Well, a day or two wouldn't make a difference, or probably even a
week or so. You will also run out prior to 15 days. Trust me. Never
have figured that out but it never lasts as long as you calculate. I
guess some gets stuck to the outside of the syringe.

The only reason I mentioned it is that several people were talking
about amoxi and I wanted to make sure that there weren't some
leftovers in the refrigerator. Several years ago, I kept some
leftover amoxi and clavamox in my refrigerator thinking I would have
some down the road. Someone finally told me to get rid of it.
