Here’s another good news story

Here’s another good news story – this is little Heath, who came to us almost bald with a very nasty skin infection.

With regular medicated baths and zinc supplements, sprays and ointment, plus a lot of care, he has a lovely coat of shiny new spines, and is looking much more like a hedgehog again.

Hopefully he will be able to be released in the not too distant future, once his spines have fully regrown.
