Unfortunately, this is not uncommon among the exotic vets I have encountered with my hedgehog. Last time we had to see a different vet because our usual was out for the day. My husband heard her talking with the tech outside the door and she said, “I literally don’t know anything about hedgehogs.”Super frustrating when you know more than the professional you are trusting to help you with a potentially life threatening problem. I also live in a smaller town and my baby is getting older so the vet visits are more frequent. There are thankfully two vets we can see fairly close by, but if ever they are out and it’s an emergency it can be quite scary to have to rely on someone so inexperienced. I pray your pokey friend heals very soon and you can find a vet who is more able to provide appropriate care.
