Help us buy an Ultrasound Scanner for Wild Mammals
Penzance, Cornwall, United Kingdom
Aim
We want to buy a Veterinary Ultrasound Scanner to diagnose if female mammals are pregnant & to detect internal conditions
- We are a hedgehog and small wild mammal charity rescue based in west Cornwall. I am Jill, founder of Hedgepigs and Hoglets Rescue and we have been rescuing, treating and releasing hedgehogs since 2016. We now admit all small mammals and we plan to treat foxes and badgers as soon as we can too. We have a lovely little treatment building with lots of incubators, an oxygenator and new cages but the only resource we lack now is an ultrasound scanner to enable us to find out if our female mammals (hedgehogs, rabbits, foxes, badgers etc) are pregnant so that we give them the right medication or if they have internal conditions we need to treat them for.
We would like to purchase the Scan X Ultrasound Scanner Portable machine with probes and we have been quoted £2,380 to buy this
We pride ourselves in offering work experience to colleges and special educational need students and so training to use this resource will form part of our students learning too
We would be so grateful for your help in supporting us to buy this piece of equipment to save wild mammals lives. Thankyou Jill
