Hephaestus

Hephaestus Hephaestus

Admittance date: 22nd January 2025

Hephaestus was picked up by a member of the public and taken to a vets who then called us. He was suffering from multiple wounds on his side and also an injury to his tail which has resulted in part of it being missing/bone exposed. He's been seen by our vets and has had the exposed bone removed, and has been on a course of antibiotics and painkiller. Currently having bandage changed on his tail and wound cleaning. Once we're comfortable it's healed over enough we will release him back home.

19/02 - after his tail wound healed, we ended up keeping Hephaestus in due to his poo being quite wet/cow-pat like. Following a course of digestive aid and wormer, this gradually improved up until the point that he was again passing solid poo. He was successfully released back home on the 19th February.

Hephaestus was released back into the wild on 19th February 2025
