I hate to tell you this, Stonecold, but a single injection of Penicillin will not do squat. This is a very common misconception. An antibiotic is only good if used over a period of time. In the case of penicillin....a shot every 6-12 hours for 7 to 10 days.

Washington Hunter,
Sounds like he had a very minor injury. Glad to hear it turned out ok. It is best, however, to keep an eye on it for the next few days.
