About this campaign

Houdini (often called Dini) came into my life about two years ago. He is a 2 year old Netherland Dwarf with a huge personality! He lives with me my family, my two dogs and his partner Lola whom he grooms constantly. Dini earned his nickname because he hops around with such energy, always giving kisses to everyone he meets. He has been my best friend and pet “soulmate” since the moment we met.

This is an acute life-threatening emergency. Dini was diagnosed today with severe GI Stasis, a condition rapidly fatal in rabbits. We had an urgent visit to Mount Laurel Animal Hospital. He is critical, receiving strong pain meds (Meloxicam, Gabapentin), antibiotics, and syringe-fed Critical Care to force gut movement. If he doesn't pass stool or eat soon, he needs an urgent return to the ER.

Dini is my whole world. He's incredibly curious and affectionate, demanding attention by nudging my hand or sitting right on my chest for head rubs. His favorite game is zooming across the room and then flopping for a nap. The bond we share is irreplaceable. I have struggled with mental health for many years and his hops and kisses are what keep me smiling. I cannot imagine my life without him.

This is an unexpected, sudden major expense. I do not have an emergency fund equipped to handle a critical exotic animal crisis of this scale. Facing the very real possibility of a 2nd emergency visit for X-rays and hospitalization, I’m turning to your supporters for help.
