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.
This hog came to us after being trapped in pond netting and was partially submerged in the pond.
It was cut out of the netting and brought home to cut away the rest of the netting. The hog was very cold, so was placed on a heat pad while I cut it free.
It was given subcutaneous fluids for shock and dehydration, and it was placed in one of the ICU’s to warm up.
There were no obvious signs of injury, so it will be released once it’s had time to recover from the shock of it’s ordeal.
Duncan is back from the vets now, having had his left hind leg amputated.
He will have a course of antibiotics to fight off any infection, and pain relief.
The notes from the vet state that he has been eating well, and has been to loo, which is important after an operation.
We took in a baby female hedgehog (now called Sweetpea) from Upton Vets this afternoon, that had been handed in after being found out in daytime.
She was dehydrated, so we have given her subcut fluids, and luckily she had done a poo in her box on the way home, so I checked it under the microscope.
