It all depends of what kind of infection, type of antibiotics and the horse. Some need more time than others.
But once any antibiotic treatment has begun, even for the mildest of minor infections, what is the timeframe for the antibiotics to clear a horse's system?

Are there antibiotics that would clear within a few days if the horse was only treated for a day or two?
