Title: Sick Pup Post by: sgt.davis on February 07, 2010, 08:12:57 pm I have a 1/2 pit 1/2cat and he is 7.5 weeks old. They was weined at 4 weeks,WAY to early. I got two pups and one is just not growing good. Today went out to feed them and the small one had one eye matted shut and the other one almost shut. I put antibiotic drops in his eye and gave him some Peniclin. The problem is the peniclan went under the skin and not IM. Will it still help because he is so sick and dehiderated he has no muscle to give it in.

He passed some worms today.Its been two weeks since his last worming so I wormed him again. Today he is doing 100% better. He is on the fast track to recovery.
