Wildlife Aid Worming Admin Sheet for Hoglets
This regimen is new and was developed by Wildlife Aid who are having success with it. Here at the Hog's Bum we've used it on one patient who was not responding to anything else and she has now recovered. Be warned though, this requires a lot of medications and not all vets will run with it.
I have included on the form the original message from Wildlife Aid along with contact details for your vet if they wish to clarify anything.
Bunnell Data Collection Sheet
This chart is for records of individual animals and will need to be forwarded to Dr Toni Bunnell who is doing a study on pesticides and their effects on hedgehogs.
Pygmy Hog Care Sheet
African Pygmy Hogs bred and kept as pets are a completely different species to our native wild hogs and as such need totally different care. These instructions were written by an expert APH breeder and carer.
