  1. Diet and Nutrition
    So a couple of weeks ago, I took my hedgehog to the vet for a wellness check-up and a skin issue (which ended up being mites). I also got her a blood draw to check her protein levels, calcium/phosphorus levels, mineral levels, and overall internal health. I wanted to get a blood sample done to...
  2. Bleeding, Female
    I know I just made a post, but I guess I'm desperately clinging to any sort of hope that this isn't uterine cancer and instead a really bad UTI or something. I've been monitoring the amount of blood left underneath Pebbles's wheel since I took her to the vet. I should note the vet was massaging...

    Hi, my hedgehog named bisucit (7mo old) has been having some serious quill issues lately and intense dry skin. He saw the vet a week ago and she told me he was fine. I have no clue if they are related but I woke up this morning and saw a couple spots of blood on his fleece (pictures below)...

    GRAPHIC CONTENT!! Hi everyone, I don't know if I just never noticed and this is how it normally is but while my hedgehog (fergie) was anointing, I was taking a video of her and I noticed that on her butt there was a red dot (blood?) and a white dot appeared when I went to reach for her (she...

    Hi all, My hedgehog Nellie is almost 4 and is still very active/loving/eating normally/nothing seems out of the ordinary other than the blood in urine. She has been to the vet 5 times in the past 2 months, & 3 different vets for differing opinions. She was first treated for a UTI, when that did...

    Hi, I'm fairly new to this forum. My little girl is only 1 year and 4 months and just yesterday I found blood in her cage. I called the vet and got her in this morning to see a vet. After multiple tests she has been diagnosed with Uterine cancer. She couldn't see if it had spread or not. It...
  10. Fecal & Intestinal issues
    Hi there! First post here! :confused: My bf and I recently got 2 female hedgehogs (about 3 weeks ago). They're best buds (which was honestly surprising to us). They're about 3 months old now. Anyways, everything was fine for the first 2.5 weeks, then poor little Squanchy started having mucousy...

    Male hedgehog, about 1 year and 4 months old. Retains reasonable appetite and no sign lethargy. Looking healthy in general. He was hissing this morning when I was nearby working, making sound. He calmed down after I held him. I checked up on him in the afternoon when defecated on me, the first...
  12. Fecal & Intestinal issues
    I need help! I've had a hedgehod for about a month and a half and a few weeks ago I noticed blood stains around her cage. When I gave her a bath, I noticed it was coming from her underside, so I assumed it was coming from her vagina. I called a few vets offices and none could give me a straight...
  13. Feet and legs
    My hedgie completely chewed off one of his toenails today. He was covered in a worrying amount of blood when I found him but I managed to wash almost all of it off. I've been putting pressure on the wound and will use flour if it doesn't stop soon but I'm not sure what else to do? He's chewed on...

    Hey yal. Ive had my hedgehog (Barry) for a little over two weeks, which makes him about 10 weeks old. When I got him he had a small amount of dry, red skin behind his ear and above his right eye where the quills begin to form. After an oatmeal bath about 80% of the dryness started to get better...
  17. Bleeding, Male
    Long story short, I think my vet gave my baby internal bleeding and I don't know what to do. I took Cecil to the vet yesterday since his eating was a little off and he was losing weight (I moved recently and figured he was just adjusting but wanted him seen since it's been 2 weeks now), and the...
  18. General Questions
    Hello, I hate to make a post asking a question without first providing answers to someone else or contributing in someway but I had quite the scare a few hours ago! Some background: I got my hedgehog a little over a week ago (1/6/17) when he was exactly two months old (almost 9 weeks). I bond...

    Hello, My Bip has had blood in her urine for about a week or so. It's not all blood, only some of it is bloody. When we took her to the vet, she went on the table and we collected a sample to be tested and also to have a culture taken. The blood came out right after she was done peeing, so...
