Re: my 3 hedgehogs now have diarrhea and one has a cough

thank you, the poor little hogs have been through so much what with mum squashed on the road, mums dogs finding them and making it this far with such a good weight gain, when i talk to the vets the 1st thing he says is how are the pigs today

but then they do get fed a tin of cat food, dried and live mileworms and cat biscuts everyday, When i 1st got them i was advise by British Hedgehog Preservation Society to expect them not to make it throgh the 1st night,

When they reach 500g or 600g they will be over wintered in dads shed (he dont know that yet, mum said he wont even notice so its hush lol) atm they live in my living room.

I wondered how the dead lung worm (if any) would be rejected by the hedgehog, i now understand why the cough got worse on day 4 of the 5 day treatment.

They're clever things as when i handle them they dont roll up in a ball (i wear thick rubber gloves) but when someone else holds em eg my bf or the vet they refuse to open even when they are wearing my thick rubber gloves.
