Today I got up fairly early, and went to do the horses. with Lit'lun, we did a bit of shopping then came home only to find that Twiglet is not very well, all she ate last night was the mince I gave her, no hard feed and no water, she also hasn't poo'd! the wheel is spotless, and Twiglet herself seems very agitated.
Lit'lun and I take everything out and put fresh in, I even gave her some egg but she wasn't interested. This is all I need, as poorly hedgehog just as I am about to go away for a week on a work course!!
Eventually I decided to ring the vet as I can't go away not knowing what is going on.
It is fortunately the exotics vet himself who is on call today, and as he saw her a few weeks ago to trim her nails he remembers her. After a brief description of the signs and symptoms he decides it sounds like colitis, he gave me instructions and we decide not to take her in to the surgery at that point. (by nine o clock she has pooped! yay)
At four thirtyish my Husband returns from his weekend away, I will get to see him for just a few hours before bed then I am off to my course first thing.
