Please contact your local hedgehog carer on the number noted above.
Hogs are wild animals and like many wild animals do not show pain as you would expect. Although you cannot see any wounds/blood – it is incredibly difficult with all the hogs prickles but dogs leave puncture wounds that can become fatally infected if not treated.
Regarding release once it’s seen a carer then release into your garden or just outside. It’s clearly managed to get in and will be able to exit – but just keep your dog in or on a lead for a day or so until it’s gone
Please don’t take it somewhere else – it’s like dropping you off in a strange country with no money and telling you to survive! It also may have babies at this time of year
