John, I've always given the sub-q also. 3cc's every other day for 3 rounds. I only give it on bad, nasty cuts or if one does happen to get infected. The theory of not wanting the dogs to build an immunity to antibiotics... I want them to work when given.

Most cuts just get cleaned, flushed out with betadine and stapled or sewed... leaving a drain. Hydrotherapy is the way to go on deep punctures, cuts left open or when the staples/sutures get pulled out.
