We took a dog to a vet on Sunday for him to check out what turned out to
be a much more serious wound than it at first appeared and paid a bill of
£150.

We were given anti-biotics, but not a full course and asked to return the
animal mid week for another check up.

My understanding of anti-biotics is that if a course is started, the full
course should always be given.

That's changed now, for humans at least. Doctors will vary but our practice
(about eight doctors and several nurses) advise to stop taking the
antibiotics when symptoms have gone.
