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.

“In retirement, only money and symptoms are consequential.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“To me, nothing can be more important than giving children books, It’s better to be giving books to children than drug treatment to them when they’re 15 years old. Did it ever occur to anyone that if you put nice libraries in public schools you wouldn’t have to put them in prisons?”
—Fran Lebowitz (20th century)
