I wanted to check in and let you all know that we have some health issues with Tenzing. About two weeks ago, we had to take him in for a vet appointment as he was lethargic and not eating well. When the vet examined him, he found a very large mass on his right shoulder. We immediately OKed surgery, which was very serious for such a little guy and such a large mass (about 20 g for the mass, about 330 g for the hedgehog). Unfortunately, the biopsy indicated that it was cancer, coupled with a lot of infection and inflammation. We’re treating it with antibiotics to knock out the infection and some chemo for the tumor. Yes, we can do chemo for a hedgehog. Veterinary medicine is amazing stuff and Tenzing has the best vet possible for this situation.
Tenzing Norgay, our little “surprise” hedgehog had his first birthday on July 8, so we naturally held a birthday party for the little man.
Our nearly nine month old hedgehog, Tenzing, has discovered that women (or at least female hedgehogs) are very interesting, after all.
Our friends Ashley and Andrew were in town, and had their lovely girls Tiptoe, Mandy, and Buttercup with them. Tenzing got to meet both Tiptoe and Mandy, but his heart (or, we assume, his heart) was given to Mandy alone. We have photos of the event for your enjoyment.
Just don’t laugh at Tenzing — he is, after all, the equivalent of a teenager.
