As much as I hate this realization, I do not think I can keep Bella. I've taken her too the vet where they preceded to tell me that she was not sick...and she has gotten much MUCH worse. To the point where she has bloody stool, missing teeth, scabs on her nose and ears that I have no idea how they got there and she is so inactive that when I take her out of her cage she just lays down and stares. She has no ambition what so ever to move. She also smells like a dead animal.
I feel so horrible for her that I can barely type this. I love her DEARLY and I am not one to abuse or mistreat an animal, I am actually going to school to be a vet. assistant and there is no way in **** that I would EVER cause harm to one, but I didn't know that having a hedgehog would cost thousands of dollars..I know thats not the case for most people but in mine it is and I simply do not have the money..I've tried everything I can with her and I will not have her go through anymore pain and have it possibly be my fault.
So if you are in Washington in the Seattle area PLEASE HELP. My decision is NOT FINAL as I am being patient will her but if things get any worse I want to know that there is someone who will take her.I also have ANOTHER appointment for her on Monday, the soonest I can get her in unless I want to travel 2hrs. And please do not judge me or write rude comments..I am extremely hurt by this situation and I did what anyone else would have done to help her and the vets her are obviously not experienced with hedgehogs like they say they are. I am also convinced that she was sold to me like this.
