Help Please..... Penicillin dosage

How much penicillin g procaine to give a 2lb rabbit?

I've treated rabbits that size for vent disease with PenG and I gave them about 1/2 cc.

I have treated 5 lb rabbits with 1/4cc 1 time a day for 7 days.

Not trying to cause confusion, but apparently there is a bit of variableness for PenG. There are different regimens, as well. I basically just picked one and went with it.

That's basically what I'm doing. Just to make sure I'm understanding you correctly you meant 1 through 4 cc and not .1cc through .4cc?<br /><br />__________ Mon Oct 21, 2013 12:26 am __________<br /><br />

How many times a day and for how many days?

1/4cc would be one-fourth of 1cc. Or .25cc, as another way to write it.

oh gosh I feel so stupid! I don't know why I thought you meant 1-4 cc. Thank you for the explanation.

Don't worry about it at all! I figured you were probably just tired. My brain does all sorts of things like that when I'm tired!
