I saw mites on my hedgie once and when I went to bring her in, a vet tec was like- “are you sure it was a mite? Cause Hedgehogs have dry skin and they flake off pretty bad sometimes.” And I paused for a second before saying: “I saw it climb up her face.” XD needless to say the tec didn’t need any more convincing. Lolz. But I deeply appreciate her trying to help me avoid costing money if I didn’t have to.

So I guess sonic just got hit by robotnik and now he is in a animal hospital

[pamagujar]

Do we get to see the outcome? That's a charming episode because we never get to see and learn about hedgehogs. Thanks!

[rheaking]

Is Dr K going to be renewed? I'm missing this show terribly❤️

[seventiesgirl]

Anyone else think Ashley is an awesome vet tech?

Mites are so tiny, but they can become quite troublesome

I didn't know you could have a hedgehog says pets. I wonder if you need special papers to have a hedgehog. Well I guess it's not that difficult to take care of a hedgehog and since they are insectivores you could just feed them crickets or any other bugs. But I don't know how to take care of a hedgehog.

I want to find every species of Hedgehog and Tenrec on our channel.

So... There are no other sickness other than mites that causes hedgehogs to have flaky skin and losing quills?

[vonGod]

what is the point of microscope exam if you're just going to treat for mites anyway? Seems like a typical modern medicine approach of "let's just give you antibiotics/vaccines/prozac just in case"
