This will depend on the penicillin product you are using and the type of condition you are treating. Different products contain different concentrations of the drug and even different forumlations which require different dosages. There is often a dosing range and the veterinarian makes a recommendation on the dose to use in a given situation based upon the type of condition/infectious organism being treated. Consult your veterinarian to determine an appropriate dosage in a given situation or if penicillin is even the appropriate drug for use in that situation.

∙ 11y agoThis will vary widely depending upon the formulation of penicillin (K-Pen vs Pen G, for example), the route of administration, the bacteria being treated, the location of the infection and the overall medical status of the horse. Also, in the vast majority of countries, penicillin is only to be used under the instruction of a veterinarian who has seen the horse and prescribed penicillin for it. Therefore, your best source of information for this will be your prescribing veterinarian.
