Hi all. I have a sick gilt. Symptoms are similar to pneumonia or bronchitis. Coughing, labored breathing, lethargic, loss of appetite. I happen to have Dura-Pen from Durvet on hand. It's the 150k penicillin G P and 150k Penicillin G B inject-able stuff. My question is can I use it for swine. It says for beef cattle only, but the ingredients are all found in other swine remedies.

Any vets or vet techs...or even more experienced people....capable of chiming in? Thank you!

A lot of meds are used "off label" for other animals. I don't know if this is one of them in the case of using for pigs. Do you have a good relationship with your vet where you could call tomorrow morning and ask them? I've often just had phone consults with my vet. Best wishes.
