Just in case anyone is interested, hint hint, Biscuit has just reached 500g. She's now living with another girl that came in at around the same time called Cosy and both appear to be doing well.
My blind lady is no longer blind. She can now see my fingers so her aim has got a lot better. The abscess seems to have subsided and the weight loss has stalled. I now have some hope she will survive this but being a very old lady, whether she will survive hibernation is another matter.
The tiddler that was caught by the front leg in a log roll was causing a great deal of concern and still is. Part of the foot has died and there was no blood supply even though the swelling has gone down. I was working myself up to the inevitable and gave one last gasp attempt to do something about it, spending a good half hour massaging the foot much harder than I normally would.
To my amazement a small scab on one toe suddenly started to bleed. I also thought I detected a slight movement in the leg so inevitable cancelled, for now.
The little boy whose back foot was chomped by his litter mates is another problem one. The foot had completely de-gloved and is now just one massive scab which he hates and keep shaking his back foot trying to get rid of it. It remains to be seen what will be left of the foot once the scab comes off.
