My hedgehog Connor Chestnut is coming into his third week with us and is unfortunately pretty sick. He was surrendered to us through the HWS by a family that could no longer care for him, but had treated him very well and told us everything they could. We knew he was getting over an ear...

Hi there, I will apologize in advance for my lengthy post, but at this point I don't know else what to do. Please help in any way you can! Hickory is my two year old hedgehog and we have been dealing with consistent skin infections and obesity for quite some time now. I am getting very...

Hello! I noticed some red spots on my hedgehog yesterday that doesn't really seem to bother him but they concern me. I don't think he has mites because he doesn't scratch a lot and I use fleece as his bedding. He is a month and a half old so he is quilling right now and have some grumpy...

I noticed that our hedgehog had what appeared to be blood blisters on his skin. He had one a while ago and it popped and healed and went away (Just blood came out). About a week ago, we saw another one, then we saw three of them. One did pop and the same thing happen. We took him to the vet and...

I just got back from the vet, and wanted to document my situation here to hopefully help someone else! About six weeks ago, Penny began losing quills. It wasn't many quills and I spotted new quill growth, so I didn't think much of it. About two weeks ago, I had some health issues, and after...

I have my almost 3 yr old little girl Hazel suffering from a bad skin infection. On Tuesday I noticed she had scabs, older ones plus fresh ones along her belly sides and skirt areas. I took her to my nearest ER vet and had her looked at where they did a clip and clean of her abdominal area and...
