With regards to treatment, is weekly depocillin injections the best form of treatment or could I give shorter acting penicillins more often?

I haven&#39;t seen the rabbits yet, but they are apparently coming with dosing instructions for daily dosing, which is what confused me. How long does the treatment course last?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/122366?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 10 Oct 2014 07:38:27 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:b281f9d8-c322-4cb5-8297-fa896497557cCatherineThomas<p>You need a procaine benzylpenicillin such as depocillin or ultrapen which is given at 40,000iu/kg SC every 7 days. I&#39;ve never tried using any other formulations or dosing, Why do you want to use shorter acting forms?.You need to be really careful with using penicillins in rabbits so I wouldn&#39;t go against the recommended use. I would not use betamox LA.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
