Yesterday’s arrival was ‘Caveman’ 424g from South Cave

He was seen out during the day a sure sign he was unwell. The poor chap has roundworm, lungworm and the dreaded ringworm which is proving to be very stubborn this season

Hopefully he was found time, well done folks for spotting him

Thank you to Sue for rescuing & delivering him

REMEMBER - OUT IN THE DAY IS NOT OK

Many thanks, Caveman’s hedgehog unit is sponsored ‘In Memory of Jean Guest’ Nicky Guest-Walmsley

‘Berry’ 367g arrived on 16th December, she was spotted in Elaine’s garden walking tall, usually an obvious sign something is wrong

Yes it was, we found lungworm and roundworm. Her treatment is nearly complete and she has gained weight nicely 👏🏻

Well done to Elaine for spotting her

The first hedgehog of 2025 arrived on New Years Day

Poor ‘Merlin’ not a bad weight at 794g but with a terrible injury that looks like the culprit was a strimmer

The wound was badly infected so we gave him pain relief and antibiotics and straight to the vets so they could have a better look and see how deep the wound was

We were optimistic but they did a great job of cleaning the wound up and said it would heal with plenty of tlc!

To top it off Merlin also has lungworm and roundworm

He’s doing well, let’s hope this continues

Many thanks to Leigh for rescuing and delivering him 👏🏻

Also thanks to John & Debbie Tomlinson for sponsoring Merlin’s hedgehog unit

🌟Last hog admission of 2024🌟

‘Tiff’ 368g arrived in a bit of a state from Howden

It was clear to see on arrival she had ringworm, mange and mites which must have been driving her mad! Then we noticed she only had 3 legs so a trip to the vets to check all was ok with this. The vet confirmed that she had lost her back leg in wild but it had healed very well, we will keep a close eye on this

She also has internal parasites lungworm and roundworm, so much going on for this girl but she seems to be doing ok and now itching less 👏🏻

Many thanks to Mark for rescuing and delivering her 👏🏻

Also thanks to Sandra Cockerton for sponsoring Tiff’s hedgehog unit

‘Chander’ 425g arrived on 30th December

He’s such a poorly hog with a very high burden of roundworm, just look at the photo of roundworm eggs under the microscope and that is just the tiniest bit of 💩
He’s gained weight for the first time today, let just hope the medication has started to work and the weight gains continue in the right direction

Huge thanks to Leigh for rescuing and delivering him he certainly was in need

Thanks also to Jane for sponsoring hedgehog unit 19

Tonight has seen the release of gorgeous ‘Cam’ now 827g, he arrived on 9th November only 258g found at Market Weighton Tennis Club

This poor guy was freezing cold, wobbly, dehydrated and lots of fleas aboard and also a triple whammy of internal parasites

He has been the ideal patient once he was stable, what a star … stay safe big guy, you we’re a pleasure 💙

Thanks to Dave for rescuing him and to Angie for delivering him

Massive thanks to Angie for releasing and support feeding him

Many thanks to Cam’s Sponsor Dave & Karen Berry

‘Remi’ 253g arrived on 2nd December, found on the school field at St Mary’s Primary School, MW

Even though he was found in December believe it or not the little guy had flystrike!!! We just couldn’t believe it

On top of flystrike he had infected ringworm, mites, fleas and 💩 showed roundworm and lungworm … it might have been easier to list what he doesn’t have!!

He’s had a rough 10 days and we thought we were going to loose him … but then he suddenly turned a corner and is doing great 🤫 hope I haven’t jinxed it!!

Let’s see what the next week brings

Thanks to Emma for your swift action rescuing Remi and pupil Remi for looking after him till I got there to collect him

Many thanks to Remi’s Sponsor About the Dog - Wilberfoss

Wednesday also saw the arrival of ‘Barnaby’ what a state he was in, on the verge of collapse. Freezing cold and dehydrated 😣 this pose in the photo is one we dread seeing as usually this only end one way

We honestly didn’t think he would make it through the night, but he did!!!

💩 checks showed he is suffering with fluke, lungworm and a high burden of roundworm

5 days later and he is still with us and gained weight, just amazing

Many thanks to Sandy for rescuing and delivering him 👏🏻

Also thanks to John & Debbie Tomlinson for sponsoring Barnaby’s hedgehog unit

‘Noel’ 290g arrived on 2nd December found out in the day at Bubwith

This just goes to show yes they can look ok from the outside and be lively but inside it’s a totally different story

He had nasty 💩 which when checked under the microscope showed he had lungworm, fluke and a high burden of roundworm, not forgetting this sample under the microscope is only a tiny amount of 💩 so just imagine how many parasites he actually has

So remember when we think the hogs look ok, how wrong we can actually be

He’s started his treatment and has gained some weight, let’s hope this continues

Many thanks to Barnie for rescuing delivering him 👏🏻

Friday saw the arrival of ‘Laika’ 304g, found asleep in Gill’s feeding station in the morning

On arrival it was clear to see he was starting to shut down he was freezing cold, dehydrated and non responsive

It took some time to slowly warm him up, then subcutaneous fluids could be given which continued throughout the next 48 hours

By the next morning we could check his 💩 which showed roundworm and lungworm, he now also sounded very chesty so antibiotics were also given

Its touch and go for this little chap but he’s still fighting 🤞🏻

Many thanks to Gill for rescuing and Angie delivering him 👏🏻
