I am so sorry that your pet is so ill. If he is sick from an abscess then it has likely spread to his bloodstream and really needs to be lanced. Clindamycin is usually given for 7-10 days on average. I would highly recommend this resource to use for financial assistance to best help Temi. http://m.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_veterinary_care.html He neds to have this abscess drained or he is likely to continue to be sick, even with the antibiotics on board. I wish you all the best and hope that Temi has a full and speedy recovery. Take care.
