As I write to you, Mocha bunny is being prepped for surgical procedure. This surprising emergency could value nicely over $6,500…however Mocha is value each penny.
I fostered Mocha and her son Latte for six months earlier than everlasting placement opened up at Animal Place for them. Mocha holds a particular place in my coronary heart, and I hope you’ll be part of me in donating towards her emergency veterinary care.
Mocha was rescued in 2023 from a fuel station parking zone, the place six rabbits had been deserted. The rescue that took them in was overwhelmed. I provided to foster Mocha and Latte.
They lived in my spare bed room, having fun with all of the toys, meals, and care they so deserved.
In March of final 12 months, Mocha and Latte arrived at Animal Place, organising store in their very own non-public stall and outside enclosure.
A few days in the past, Mocha appeared off. She wasn’t consuming or pooping. If a rabbit stops consuming, it’s a medical emergency. Their intestine can enter GI stasis, a life-threatening situation that causes the digestive system to cease functioning. If left untreated, deadly quantities of micro organism and fuel may cause a build-up of poisons.
We rushed Mocha to our veterinarian for care. Mocha was radiographed and positioned on IV fluids and ache administration. Radiographs revealed fuel in Mocha’s stomach, whereas bloodwork confirmed Mocha could be affected by a situation referred to as liver lobe torsion. This occurs when one of many 5 lobes of the liver twists again on itself.
An ultrasound did reveal a lobe torsion, and Mocha will want fast surgical procedure to take away the broken lobe.
Proper now, Mocha wants you. We’ve already paid $1,100 in emergency charges and have been quoted $5,500 for the surgical procedure and care. That is an surprising medical value, and it’s also Mocha’s solely probability at survival.
And as soon as we all know extra concerning the success of Mocha’s surgical procedure, you may be the primary to know!

*$1,100 is for emergency care, $5,500 is the estimate for surgical procedure & hospitalization and so quantity would possibly change.
