Can you give Penicilin to a pregnant ewe if she shows signs of Mastitis?

Penicillin is safe for pregnant ewes and can be used to treat clinical cases of mastitis (inflammation of the mammary glands) during gestation. This is because penicillin crosses the placenta in low concentrations, so the fetus is exposed to a low level of the medication when given to the ewe. This low concentration is not typically harmful to the fetus, and penicillin is widely used for mastitis in pregnant ewes with few reports of adverse effects. However, it's always a good idea to consult a veterinarian before administering any medications to pregnant ewes, as proper dosage, timing, and potential risks should be carefully considered for the safety and well-being of both the ewe and the fetus.
