Goodbye Little Hedgehog


(Left - little hedgehog when she arrived, middle and right, little hedgehog during her rehab)

Very sadly we have to report that yesterday Little Hedgehog died in her sleep during hibernation...such a shame as she'd beaten all the infections and looked so well and been eating healthily before her first and second sessions hibernating.  So sad to find her dead...it's been suggested that her heart might have been weakened from her illness as she was likely ill for quite a long time before coming to find us.  As lots of people have said to us, "You can't win them all"...but as you know we try extremely hard for our animals to give them the best care possible and the best chance of success...you can't help but get attached as you get to know them and their personalities and share their highs and lows and make everything better/OK for them.  She was such a brave little soul and very determined...goodbye Little Hedgehog.

But you gave her great life while she was with you, in this weather it would have been such a miserable death outside.
