Last night my little lamb, 1 1/2 months old or so came running over with blood pouring down his face. I looked and there is a deep gash just in front of his horn, either something sliced him there or he got a horn caught and it split.

He's had his 1st cdt and I was going to get him some penicillin. How much should I give him and how many times? He is already sold so I need him to get better! I'm guessing if I can keep infection out it should heal up fine?

It should heal up just fine. If you see flies around it you may want to put some ointment on it, but it probably doesn't need anything. The blood is always worse than it looks.
