Laceration to the leg - antibiotics needed?
Hey everyone!
Tonight, while attempting to goad Max, the neighbors new dog, into wrestling with him, Chipper grabbed Max's leg.
Max misunderstood that Chipper wanted to play and jerked back, causing a long laceration on his leg.
It cut cleanly through the skin and the muscle is showing.
We cleaned the wound and applied neosporin. It isn't bleeding anymore and I recommended to Jim to not bandage it and let it drain and dry out. (I think that's right?)
I also suggested that Jim take Max to the vet to have it looked at.
He said since it didn't appear life threatening, he felt Max would be okay.
Should Max get antibiotics anyway?
