Swollen hedgehog 'size of a football'

The female had grown to the size of a football and so big she was spotted by a passenger on a passing bus.

The spiky creature, found near Quedgeley, Gloucestershire, was taken to the nearby Wild Hogs Hedgehog Rescue and diagnosed with balloon syndrome.

This painful and potentially fatal condition is caused by their ability to curl up, meaning they have a gap under their skin.
