Wounded hog gone to hogspital :(

Had to call out my local hedgehog rescue lady as I found one of my resident hogs with a nasty wound on it's side just as I was about to go to bed. It's been take to be treated but I'm not sure if it will surviveCat Sad

 

The rescue lady even had to give it a rinse off in the sink as it had fly strike too, bleurgh. Just hoping the emergency vets will be able to treat it as it's one of my most regular visitors. I think it may even be the hoglets mum, but not sure on that. Thankfully they will be big enough to fend for themselves by now I think.

 

Got to try and sleep now but I'm a bit strung out with all the drama of it. Bet the neighbours are wondering what the heck we were up to, creeping around with torches! Will let you know the outcome, night.

Oh thats good news. I expect you might have to suppliment his food for a while, but they wouldn't have released him back to you if his weight was below hibernation rate.  I wonder if Mrs Hog has missed him?

 

I saw one of those wildlife rescue shows on TV and they took a recovered swan back to the home pond and he immediately found his mate and they danced together, which was wonderful to see.
