Hedgehog Lovers

Hello fellow hedgehog lovers :( I’m writing this post because I’m terribly sad for my hedgehog. Something really tragic happened last night and made her lose one of her eyes. I’ll spare the gruesome details here but it was tragic for both my sister and I. It was 10:30 in the evening and the vet’s clinic is closed for the night. We badly want to help her but it’s obviously nothing we could do and we don’t want to make it worse.

This morning, we rushed her to the vet as soon as the clinic was opened. However, the news the doctor gave was one of the worst - there’s nothing he can do about the eye. :( I can’t imagine how painful it must be for prickles and I feel really devastated for her. But the vet says she can’t be administered anesthetics since hedgehogs are allergic to them - the risk of her dying is great. So there’s no way to ease the pain for her. He just gave her some antibiotics to treat the infection and hopefully she won’t get sick. 

Please get better prickles. Even if you’re now a one-eyed hog, I’ll still love you very much. :(

I’m thinking of letting Prickles and Hedgelito breed again… If it gets successful, I’ll post baby hedgies pictures for all you guys to see :)
