Little-Miss Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Only I, Little-Miss, would not only own a Hedgehog but own a hedgehog who somehow manages to destroy his own eye. He went in for an op today to have it removed. So now sat twiddling me thumbs waiting for 4:30 when i can go get him. Silly sod...
tech_guy Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Dare we ask how he managed to pirate himself?
JJonas Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) It talk like a pirate day on the 19th... get making him a costume The Official site for International Talk Like A Pirate Day - September 19 Joking aside keep us up to date with how he is doing Edited September 17, 2012 by JJonas
plexer Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 aww poor little fella. Give him a big hug for me Ben
tech_guy Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 We have a young hedgehog living in our back garden. He keeps falling in the pond so I've had to cover it with mesh. The pond, not the hedgehog.
BatchFile Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 aww poor little fella.Give him a big hug for me :)BenI wouldn't, YOU'LL end up in A+E having spines removed from yourself!... maybe a tickle under the tummy...
Little-Miss Posted September 20, 2012 Author Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) Oh @Domino, you do make me laugh!! Printed off and stuck on the wall behind me. Yep i own a one eyed Hedgehog called Dexter. Unfortunately it seems it was little worse then just hurting his eye. He had a massive abcsess in his mouth with basically pushed at his eye. Had to send off for Histology test to make sure its not cancerous. Poor little blighter. He does look sorry for himself. Yesterday he seemed a bit brighter though, helped himself to food and water instead of me shoving it down his gob! Edited September 20, 2012 by Little-Miss 2
arwen Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 Aww hope Dexter is back to his self soon! Glad to here he is eating though. That's always a good sign :-) 1
Little-Miss Posted September 20, 2012 Author Posted September 20, 2012 @tech_guy have you had to fish the hog out the pond then? lol
witch Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 I hope Dexter feels better soon. Poor little hog!
Sirbendy Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 They do make fun pets..I had a rescued one for a while that was quite a talking point. Still lives at parents house, still see him down the bottom of the garden where the hedgehog box is. I have a habit of stopping when I see one crossing the road, and moving it on (much to the annoyance of others). Must crack on next year with making a wildlife corner in the garden and have another hedgehog box..
Little-Miss Posted October 1, 2012 Author Posted October 1, 2012 A bit of a depressing update but i know a few of you are Dexter fans. Unfortunately the abscess has turned out to be cancerous. So its palliative care from now on. Could be weeks, could be months...I'm hoping he'll go in his sleep, don't fancy a one way Vet visit.

spookyspoof Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 oh no - poor boy - How old is he by the way?
Little-Miss Posted October 1, 2012 Author Posted October 1, 2012 He's 3. He's got the usual small animal lifespan of 4-6 years.
alan-d Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 He's 3. He's got the usual small animal lifespan of 4-6 years. Not now he hasn't!! 1
