A hedgehog has had to be deflated by rescuers after swelling up to the size of a football.
The female hedgehog, which had inflated to twice its normal size, was discovered in a field near Quedgeley, Gloucestershire.
She was so large she was spotted by a passenger on a passing bus.
At Wild Hogs Hedgehog Rescue, the hedgehog was diagnosed with balloon syndrome caused by gas collecting under the skin.
Manager Emily Harper said: "I have deflated her as much as I can.
