Rescue, Rehab, Release
We had this little hoglet (81g) brought over to us this evening. Very flat, cold, dehydrated and covered in flystrike.
He was given warm subcut fluids, had the flystrike cleaned off and is now warming up in one of the new incubators. Hedgehogs will not feed when they are cold, so we need him to get warm so he can be fed.
He is very lethargic, but responsive, so we’ll have to see how he goes.
Tonight was the last night of lungworm treatment for 6 of the hogs, for which I think they are grateful
A new entry this morning – male hedgehog – has lost one eye to apparent old injury and now gone blind in the other eye. He was found blundering around, bumping into things during the daytime.
*** IMPORTANT NEWS *** Please note that we are now closed to new entries and will re-open early in May.
