Smoo was given a course of four penicillin injections after her abscess was removed. They were to be given every three days so would last two weeks. Last night was her third one and I messed it up (feeling very ill and the needle was blocked, I made it explode :?). I phoned the vets today and my vet is on holiday so spoke to someone else. I said I'd messed it up and would I need to come and get another one or is there any way she can have one of Grim's. Grim is on depocillin and Smoo is on another type. I asked if my closer vets could make me up a depocillin one for her so I didn't have to come all the way and if that would be okay. She said don't worry about giving her the last injection if she seems fine in herself. She'll be okay and if she's not she'll need another course so would have to come in for a check up.
What is your view on this? I want her to have the last injection on the course because this is about keeping the jaw abscess at bay. If it's not killed properly it might come back. But then it might come back anyway. Grim is on repeat prescription so I could give her one of Grim's. She weighs a little more than him so the dose would be slightly too low, and it's a different penicillin.
I'm just worried about cutting the dose short. My vet is back on Monday, the day after Smoo is due her last injection, so I could ring her then and ask if I could just pick up another one and she could have it a day late.
