Hi Hettihog,
Sadly his leg will need to be amputated. He has a puncture wound and a break! Poor little thing.
I have just spoken to BHPS who have advised that-after the op- he should probably be overwintered even though he is a big adult and released back into the garden in spring.
Not sure there will be anywhere that can take him with all the little ones that will need help too.
Just hoping he survives the op at this stage.
