Little Benny! 🦔

This little guy came in as he was found lying flat on the pavement. The finders initially picked him up and moved him under a bush but soon realised there was something seriously wrong with him! He wouldn’t curl up due to severe exhaustion and dehydration. Initially, only weighing 145g it was apparent that he has strayed afar from his mum.
He is now at the rescue enjoying the comfort of a warm incubator and receiving plenty of food.
He unfortunately tested positive for both lungworm and fluke which he is now receiving treatment for.
We are kindly asking the generosity of public to please consider to our GoFundMe page which can be found at the link attached below. Thank you 🦔

Can you help?
This is Popcorn, an African Pygmy hedgehog (pet hedgehog) that was left dumped outside.
He unfortunately has a retrobulbar abscess (abscess behind the eye).
He has had a CT scan which confirmed this and showed severe infection and due to this he has lost alot of bone formation. The abscess is growing faster causing the eye to protrude. He is currently on multiple antibiotics to clear the infection, pain relief and has had a dental to remove the tooth that has caused this.
If Popcorn does not respond well to antibiotics, surgically removing the eye would be the next step.
Please keep your fingers crossed for him!

This type of veterinary treatment becomes expensive very quickly and we are relying on the generosity of the public to help us!
Please consider donating to our GoFundMe - our bill is currently £1900

❌ GRAPHIC IMAGES ❌

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

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 -
