Here is the first admission of the new year – we just picked this little guy up from Iford Bridge, he was found out in daylight, laying on his side. He is extremely dehydrated and very cold.
He has been warmed up and given warm fluids for now, and we will give him some more fluids later.
He must have been in a rescue before, as he has a pink paint mark on his back.
The outlook is not too bright, but as always, we will give 100% effort around the clock to save him.
Let’s rescue hedgehogs, they’re soo cute…. Not when you have to clean this 3 times a day they’re not! Before
Very sadly, we have this morning had to have a very young hoglet of just 190g put to sleep due
We had a call about a hedgehog in trouble on Sundayday, so it was off to Bearwood to collect an adult female hedgehog with a very bad cough.
This is almost certainly a secondary respiratory infection due to a heavy lung worm burden.
She will have nebuliser treatment for the respiratory infection, and once confirmed from checking a poo sample, will be treated for lungworm.
The helpline is available 24/7. Please check our FAQs before calling.
