My RIR is an absolute miracle girl having survived the attack by a husky last week. I have given her 2 doses of Pen-G on consecutive days. I tried to find more information about dosing (should it be consecutive days or every other day? And what is the duration - 4 doses, 4 days, a week?), but can't find anything specific. Does anyone have information about this? Recommendations? Experience? She keeps pulling off the VetWrap and bandages, so after I clean the wounds this evening, I think I will leave them exposed. Hopefully she won't continue pecking at the wounds and draw blood.
 
Procaine penicillin G is given once a day for four days in a row. 1/4 ml given into the breast muscle using a 1/2 inch needle is a good dose dor any chicken. Other types of penicillin are given at intervals several days apart.
 
Thank you!! Just did the third day of Procaine G. Will do one more day and then let her heal.
