- A 5-year-old female African hedgehog presented with hematuria, and cultures revealed the presence of susceptible Enterococcus and gamma-Streptococcus bacteria.
- An ultrasound showed an abnormal structure near the reproductive tract, leading to exploratory surgery and ovariohysterectomy.
- Pathology revealed multiple uterine issues, including a spindle cell tumor, and after surgery, the hematuria resolved, allowing the hedgehog to live for another 19 months before dying from a different cancer.
