Martens, or Marder as they are called here, sure look like rodents, but actually they are little carnivores. They are not very popular here as they cause damage in cars by chewing the cords.




Looks like Peggy really got involved in a fight with one, as today, the abscess opened on the opposite site of her pad as well, and it looked very nasty, full of pus and liquid. I will post some photos of her later. She looked very miserable earlier today (and hissed at me when she got her pill), but my mother just called to tell me that Peggy has started walking around on three legs, and she even wanted to go out (which of course she wasn't allowed to).

I'll post some new pics of her later!
