Inflated Hedgehog.

By Miss Cellania in Animals & Pets on Jun 5, 2007 at 4:58 am

A woman in Leatherhead, England took a hedgehog to the vet because it was so big it couldnâ€™t move. The animal was suffering from â€œballooningâ€, a condition in which air escapes from the lungs and is trapped under the skin. Vets inserted a tube into the hedgehog to release the air, essentially deflating him. Link -via Arbroath

Neat stuff from the NeatoShop:

It’s not your fault you are overweight, it’s cortisol, a stress hormone that forces air into hedgehogs turning them into football shape lumps.

But there’s hope, tryptocaliprolifapiloninalinole, a safe, herbal cortisol reducing agent. Call now, only $19.99, your bloated hedgehog will thank you.

And yes, I think I’m funny.

that would have been awesome if upon the insertion of the needle the little guy flew out of the vets hands and around the room until he was fully deflated!

I know a president that requires this same procedure.
