This is a very lucky hedgehog who was crossing the road by St Lawrence School yesterday and rescued by a kind lady who brought him to us as she could see he was dragging a back leg. We took him straight to New Era Vets who found he had broken both bones in his back leg and had a hairline fracture of the pelvis. Vet Ben has pinned the leg successfully, so we are hoping for a full recovery and release, after 4 weeks cage rest to heal the pelvic fracture. The other option was amputation. Many thanks to Ben for avoiding this for the hedgehog. They often walk well enough with one back leg but cannot groom themselves and are more prone to parasite infestation and flystrike.
