Hedgehog balloons up to massive size after developing rare condition
Fox News
A bacterial infection likely caused a hedgehog in England to develop balloon syndrome, a painful and possibly fatal condition.
The hedgehog suffered from a condition known as Balloon Syndrome, Southwest News Service (SWNS) reports. The condition causes gas to get trapped under the skin, which caused the animal’s body to balloon to a massive size.
"Bubbles was brought into Henlow vets by a member of the public who found him walking in the middle of a busy road," veterinary nurse Laura Bernal told SWNS. "They instantly knew something wasn't right, having ballooned three times his normal size to the size of a small melon, however, was light as a feather."
