Rescue, Rehab, Release
We have had a really busy weekend and Bank holiday, with several hogs with fly strike on their wounds that needed cleaning.
Amongst several hogs that came on was this female, who came in to us this evening after having been found out in daylight when the homeowner went out to see what his dog was barking at, and found her not moving.
Update on Mabel the hog with constriction injuries ….
On Friday she came back to us after spending 24 hours with our vet. During that time she was anesthetised to enable her gaping throat wound to be cleaned and debrided. She also has laser treatment to speed up the healing process.
We hope you are all enjoying your Bank Holiday weekend!
Ours has been spent mostly picking off flystrike from the many hogs who have come in over the weekend, hence not so many updates recently.
Please remember if you are doing any gardening or DIY in your gardens, look out for hedgehogs and in particular nests of babies. They may be under a shrub, a shed, decking, behind plant pots and even under the tarpaulin covers of garden furniture or bar-b-ques.
If you happen to disturb a nest, please cover it over again and give us a call for advice. We are here 24/7 on 07587 925476
