Strive to feed your hedgehog a diet rich in vitamin E, but keep in mind that this is only a temporary measure to help your hedgehog.  Provide vitamin E rich foods, such as sunflower seeds, almonds, pine nuts, kiwi, and mangoes.  Talk to your vet about introducing a vitamin E supplement into your hedgehog's diet. Some vets may recommend a supplement to slow the symptoms of Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome. A warm atmosphere will keep your hedgehog comfortable as symptoms progress. Keep your hedgehog in a warm area of your home, free from drafts and cold air. Provide extra bedding and blankets so your hedgehog can stay warm. Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome can make it difficult to access food and water. Keep food and water in easy-to-reach places in your hedgehog's cage. If your hedgehog tends to sleep in a particular area of the cage, keep its food and water there so it can eat and drink without moving too much. Hedgehogs with Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome have a reduced ability to groom themselves. They also get messy easier due to tremors. Clean your hedgehog more frequently to help it stay comfortable.  Wash your hedgehog in a sink or tub filled with two to four inches of warm water. Rub a dime-sized dollop of baby shampoo over your hedgehog's back, belly, and feet and then rinse your hedgehog with clean water.  When you're done bathing your hedgehog, gently pat it dry with a clean, dry towel. If your hedgehog has trouble getting up or is constantly laying down, then he may get bedsores. These will require treatment. You may also be able to minimize sores and rashes by keeping your hedgehog clean and dry.

Hemophilia needs to be managed medically, so get a professional diagnosis and treatment plan. Hemophilia can be a very serious condition, so when you call to make the appointment tell the medical personnel what you think is going on. They should get you in to see the doctor relatively quickly. Explain your symptoms and why you think they might be connected to hemophilia. Be prepared to discuss other possible reasons for excessive bleeding with your doctor.  If you bring up hemophilia with your doctor they are likely to do an extensive family history with you to figure out if you have a history of the condition in your family. This is because the condition is so connected to genetic inheritance.  Make a list of all of your symptoms and when they occurred before you go to the doctor's office. Bring that list with you when you see the doctor. Symptoms include bleeding gums, dark urine, bloody nose, blood in stool, and easy bruising. If your doctor thinks it's warranted, you will have testing done to evaluate how quickly your blood clots, what your level of clotting factors are, and whether you have clotting factors as all. Tests will show whether you have hemophilia, what type you have, and how severe it is.  Getting a diagnosis of hemophilia requires a blood test. The blood test looks at the levels of factor VIII and factor IX in the blood, which are the clotting factors in the blood. If initial blood tests show low levels of clotting factors, then your doctor will most likely move on to genetic testing to identify the hemophilia mutation.  There are two types of hemophilia. Type A, which accounts for about 80% of cases, is a deficiency of blood clotting factor VIII while Type B is a deficiency of blood clotting factor IX. Both have identical symptoms, but a blood test can determine which type you have.
