection & then heal properly from the inside to the outside. The Vet will also put the cat on antibiotics, the proper ones for that type of infection.

How much norocillin can you give your puppy for a urine infection?

None - norocillin is a penicillin-class antibiotic formulated as an injectable medication. Without confirming your puppy has a urinary tract infection, and without knowing what bacteria are causing this infection, giving a random antibiotic could make your puppy very sick. In general, puppies don't get urinary tract infections; those that do often have congenital malformations of the perineal (under the tail) area that need to be corrected surgically to prevent recurrent UTIs. However, for UTIs that do happen, the most common bacteria are Gram negative intestinal flora such as E. coli. These bacteria are generally not susceptible to penicillin-class drugs.
