Answer

penicillin is not only for humans and is routinely used for many infections in many animals, including goats. Shipping fever complex is actually not an infection, rendering the penicillin as nothing more than a painful shot. I believe thiamine, exercise, and fresh water is the preferred medication for shipping fever complex. For more information, go to mylamb.com for profesional advice.

No human medicine

I would take caution in giving any animlas human medicine, unless prescribe by a vet.

IF it is shipping fever, and IF penicillin is the treatment, the VETERINARIAN will prescribe the dosage.

The dose rate that your veterinarian has prescribed - the bottle should also have a label on it indicating what the dose rate is for the different species of animal it is registered for - this will also depend on whether it is a short-acting or long-acting penicillin.

To give penicillin you need to know what the illness is, what breed of goat you have, the weight , age and gender of the goat. Remember when giving medication it is always important to first talk in person with a livestock veterinarian.

Whatever. One mL per 100 lbs. of body weight is a good rule of thumb that covers just about any critter.
