If Gucci had a skin infection the swelling could take some time to resolve. If you have already finished antibiotics and the swelling is not completely gone I'd recommend making a recheck appointment with your veterinarian. It is possible that he needs antibiotics for a longer period of time, or that some more testing needs to be performed to determine what the swelling is.
