Supervet viewers were left gushing after Dr Noel Fitzpatrick was able to help save a hedgehog with two broken legs.

The hedgehog, nicknamed Harry, was brought into Fitzpatrick Referrals in Eashing, Surrey, on last night's episode of the hit Channel 4 show after being picked up by concerned staff at charity Wildlife Aid.

Dr Noel impressed fans by performing an intricate operation to repair the damage limbs, despite the fracture being just a few millimetres wide.

One wrote: 'Omg hedgehog tongue that's so cute'.

Another posted: 'Oh my freaking god how gorgeous is the little hedgehog on tonight’s #SuperVet. I’ve always had a soft spot for hedgehogs but oh my he’s precious.'

Harry was bought into the surgery by Wildlife Aid centre workers, who rescued him in an effort to help him live in his natural habitat.

The hedgehog had broken both his back legs, and it was unclear whether the injuries were from a fall, predator or road traffic accident.

But they struggled to correct his tiny broken legs, and took him to Dr Noel's surgery in an effort to get him the help he needed.

Dr Noel explained he needed to fix both broken legs if the animal was going to have a chance of re-entering the wild.

The complex surgery involved creating 'safety pin' style bonds on the hedgehog's tiny legs. Pins were driven into the legs to help the bones bond together.

Dr Noel was able to perform the complex surgery with a crowd of veterinary staff watching him.

To start with, Dr Noel put a narrow pin up along the tibia and through the knee.

The vet then reset it back down into the bottom part of the fracture and inserted pins to hold it in place, before covering the whole thing in putty to create a cast.

The framework works almost like a safety pin, clipping the small animals leg back together in order to help the bones bond together correctly.

And with Dr Noel revealing that hedgehogs are his favourite creatures in the entire universe, it's a good job that the surgery was a success.

Dr Noel later checked up on the hedgehog as he convalesced at Wildlife Aid and it was revealed at the end of the episode that he had been released back to his natural habitat.
