beingjdc - have been away in Liverpool, hence no update before - apologies)
Storm came home this afternoon, after being kept in the vet hospital overnight. She's better than she was, but still very weak and not at all a well rat. The abcess has bust right open - they've cleaned it out a couple of times at the vet. We've been given saline solution & other materials to clean it out ourselves twice daily until further notice (next appt on Tuesday), & her antibiotics have been doubled.
She's looking more chipper, though still very skinny & slow. She's grooming, eating, drinking, & pottering around her hospital cage (she's not to go in with the others as she's weak & probably infectious) - certainly she's looking more active than she did Friday morning. So - progress, but a long way from being out of the woods yet. Poor love - her side looks *terrible* :-(
