Caerphilly Hedgehog Rescue

Meet Shadow ! 🦔🩷

Admitted from the Cwmcarn area on 06/06, 358g after being found out in the day in the street.

After an assessment, Shadow was cold, dehydrated and emaciated on arrival and placed in our incubator. He has a patch of nonreactive spines see pic possibly nerve damage in that area.

Faeces have been screened to show parasite burdens of Capillaria (roundworm) and Fluke.

Antibiotics, sub cutaneous fluids and pain relief have been given.

He is eating well and now 3/4 through his treatment plan and progressing well.❤️

Please don't forget! Put out plenty of water for all wildlife 💦 👇
