Most medical problems in Hedgehogs can be prevented/rectified by keeping the Hedgehog in a suitable environment. Important factors to consider are the temperature (including changes between day and night), the exposure to light during daylight hours, and enough space/facilities to run around. {% hint style="warning" %} "Huffing" and curling is normal behaviour. {% endhint %} If Fluffy is cold and/or less responsive than usual, she has had a hibernation attempt, and must be gently warmed up to normal body temperature (20-25°c). If you are able to determine a minor injury which will heal by itself over time (e.g. limping with no broken bones), you may administer some painkillers. This can be done by removing all of Fluffy's food except for that which is infused (by soaking) with the painkiller liquid; once the medicated food is consumed you should return Fluffy's regular food. Be sure to observe that the medication has been consumed. Alternatively, if equipped, you may inject the painkiller into one of Fluffy's meal-worms immediately before feeding it to her as a treat. {% hint style="danger" %} Maximum 0.1ml Meloxicam (commonly prescribed for cats) per day. {% endhint %} If fluffy is obviously injured or unwell, consult a vet for the best course of action. Fluffy is registered at [Vets4Pets in Kettering](https://www.vets4pets.com/find-a-practice/vets4pets-vets-in-kettering/). --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://fluffy.mcklatch.com/taking-care-of-fluffy/medication.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
