I've never owned a hedgehog so I have no personal experience. Google recommends this: Hedgehog Diseases/Parasitic - Animal Hospitals-USA (http://www.animalhospitals-usa.com/small_pets/hedgehog_diseases_parasitic.html)

I believe All Kinds Vet (301-994-9919) in Callaway will see hedgehogs....I've seen alot of 'odd' critters in there being taken care of. Just call and ask. They also have a website.

Probably earmites...ivermec should take care of it...if you can use it on a kitten I would ASSUME you could use it on a hedgehog..

Awww, poor Jellybean, he had a crusty ear too.

I played Sonic once but that's about all my experience with hedgehogs. Sorry razzle dazzle :frown:

what did you do about it?

How is the litle guy doing?

what did you do about it?

Wasn't mine, it belonged to another forumite and sadly, I don't know the story, I just remembered this picture that was posted and that he had that nasty ear and his name was Jellybean.

Was wondering how Razzle's newphews hedgehog is doing.....not that I'm not conercerned about all of the loved animals........
