Hey everyone, I’m reaching out because my guinea pig, Chihiro, has a deep wound behind their ear that needs immediate vet attention. The injury looks serious, with missing skin and fur, and while the wound is dry, I’m worried about infection or hidden complications.
Unfortunately, today is Thanksgiving, so I couldn’t go to any vet. I called the emergency vet number in NJ, but I can’t afford the $230 for the visit and treatment. Chihiro is still eating and behaving normally, but I don’t want to take any risks with their health. My grandma says he’s fine since he’s eating, but I separated him from the others, and I’m still worried. She says she’ll only help to put him down if he gets worse, which is just horrible to me.
I’ve set up a Ko-fi account to raise funds quickly, and any amount—big or small—would mean the world to me. Donations will go directly to the vet bill to make sure Chihiro gets the care they need to recover.

If you can’t donate, even sharing this post or giving advice would really help. Thanks for reading and supporting. I also have pictures of Chihiro on my Ko-fi, and I posted a photo of the wound here too.
