Thanks guys. Horse-strength antibiotics... crumbs. Actually now I think about it I always react to meds much more strongly on the first day and then my body gets used to it, I guess hams could be similar. WIllow has now turned herself into a digging machine (I gave her aubiose for the first time at the beginning of last week) and the abcess does seem to be clearing... nice to have an animal that doesnt lick like cats do and make everything worse. And she hasnt' got bored of her porridge yet. Phew. She looks chirpy and cheeky and I don't think she is in much discomfort, if any, altho it's hard to tell with wee animals sometimes isnt' it.
Hamtibiotics....
