They have already wormed hedgehog and given a course of Baytril and synulox!?!! The hedgehog was initially doing well, gained weight and eating well.

&lt;p&gt;You generally need to GA to do a decent health check...Look for bad teeth, any sign of trauma, abdo masses etc etc.&amp;nbsp; If NAD then you can think about rads and scans etc.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;ve never had to bleed a hedgehog but I assume it is possible ...jugular, CVC, cephalic or saphenous depending on size of patient and volume of blood needed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Good luck.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh, and ask the rescuer where they&amp;#39;re getting their POMs from and check their doses!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
