Another poorly orphan hoglet came to us this morning, 10 – 14 day old male hoglet weighing 68g, dug out of nest by a dog.
Sad news – we had this adult male hog brought in by Sally, one of Wildlife in Need’s volunteer drivers, this evening. He had been found laying under a car late this afternoon.
He had a very deep bite wound just in front of his right ear, and one under his jaw. He was bleeding from his nostrils and was actually groaning in pain when touched.
Three very poorly hogs in one after the other this evening; One with bite wounds which are infected, including one through the right eye, head wound, dehydrated, emaciated and covered in ticks. Currently in one of the ICU/recovery units, in critical condition.
