So my personal rule is to add a single full stop when a common abbreviation has lowercase letters(ie. "eg" and "ie"). I make an exception with "etc", as it is usually only found at the end of clauses and is followed by a punctuation mark anyway. This is my own rule by the way; I encourage a debate on the subject.
