I have to say I agree with Grace, you are supposed to always finish a course of antibiotics, I would not think taking just a few would help, but maybe I am wrong, nawtee mummy, you take good care of that bite now ya hear.

Sometimes an abcess will drain by itself and kitty will heal, I have had that happen with Ash, but I have found in general a visit to the whitecoats is always best, because they heal so much quicker with the injected antibiotics and course, less suffering, less misery for the kitty, here's hoping PB is well again soon, and you too.!!!
