hi everybody
My hermann came out of hibernation and developed septicaemia
As this was my first hibernation I had no ideas what septicaemia looked like and googled this site plus elsewhere - so I thought I would post some pics so that you know to act quickly if this happens to your fella or lass.
Please take them to the vet ASAP because they need antibiotics
And can be fatal but more curable if caught early
Roxy-Lou had purple tinge on her underside that just appeared. Cause was not having pooped out everything before hibernation - guess we will be waiting a few more days next time. Roxy-Lou is now fine thank God and a few injections cleared up the infection within 2 weeks
I hope this helps someone out.
