Re: [roho] How much penicillin [In reply to]	Can't Post

First off, I wouldn't be giving a horse antibiotics without even knowing what the horse has. Your friend really needs to consult a vet to determine what is wrong with the horse, and if in fact it warrants antibiotics.
The amount given would depend on the strength of the Penicillin he purchased. It is normally one cc per every 100 pounds.
If he/she doesn't have a clue on needle size, dosage, etc., I would highly recommend this person call a vet. In my opinion, they have no business doing an inject of any kind on a horse.

Thanks for reply Becky,
Friend did call a vet, after he bought the medicine at feed store! I think the vet told him what amount to give in one measure( like cc vs mm???) and the needle had different measure on it! I'm not sure of that thou! Yeah vet suggestion would be best advise, BUT!
Anyway another question then, If a human gets allergys to ragweed, wouldn't horses too? It's ragweed allergy weather down here on the Texas Gulf coast and weather reports gives allergy allerts with ragweed reports! A couple of the horses look like they have ragweed allergies, just like me!

"Respiratory allergies are also common, especially in horses subjected to environmental dusts and pollens. Allergic respiratory disease or heaves (also called recurrent airway obstruction) is classified into two main types. One type is caused by dusty/ moldy hay or bedding; the other type is most common in the southeastern U.S., affects horses on summer pasture, and is caused by pollens."

The above quote is from a article in THE HORSE magazine from 12/04 written by Heather Smith Thomas

I have noticed with our Appaloosa when MY allergies are bad he is standing there with a runny nose also, coincidence ? probably , but it has gone away without the need for antibiotics.

Thanks UncleBuck! sounds good to me! BUT I don't think I'll try any of my nose spray on ole Champ! Shed cleaning is bad enough and I draw the line on anything else! & when I talk bout shed, I ain't in the barn! Pirate
