    My vet gave Eleanor an injection of Crystiben antibiotic today and I am wondering if anyone here has experience with this?
    I googled it and the nearest I can find is Crystipen....Vet said Crystiben is a three day lasting penicillin, but I can't find any info on Crystipen injection lasting 3 days.

    None. It is listed in the UK here. Looks like it could be off label for cats.

    I found this article on Crystiben, but I don't see anywhere it says it lasts 3 days....everything I see says it should be repeated 2 to 6 times per day

    Crystiben is a brand name for penicillan G. As well as being available in different strength capsules, it is also available "in many different injectable concentrations." I would imagine maybe one of those could be a three-day dose.
