Poor Kali! Yes, you can generally continue that spray unless the lesion starts getting worse. You may also want to wash the lesion and rinse it well once a day for a few days. Wait until it is dry to apply the spray. You also need to protect it from any scratching. If the lesion is not significantly healed within a week, have Kali examined by the veterinarian. Best of luck.
