On the bright side, Mama continues to thrive.

Mookie, however, is back inside again:

No sooner did Mama finish her antibiotics three days ago then I noticed that the back of Mookie's right rear leg was bloody. I did not see him for almost two days until yesterday afternoon. He was limping and not able to climb well. So, I bent down so he could get on my arm, then took him inside.
It does not seem a terrible wound, not even sure it is abscessed. But since Mookie is not a chewer, it is easy enough to keep him on my sun porch for a bit. I started him on clavamox last night, and also applying derma gel to the wound.
I think the limping is mostly just not wanting to put weight on the wound, rather than leg damage, but better safe than sorry.
My only question here is this: If the wound proves superficial and heals fairly quickly, do I need to keep him on clavamox a full 10 days?
