Pen G followup for Kitten

we had a stray that had watery, goopy eyes and the runs.

I gave an .5ml injection of Pencillin G, about a week ago. It was much better right away and improved significantly for several days, but has started to turn down again.

Should I have administered a follow up dosage (or more) and if so, what should it be?

I'd repeat the dosage you used every day or two until it clears up

Try a google search for dosage. I have managed to find dosages for meds for pets that way.

When vets have prescribed antibiotics for kittens of mine, usually amoxicillin, it is to be given according to directions for 7 or 10 days.
