East-Asian Porcupine rescue

This Monday morning our week started with a busy day in our wildlife hospital. A malayan porcupine that was kept at a temple in Prachuapkhirikhan province was brought in with a bleeding nose and our veterinary team quickly started with a diagnose and treatment. The porcupine has a huge swelling on the nose which turned out to be a tumor.
Later in the day the porcupine was found strong enought for surgery and our team swiftly removed the rather large tumor. Our two vets were happy to be working with a volunteer veterinarian with many years of experience and within an hour the surgery was over.
The porcupine is right now recovering from surgery and arleady back on its feet. We hope he will fully recover.
