Injured Hedgehog - what to do? Afterhours
update: dog is completely fine, checked inside of his mouth and no blood, he‘s done this before
location: Budapest
I’m dogsitting for family and one of the dogs just caught a hedgehog. There was a decent amount of blood in the dog’s fur around the mouth, but I think it’s from the hedgehog mostly (the dog seems completely fine if not very happy with himself). Hedgehog hasn’t unfurled from his little ball yet and appears to have at least one puncture wound. It is breathing. I’m not really sure what to do? I tried calling just about every after-hour clinic number I could find- only one picked up and they didn’t speak English.
I’m just not sure what to do or who to call? My family members who live in other parts of the city seem to want me to just put the hedgehog back in the garden, but that feels wrong to me since it’s injured.
The Budapest zoo supposedly has a rehabilitation center for hedgehogs?
