This little chap came in to us Monday after getting himself trapped in an enclosed courtyard with fake grass surface.
He had fallen about 3 – 4 feet down, and there was no way he could have got out on his own. He could have been there since Friday.
We collected this young hoglet recently from Kinson – A lady was clearing leaves in her garden when she inadvertently uncovered a nesting mother with
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.
We were called out to a hog in need of help by a dog walker on Wednesday, but despite a thorough search, were unable to find him.
The next lunchtime, some good news – the hog that we were looking for had been found and brought in to us.
He was wandering around erratically and going in circles. He didn’t seem to see Dawn, the finder, or even roll up when she him picked up.
He was dehydrated, and had what look like bite marks on the left side of his face and nose, and a bald patch with 2 puncture wounds under his neck.
He had had subcut fluids, and was placed into a quiet box with food.
We had this adult male hog dropped off to us on Tuesday morning from Blandford, it had been found laying out on the drive, not moving and did not roll up when poked.
It was dehydrated and had some bite wounds on it’s right side, just above the skirt.
We gave it subcut fluids for the dehydration and shock, cleaned and treated his wounds and placed him in one of the ICU’s , but he sadly passed away an hour later.

Another one of our emergencies;
She had been taken to a vet by the finder, where she had stitches in her mouth and front leg, and the finder then had her for about ten days.
She had not responded after the vets treatment, and the finder called us for advice, and we felt the hog should come to us for aid.
Bit of a nasty one this.
We had a juvenile male hog dropped off this afternoon, following a call asking if we could take it. We were told that it was in a bad way with a head wound, dehydrated, had flies all over it and smelled.
He had been found yesterday, but not handed in until today. At this time of year, it takes approx 4 hours from flies eggs being laid until the maggots hatch. If we’d had this chap yesterday we could have saved him a lot of pain and discomfort.
We had a couple of emergencies before 9 o’clock this morning, one of which has sadly had to be put to sleep.The first was a female, probably hit by a car, and had several head wounds. It was taken straight to the vets, where x-ray showed multiple skull fractures, including one the that had split the head from front to back, and had split the sinus.
This little hog came in at lunchtime today, having been found out during the day, just laying on the lawn. It was very poorly, with
We are having a run on hogs coming in with badly damaged legs at the moment. This young hog on arrived on Sunday, having been
