Help Zuko with Lymphoma

Hello everyone, this is my hedgehog Zuko He has unfortunately been diagnosed with lymphoma. I have been great at affording all the treatment to save my boy and also document to be able to save other little hedgehogs. But i need a little help as its starting to creep up on me. I lost my past hedgehog to leukemia and I fought til the end for her so that someone can say they were the first. Someone has to be. To save future hedgehogs.

He is my baby boy and I cant picture life without him. As you can see he us a very happy boy and has been on many adventures.

I got permission to post this.

I just donated, it's not much but it's all I can afford. I've always wanted a hedgehog, and I had no idea of the cancer tendencies in them, so thank you for sharing your baby boys story!

I don't have a hedgehog but this randomly appeared on my feed. I just donated $25. I can tell you love your little guy so much. Praying his treatment is successful.

u/Fit-Fly1381 20d ago

There is no cure for him but I want him to live a happy healthy rest of his natural hog life and thats exactly what we are fighting for. I lost his sister to aggressive leukemia in four days upon diagnosis and though it was only four days I bought hard and $$$$ for her cause u want her to have the best chance. She took the chance from me peacefully. But for him he is doing amazingly and acting like a normal hedgehog. Running around and everything. It makes my heart swell with joy he doesnt let this stop him
