Symptoms and Treatment
WHS slowly degrades the hedgehog's muscle control. This first appears as a wobble while the hedgehog is attempting to stand still. Over time, the hedgehog will lose control of all muscles from the rear of its body to the front.
There is no known cure for WHS. Vitamin E hides the effects of WHS, but does not slow the disease. A resistance to vitamin E will form and the effects of the disease will continue.
