Happy Sunday everyone! This job is 7 days a week! Got called out to 2 more baby hedgehogs we highly suspect mum has died, she was injured and hadn't been seen for 2 days and the babies were calling out. The girl was sadly not savable, she had a severe facial injury and multiple puncture wounds to her which flies had laid eggs in and the maggots had started to hatch under the skin. Awful. But the boy seems fine, very dehydrated. But with some TLC, fluids, and a belly full of food he seems perky this afternoon! He will join the other 3 I had earlier in the week as they are similar ages. My vet friend Naomi has had them for 2 days, we are "co-parenting" the babies π€£ more updates to follow!!
