Yes, those are battle marks. The first time we took Vi to the vet, he said the abscess was caused by one of the wounds getting infected, but the one she has now, I think there is more to it...I don't know...that's why we are going to the vet obviously. She goes to the vet @ 4:30 actually.

They haven't been picking on her for a long time, those are old marks from when I first got her.

No, that is not a bruise on her ear, it is dried blood that she got on there from the abscess, I have since washed it off.

Hopefully my baby will feel better later on tonight after we get her some help!! I know it hurts her, poor girl.

When I get back from the vet this evening I will let everyone know what he had to say about Violette.

Let me just say I LOVE this vet we are going to. The other lady we used to go I did not like at all, mainly due to the fact that she would stare at you for about five minutes and never blink, giving you a death glare- extremely creepy and hard to talk to a person like that!!! LOL. Dr. Fellenz is so nice, I have never seen a man this passionate about rats, omg, it is unbelievable. He helped me with Peanut during her last days, he was so kind hearted and comforting. I just LOVE him. We had to take Peanut (and Violette) there on an emergency basis, he spent over an hour and half with us between working with his scheduled clients, and he didn't charge us for an emergency appointment!!!! How awesome can you get!?!? I can't wait to see him so he can help me with my baby! Just had to share that with everyone cause I love him so much! I wish everyone could take their critters to him!!
