I also suggested that Jim take Max to the vet to have it looked at.
With < gasp > a "long laceration" and

*I* would have been at the ER by now!

For Sure Max needs to be looked at by a DVM White Coat ...
a deep cut should probably be 'closed' with sutures or butterflies.

"Neosporin" ??
I'm reminds of what my Heart Buzz-Box Doc said the morning after
she 'installed' the Zapper and was explaining the dos and don'ts of the
bandaged point of insertion on my shoulder.

She got done and I volunteered the idea of smearing "Neosporin" on the
seam to 'help' with the healing.

WRONG thing to say to a White Coat!
She about had a coronary on the spot!
"WHAT did I just say? Keep it CLEAN ...
that stuff 'GROWS BUGS' wherever you put it!"

Ohhhhh-Kaaaay ... hold the Neosporin!
**sheeze** whaddda GRUMP she can be!

Ask the White Coat what s/he suggests ... but please get him looked at ASAP!

Chipper ... say you're SORRIE!
