Do Hedgehogs Need Vaccines?


When buying or adopting a new pet you may be used to checking on vaccination records and vet visit records. But are there such records to check for with a hedgehog? In other words, does a hedgehog need to have vet visits and if so do those visits include vaccinations? All pets including the hedgehog should see a vet for at least a first time visit to establish a medical and health history. During this visit your vet can help you determine what vaccinations are needed and what ones are mandatory for your area. Most hedgehogs do not need vaccines. Unlike cats and dogs, hedgehogs are not known to carry diseases such as distemper or rabies. However, your town or region may still require a vaccine. If so, talk to your vet Sonoma County, CA for the best way to proceed in vaccinating or not vaccinating. Schedule an appointment today!
