Hi, I just bought a hedgehog off of craigslist yesterday and come to find out he is infested with mites. I just took him to the vet and he didn't know what he was doing and was very quick to want to inject him w/ Invermectin. Not to mention that he also tried to tell me that he must have FLEAS?!?! This vet(Bingle Veterinary Clinic in Houston, Tx.) is one that I got off of the vet list on this website. He was very condescending especially when I asked him about Revolution. He asked ME how much he should give my hedgie-etc which I guess was all just part of him being a dick because I told him that Invermectin is known to kill hedgies.
Anyway, he did tell me I was welcome to go home and find out what kind and how much Revolution I needed and that he would see if he had any or write me a perscription.. I thought about it, but after all that I don't think I even want to go back to him. PLEASE consider taking him off your vet list. He straight up admitted to me that he doesn't know much about hedgies and doesn't know why he would be listed on this website.
So now I still have a hedgie who is infested w/ mites. I have only had him for a day, but I want to treat him asap and start bonding w/ him. I already know he definitely has mites, now he just needs to be treated properly. :? Advice please!!
