Welcome to Tennessee Avenue Animal Hospital, where our experienced veterinary team provides dedicated exotic pet care for Cincinnati's hedgehogs owners. Hedgehogs are small but can develop some significant health issues, including a neurological condition unique to the species.
Hedgehogs are prone to obesity, dental disease, and a progressive neurological condition called Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome. Because they naturally hide discomfort, subtle changes in movement, appetite, or activity level are often the clearest sign that a hedgehog needs veterinary attention.
Your pet's comfort and safety are our top priorities throughout every exotic pet visit at Tennessee Avenue Animal Hospital.
We check body condition, quills, skin, and teeth, along with an assessment of your hedgehog's gait and coordination.
If wobbliness or loss of coordination is present, we evaluate for signs of Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome and other neurological conditions.
We'll discuss diet and activity level, since hedgehogs are prone to obesity when overfed or under-exercised.
Bloodwork or imaging may be recommended depending on your hedgehog's symptoms.
Exotic pets are skilled at hiding signs of illness, which means problems can be well underway before they become obvious at home. Regular veterinary care helps catch health issues early, when they're easiest to treat.
Our team is comfortable examining and treating a wide range of exotic species, going beyond the basics that many general practices offer.
Catching illness early leads to better outcomes and less invasive treatment, especially for species that hide symptoms well.
Many exotic pet health issues trace back to diet, housing, or environment, so we take the time to review these factors as part of your pet's care.
If your pet is showing any of the following, please contact our veterinary team:
An annual wellness exam is recommended for hedgehogs, with prompt evaluation for any wobbliness, weight change, or reduced mobility.
