Many hedgehog are being brought to us with the most traumatic wounds and injuries we have ever seen!
This poor boy was hit by a car and left…
Not only did he suffer the traumatic wounds to his abdomen but this was also accompanied by fractured skull, teeth and broken limbs.
We are so grateful that he was eventually found so we could end his suffering!
Sadly, we believe he was a young hedgehogs are his teeth were clean.
We hope to make an awareness to be more vigilant to hedgehogs and wildfire in general.

A very busy bank holiday weekend at the Hedge-Hogspital! 🦔
Jessica was roaming around a very busy road during the day! Even though she was causing alot of traffic no one had stopped to pick her up!
I collected jessica and got her back for a full examination, she unfortunately had fluke which is pictured below under the microscope 🔬
We have started treatment for Jessica and hope she will make a good recovery. At the moment she only weighs 490g and inappetent.
I am a completely self funded hedgehog rescue, please considering donating to our page to support the hedgehogs! - https://gofund.me/82abdfe9

Meet Mike! Our recent admit; who as you can see in the picture below has had a general anaesthetic for a CT scan! He was intubated (a tube placed down the trachea) to maintain anaesthesia. He also had a tiny cannula placed in his forelimb, with IV access we were able to give him contrast medium and fluids intravenously!
We have exhausted all other options to establish what is going on with Mike. He has had medication, an ultrasound and X-rays.
We are hoping the results come back positive! 🤞🏻
As you can imagine this type of procedure is incredibly specialist, we are completely self funded and heavily rely on the generosity of the public! Please donate to our GoFundMe page every penny counts! - https://gofund.me/82abdfe9

Meet Rodger one of our admits who was out during the hot weather, severely dehydrated and struggling! He is currently residing in one of the ICU’s as he has tested positive for lungworm and was so severely exhausted. Fingers crossed he responds well to treatment and we can return him to the wild! Please consider donating to our current Gofundme to support hedgehogs like Rodger- https://gofund.me/82abdfe9 Thank you! 🦔

This poor little hedgehog was brought in with no back legs 😢
She was found in agonising pain in a park desperately trying to find help!
Even though she had no back legs she still continued to drag herself around searching for help.
She was euthanised as soon as the finder brought her in, to relieve her suffering.
If you do find a hedgehog out during the day, please seek help!

So many sick hedgehogs arriving everyday!
Please meet Rosie… she was found struggling to move around under a rose bush. So severely dehydrated that her eyes had sunken to non existence. Initially, we believed she had a broken limb as she was unable to move but after examination it was apparent that she was so sick she was unable to pick up her own weight. She was truly exhausted and lifeless. She had gone days without a drop of water or food and was in survival mode.
She has spent so far 5 days in the ICU. Receiving around the clock fluid therapy and finally starting to eat on her own. She has tested positive for lungworm which we are now treating for.
Please keep everything crossed for Rosie 🌹

All donations to the treatment of the hedgehogs are always appreciated! Please donate to our page -

This poor little guy was found non stop circling during the day 😔
We put him under anaesthesia to assess his wound; he has multiple bite marks over his face which have been clipped and cleaned. Whilst under anaesthesia we X-rayed him to ensure there was no further damage to his skull.
He has responded well to antibiotics and putting on weight everyday!
We are already at full capacity with admissions and are looking to expand to support the work we do for the hedgehogs please consider donating to our GofundMe -

What a difference 24 hours can make! At last Bonnie has turned a corner and has become more responsive! She has started to eat on her own and once eating keenly we can hopefully finish with fluid therapy! As you can see she is looking a lot more brighter than how she was presenting yesterday. She is showing mild symptoms of a neurological defect, she may require an MRI scan and hydrotherapy in the near future if she doesn’t continue to progress! Please all keep fingers crossed for more improvements from Bonnie! 🦔 Please also consider donating to our GoFundMe page - https://gofund.me/bf2f34fc even £1 will go a long way! Thank you 🦔

Please keep your fingers crossed for Bonnie, who was named Bonnie as she was found on Bonfire night collapsed. The member of public who found Bonnie knew something was wrong when Bonnie was unable to fully curl in a ball and non responsive. At the moment little Bonnie only weighs 210g and is in a critical condition. She is severely dehydrated and in a state of distributive shock. Her prognosis at the moment is very poor and currently receiving 24 hour nursing care, fluid therapy and responding to medication.
Please support the work we do by donating to our GoFundMe, without your donations we would not be able to do the things we do for the hedgehogs 🦔
Thank you

Have you ever seen a hedgehog radiograph?
X-rays are one of the most common procedures we do. The procedure itself is non invasive, pain free and quick. 70% of the hedgehogs that get admitted will end up having radiographs and unfortunately a lot of the time it’s because they have a broken bone!

I was contacted by a local vets to take this little girl in. Only weighing 168g and unfortunately tested positive for lungworm.
Have started treatment and keeping her warm whilst she eats her body weight in food! 🦔
