The bottle states it is for both subQ and IM usage.


I am treating some form of eye infection that thus far has been impervious to daily washing with water, then to daily eye ointment application, then to antibiotics in the drinking water. I am now giving an actual penicillin shot a chance to see if that will clear it up. I hate to do this, as I am actually quite allergic to penicillin myself, but short of taking them to the vet, I don't see another course of action.


Of course, this is affecting only 2 of my some 40 animals, and both are top show does entered in 2 weeks at the lop national convention. They are at least 15 feet away from each other in the barn, and none of their neighbors have it, so apparently it is not airborne.


Both does were born and raised here, so I doubt it is some type of allergen. I am really at a loss as to what it is, why they have it, or how they got it.


Hopefully it will only take a shot or two to get it cleared up. I don't like to doctor my animals, but I feel both of these does are worth the effort. I plan to give the first shot either today or tomorrow, and will continue depending on how it seems to affect the eye problem.
