Muffin's abscess

Bad news for Muffin:

She suddenly developed an abscess on her left shoulder. It opened up and was bleeding and oozing pus. It had to be cleaned and drained, and (mostly) stitched up. It appears another one is forming on the other shoulder, as well.

She also has scratches on both corneas suddenly. We've been treating her for an eye infection but the crust there has apparently scratched her eyes. (Its possible that she may be sleeping with her eyes open, which would also cause them to be dried out and easily scratched.) We really don't know how these things have come about so suddenly.

She's on pain medicine again and new eye drops, and will be back to see Dr. Rovner on Tuesday morning.
