Thanks everyone, sick of vets chasing dollars for nothing or things we can look after ourselves so I try to avoid them if possible, and the vet wouldn't give me antibiotics without doing the $75 consult to have a look and then give me what I asked for!

Well, Brad, this money-saving hint came from Dr. Betty, one of "them."
Folks could save the last human dose or two of whatever antibiotic taken in the refrigerator, labeled, for these events. Refrigerated pills last forever, or nearly forever. Yes, drug resistant bacteria suck and Yes, you should take all those pills. No, you shouldn't throw antibiotics at everything. But - it is practical to have a dose of antibiotics on hand.
It could save a fortune in emergency vet visits. A timely hit of an antibiotic is a great thing for cuts, fights, early UTI, early anal gland abcess, frightful ear infection, etc. etc.etc. People can call their vet and get advice - if you have the drug on hand everyone is happy.

Just wanted to thank everyone again for their help, it's been a week now and Jack seems fine with no signs of infection that I can find!! But still got a couple of days of antibiotics to finish off.
