Hello,

Our beloved degu, Rico, is going through the most difficult time of his life.

A few days ago, Rico suffered a devastating injury to his hind leg. We rushed him to the veterinarian, hoping that it could be treated, but unfortunately the damage is too severe. The veterinarian informed us that the only way to stop his pain and save his life is to amputate the injured leg.

Despite everything, Rico is still fighting. He eats, responds to us, and wants to live. We want to give him that chance.

Unfortunately, the cost of the surgery, medication, and post-operative care is more than we can currently afford.

We are trying to raise €200 to cover:

• Emergency leg amputation
• Veterinary treatment
• Medication
• Post-operative care

Every donation, no matter how small, brings Rico one step closer to receiving the surgery he urgently needs.

If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser with your friends and family would help us just as much.

We will keep everyone updated throughout Rico's recovery and will share veterinary documents, invoices, and photos so every donor can see exactly how the funds are being used.

Rico is more than just a pet—he is a member of our family. Watching him suffer has been heartbreaking, but we believe that with your kindness, he can have a second chance at a happy, pain-free life.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for reading Rico's story and for any support you can offer.

❤️ Thank you for helping Rico.
