Remember William, the hog with the prolapsed anus? He’s made a brilliant recovery, and his bum looks good as new lol.
Since he’s been here, he’s doubled his weight, eats well and toilets as normal, which is great.

Hi – I am a hedgehog rescue in Burwell Cambridgeshire and had a horrific looking prolapse come in to me yesterday . It was a young one, 145g.
I noticed tape worm along the prolapse and got onto my vet to book in today . However the prolapse has healed itself? Completely! I just lubricated it in prep for surgery today.
In your experience have you always gone down the surgical route?
I treated with panacur which I will do for 3 days then repeat in a week.
Have you ever come across this before?
Seems bright and eating etc.
Thank you in advance!
