http://www.foxnews.com/science/2018/01/19/disabled-hedgehog-receives-hydrotherapy-treatment.html A hedgehog who was founded last year who has been suffering with hind legs has been currently undergoing hydrotherapy from animal Welfare experts. They have named the hedgehog Phelps just like the U.S Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps. Phelps has been at the center since November and at first they didn't realize that Phelps had a problem with his hind legs until he uncrawled them. The vet recommended physiotherapy due to the fact that hedgehogs crul up when scared so they ended up putting him in a bath of shallow water. By doing this Phelp was able t build up strength in his legs without having to bear the weight. Luckily, Phelps was able to regain the strength in his legs and will be released one the weather gets warmer.
