Sandra Lowe works day and caring for the animals. We arrange for a second hospital shed, where wounded ‘hogs’ can hibernate
Dudley the hedgehog was found abandoned by the roadside in June last year. He was a newborn, scarcely 48 hours old. He weighed just 37 grams. His eyes and ears wouldn’t open. A kind stranger knew just where to take him.
Sandra Lowe snapped on some blue surgical gloves and went to work. She mixed up a milk solution, for nutrition, with cold fennel tea, to stop the bloat. Dudley had to be fed with a syringe every two hours. Lowe worked on him all night.
