In Kirensk, a hedgehog with a rare diagnosis was urgently operated on.
The owners of the pet went to the veterinary clinic when the female developed strange symptoms. Veterinarians examined the animal and diagnosed with uterine prolapse. Emergency surgery was scheduled immediately.
Doctor Anastasia Valisevich explained how important it is to provide timely assistance in this case:
Delay can lead to shock, sepsis and death of the animal.
Already on the operating table, veterinarians discovered a tumor in the organ, so it was necessary to remove it entirely.
The hedgehog has now regained consciousness, is taking a course of antibiotics and is recovering from surgery.
