    I noticed my girl has this sunken eye 5 days ago, she went to the vet 2 days ago. So far, the vet-prescribed antibiotic and anti inflammatory eye drops do not seem to have improved the situation. Vet check has seen no injury, eye ball is moving around and eye ball is intact. No crust, discharge...

    Hello! I was giving my hedgehog a bath a few days ago when I noticed her eye was super swollen and red with some discharge in between her eyelids. She wouldn’t open the infected eye either. I took her to the vet first thing the next morning and the vet agreed that it appears to be infected, so...

    Hello all! My little guy Rafael got surgery today for a prolapsed eye- they removed his eye . Not sure how long it will take for him to adjust . I will be picking him up tomorrow and I was wondering if anyone had tips on making him as comfortable as possible when he gets back home. Thanks bunches 💜

    I'm sorry, this is a long post, but I am in South Korea where (as you will read, if you have time) that I do not have access to decent health care options for my hedgie - any advice will be welcomed! On Friday, 4 May 2018, I came home late and noticed that my little hedgie, Professor Moriarty -...

    Hello everyone! Today I discovered a red bump near/in Macy's eye. [Image below] Being a first-time hedgehog owner, I do not have a lot of experience with health issues, although I have done a lot of research before adopting her. (I have had her 2 years this summer) Macy has an appointment...

    Recently my hedgie and I moved from Seattle over to Boise, ID for school. In Seattle he didn't have a heat emitter, because the house was kept at 74 degrees and it wasn't really necessary. Here, however, it is much colder so he has one. After the first day or so I've noticed that he holds his...

    Hello, this is my first post, I just got back from vacation that lasted a full month, I had to leave my hedgehog at home with my mother. She hadn't taken him out every single day like I do (Maybe every 2-4 days), but now that I am home, I noticed his eye is bigger, red around it, and the eye is...

    Ok so my hedgehog is a male and is approximately about a year and 8 months old. About 1 month ago, he started presenting corneal edima in his right eye. I took him to the vet immediately and was given a medicine to apply directly to his eye. His eye has turned completely blue and sunken in, and...
  9. General Questions
    Hello! I'm new here, and I'm really worried about my hedgehog. He's three years old and has always been very antisocial, never liked to be held and is the happiest when left alone in his house. A couple of weeks ago, during his bath time, I noticed that his left eye is considerably lighter than...

    Guys I'm freaking out here! Something looks weird with my baby's eye. I've noticed it was looking more white than before but I imagined it was the eye membrane thickening on the eye, but now it is starting to get swollen, idk, it looks like pus inside. Does anyone have any idea about what this...

    Hey y'all! I posted this is CnH too, just trying to get as many answers as possible :) I took Nettles to the vet Saturday after noticing her eyes and face looking puffy, similar to what a person with a cold looks like. Just the sleepy look. Then we noticed a lump on her left side under her...

    Hello! So just tonight i noticed that my albino hedgehog had a white spot in his eye and he was trying to blink constantly with that eye. The eye with the white spot also looked bigger in comparison to his other eye. This is no puss that I can see. The little guy is 4.5 years old. Not sure...

    I haven't been on here in some time but today when I checked on Sookie, I noticed her eye was severely infected. It was cloudy and gooey and bulging out. I immediately took her to the local emergency clinic where they said her eye would probably have to come out. It was probably due to a scratch...

    Hi guys. I've had my hedgehog Simba for about four years now. He's never had any health issues, but a couple weeks ago he developed this white circle on his eye. I haven't taken him to the vet, because he still runs around and acts perfectly normal. I'm starting to really get worried though...

    Hello, I'm new here but been searching around the site for a while. I have a four year old Hedgie named Suri. Perfect health.... but yesterday night I noticed she had a white spot in the middle of her eye, and a fat pouch on the bottom of her eye. It was late and I couldn't get her to the...
  16. Eyes
    So last week I found a bump under my hedgehog's eye. I immediately took him to the vet who examined him and said that they were almost certain it was a abscessed tooth. We were sent home with an antibiotic that he has been on for a week now. Wednesday night when I went to give him his medicine I...
