I don't think it will work orally, and besides there is no reason not to inject it IM.

you can give penicillin sub-q (under the skin) or intramuscular (in the muscle)

Mav, agteacher is correct, and I do give my long acting pen, SC and they take it better, but I also have one dog that hates the shots.

be careful with the anti's make sure you give them right and give a full cycle or you might end up with an infection immune to the anti's, could also posibly hurt the dogs immune system.

Penicillin is probably the weakest antibiotic they have. I would recommend Clavamox, this will put a hurtin on an infection and it is only given orally. I have used this stuff and it works.

i've taken long acting penicillian orally for an ear infection (cut with water), when i couldn't get to a doc for a prescription.
it will knock the the hell out of an infection that way instantly. i HIGHLY DO NOT recommend it. it's tough to swallow and tough to keep down. you WILL find out if you are allergic to it that way. plus anybody with sense will chew your ass out if they find out you've done that. but hell, i don't like an ear infection much either, especially 80 miles from town, during a two week cow works. so yeah, i'm sure it works orally on dogs to, if they hold it down.
