OK, they look nothing like Sonic, but they are super cute.
Do you have a veterinary school in your area? You could contact them about checking Jaime. Being an unusual pet, vet students might be interested in the rare experience. Hopefully, he just has a lipoma.
That's actually great advice, but unfortunately there aren't any close by. Thanks for the recommendation. I'll be sure to move somewhere close to one in the future though. It's a good idea.

Maybe this will help?
I hope Jaime is ok.
I checked it out and commented, hopefully something comes of it, but looks like nothing is happening on the page. We'll see. Thanks a bunch!
How old is the hedgehog?
From what the former owners told me when I got him, he'd be just over 2 years old now. That's if they actually knew his correct age. Apparently hedgies live 3-5 years in captivity and usually get the cancers then. Ugh.
$10 is coming your way. I love pets and always had an affinity for hedgehogs as a little kid. Get well soon, Jaime.
Wow, I don't know what to say but thank you! I am forever in your debt for your kindness. I'm actually right there with you. When I was younger, like 6 or 7, I encountered my first hedgehog and fell in love. I was surprised as to how soft they actually felt and how funny they act. Again I really appreciate your help.
No offense, because I hope you can get your pet treated, but if you aren't in a place financially to cover your pet for medical emergencies to a reasonable degree then you shouldn't have a pet unless you're prepared to watch it suffer and/or die. Whether its a dog or cat or hedgehog you should have a decent savings put aside for when something unexpected pops up. If cancer in hedgehogs is common, you perhaps should have seen this coming.
You know what, you're completely right. I didn't really think of it as I was intoxicated at the idea of getting basically two-for-one with hedgehog brothers, but I also figured I had much more time, as they usually get it in their later stages of life. I got them when there were apparently 6 months old. I honestly will not get any more pets after these cuties until I am better off financially so that I can support them. It just wasn't really an issue at the time when I was living off college loans because whenever I worked, the money would be straight to me. It's a tough lesson to learn. Luckily there are some people that are close to me who have offered to help some. The hope was to not get any more loans on top of what I already owe for college. But yeah, you're totally right and I feel like shit for basically being in a tough position for even providing for essentially my children.
