Yay !
A hedgehog that became inflated to twice its size has been returned to the wild after being "popped" in Cheshire. The hedgehog, known as Monty, was diagnosed with "balloon syndrome" - a rare condition caused by gas collecting under the skin. He was treated at Stapeley Grange Wildlife Centre in Nantwich after being found in Doncaster.
An inspector said the hedgehog's condition was "the worst" she had ever seen. Staff at the centre named him "Monty" after the Montgolfier brothers who invented the hot air balloon. Due to his condition, Monty had been unable to walk and could not get all four paws on the ground at the same time - which meant he ended up walking round in circles.
