Save Finn: Sebastião can't afford the emergency vet

Please help Sebastião pay for Finn's emergency treatment at Salvador Animal Hospital.

Salvador
Finn is my rabbit of six years. On 25 December we rushed to Salvador Animal Hospital with severe tick fever. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $1,050. They have stabilized Finn, but the treatment can't wait beyond April. Finn is more than a pet - Finn walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $95 toward the bills and asked for a payment plan. Whatever I can't raise, I'll repay to anyone who needs it back. If more is raised than needed, the surplus goes to Salvador Animal Hospital's charity fund for other animals. Where the $1,050 goes: • Emergency surgery: $590 • Hospitalization (3 nights): $230 • Medication and follow-up visits: $95 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $135 Every share and every dollar helps. - Sebastião

  2. Small update. $696 so far, I met with the vet clinic and confirmed the amounts.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 17% funded and the plan for diagnostics is now scheduled.

      Thanks for sharing this, Sebastião. We've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean. My neighbor in Madurai donated after I showed her your page

      • Eugene Elliott

        wishing you the best, Sebastião. Poor Finn, hope they feel better soon. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Bakersfield.

          • Joyce R. Franklin

            Wishing you the best, Sebastião. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 26 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything

              Give Finn a hug from me. All the best.

              • Marcel Horst König

                So sorry you're going through this. We've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless
