The staff at St. Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital in the UK can't figure out why Spud the hedgehog has lost his spines. 

He gets a warm bath and baby oil massage every day to try and heal his skin, and vets are looking for alternative medicine treatments that might solve his condition. 

But other than being spineless, Spud appears to be a perfectly normal hedgehog.
