    Hello everyone, I have a hedgehog (I am unsure of the kind) her name is Libby and she is about 5 1/2 - 6 years old. She is what seems to be white with brown patches!

    Hi, this is the first post I have a two-year-old hedgie named Henrietta. She just recently went to the vet due to severe gingivitis. She lost some of her teeth. I have been giving her the meds but they are almost gone. Her face still looks a little swollen in the spot it was massively swollen...

    I got home from work last night to find lots of blood in my Hog’s cage and freaked out because I had only been gone a few hours and immediately rushed to the closest exotic emergency vet, 45 mins away. They conducted an unreason’s and confirmed that she has a UTI and prescribed pain medication...
  5. Mites
    So I took my hedgie to the vet today for her pre-planned wellness check up. I had already planned to get a blood draw, skin scrape, and poop culture. Well this week she'd been scratching her face and body a lot so I figured there was some sort of skin issue. And I was right. Skin scrape showed...

    Britney's first vet visit is coming up in a month. She's 6 months old and I want her to get an overall check up. She's in perfect health and she's socialized really well, but I want to make sure the diet I'm feeding her is good or if I need to adjust anything (like how much calcium, protein...

    Hi, I have a pet hedgehog, named Mabel, that is 7 months. This weekend, I went away on business trip and left my grandmother to care for her. Instead of giving the proper food, she gave her 16 of the Nutrish Love Bites (24.29% Protein). The bottle says that 15-16 treats are meant for cats...

    Hey there, I adopted Beau last Friday 1/15/21. He's about 10-11 months old and he's a rescue from a family who wasn't taking care of him. Their story for what happened to Beau is that they didn't know you were supposed to trim their nails, so his back nail grew into his paw and then they cut it...
  10. Bleeding, Female
    On Sunday, Dec 27, my lady Reggie had some blood on the tissue when she peed & pooped while chilling on my lap. I called a vet and was able to get her to see someone on Tuesday, Dec 29. The vet wasn't able to palpate her belly 'cause she balls up, so she gave her some gas to get my Reg to sleep...
  11. Feet and legs
    Hi everyone, Long-time lurker here, and I finally have a question (the circumstances, sadly, are not ideal). Our little guy has what is likely a necrotic little toe. He got some hair wrapped around his foot the other night (we noticed in the morning). Thanks to some helpful threads on this...

    If you live in the Boston area and need a vet, do NOT to Cambridge Veterinary Care. They were listed as hedgehog friendly, and when I called they said they see hedgehogs, and since it was close by I thought it would be a great choice. The first time I took my hedgehog there was for a respiratory...
  13. Hedgehog Personality and Behaviour
    My hedgie went to the vet because there was blood in his stool, he was very scared there. We got home and since he's been doing this(pic below). I'm not sure if he's scared or it's something else but it's quite worrying especially due to how helpless he looks. That is his potty btw, I put him...

    Hi everyone. My guy hasn't really been eating for the past 3 days, consistently less than 10 pieces of kibble. He is losing quills and has dry skin, I think he's started quilling (he's 10 weeks old) however I can't really tell if he's growing new quills or not. He has dry skin and is extra...

    I apologize if I'm not really supposed to make a new thread asking about a certain vet in this subforum, so if needed feel free to move it :) I was just trying to find a vet in my area that treats hedgies, and Cornell University's Companion Animal Hospital is pretty close and we have friends...

    So I have been to 3 different vets for my girl since I got her (testing out which vet is best) because I thought she was having constipation issues a while back. 2 of the vets did not sedate her for the x-ray, but 1 of them wanted to sedate her. They were a bit shocked when I told them that...

    Beatrix has been losing a lot of quills and hair everyday each time she moves. When I first noticed it I took her to the vet and the vet checked for mites but couldn't see any under the microscope, but still gave me 2 treatments for mites for her anyways. She also gave me an anti-fungal shampoo...
