Yes, the rest should be 0.20 cc
I think it will be o.k.

Thanks
I was panicking once I realized

Well, you are right, you can't take it back! It's done, so all you can do is move forward.
If you are worried about giving that large a dose, you could skip a day, then continue.

I'll evaluate her tomorrow and decide.
I think I won't skip a day, though. It can't be THAT bad. I know sometimes vets will prescribe a larger dose of antibiotics on the first day, anyway.

.2 cc PenG today to the left Pectoral Muscle. On 2/2 I injected into her right Pectoral Muscle.

I apologize for the lack of photos yesterday. I was very busy.

Here is her comb today, before any medication today, on both sides.

Yikes. But it looks like its starting to heal. Any interest in food?

This is a great sign! Just keep doing what you're doing. One of our girls got frostbite on her comb. She was the only one i couldnt get to with the vaseline on the day it was -25 out. She has a very mild case...no blistering but discoloration. Im monitoring her in the coop since temps are reasonable here but i think she will be fine since shes not open to infection. I pray your girl is ok. Ive been checking in several times a day for her so i appreciate the updates and photos

Today's photos.
She got another shot of PenG to the right Pectoral muscle. Also she moved out of my shower and into a plastic tote in the family room.
She has a normal healthy appetite now and drinks a lot.

She is looking better. I'm glad to hear she's eating and drinking.
Hopefully the PenG is helping fight infection and she's on her way to a full recovery.

Prevention is key, but if that fails then treatment options are needed.

Now that you have seen the bad, and treated it. Sit back and see where you went bad. . and prevent it.
