Hedgehog with serious eye injury recuperating after being rescued in Cork

The ISPCA responded to a call from the public after a passerby notices a hedgehog roaming around a housing estate in Carrigaline, Co Cork, in a disorientated state.

ISPCA Senior Inspector Lisa O’Donovan located the hedgehog and brought it to a local veterinary clinic in Mallow that specialises in wildlife care. The hedgehog, later named George, was admitted for veterinary care as he was suffering from a serious eye injury and was also underweight.
