What is the right dose for 30 lb dog using injectable penicillin?

Answer 1

The dose varies depending upon the dog's health status, the concentration of the penicillin, the location of the infection and the type of bacteria causing the infection. Your veterinarian will prescribe what your dog needs after an examination. Incidentally, Pen-G (the specific drug you reference) is primarily used in livestock, not in dogs.

2nd Answer:

You should only give your pet medications under a Veterinarian's care. Take your dog in to be checked out by a Veterinarian. You cannot rely on someone off of the internet to give you the correct dosage. How do you know that your dog is not allergic to penicillin or that it is the correct antibiotic to be using? Only a Vet would know what to treat your dog with. Go to your VET if you truly love your pet.

Note: If you work for a Veterinarian, I am sure he or she would fire you for giving this answer over the internet, shame on you!
