Help Aurora get surgery

Donation protected
This is Aurora.

Aurora is a white mini lop bunny. She is just 4 months old, and was adopted last January as a gift for Lana.

Since then, Aurora has been a wonderful companion to Lana, who's taking great care of her. Lana is autistic and Aurora is her only support at home, being her comfort pet and helping her through hard times.

Lana is the best owner Aurora could've asked for, and Aurora is an angel that showed up to protect her at the right time. However, lately she has had some health issues. Her eye started tearing up and her nose was runny, which concerned Lana. In a few days, an abscess has showed up on her face, almost the size of a ping-pong ball. It's swollen and hard to the touch.


Aurora was taken to the vet and has done a few exams and a radiography. She has a dental abscess which compromises her superior right molars. A simple drain was suggested, but the abscess is already too big for this procedure to be done without a surgery, as it could damage her eye due to its proximity to it, causing her terrible pain and opening doors to worse infections. The only way to remove it would be by surgically draining the abscess as well as one of her molars.




In the words of the vet: "It's a very extensive injury that compromises all of Aurora's right side. Unfortunately she's a pet that will have to go through some procedures throughout her life, mainly because of the teeth wearing out - as we'll remove the top teeth, the bottom ones won't have any support."

Aurora is in lots of pain, and so is Lana. Without this procedure, it only tends to get worse. However, surgery in the veterinary clinic they attend is extremely expensive: summing the costs of anesthesia, the surgery, and the following hospitalization of Aurora, it would reach multiple Brazilian reais. Our current estimate according to previous hospitalizations on the same clinic and the vet's advice would be for ~3000 BRL, close to 500 EUR.

GoFundMe doesn't allow funds to be sent directly to Brazil, so a Portuguese friend is responsible for collecting them and sending them to Lana. He was the one who adopted Aurora, with the help of more of Lana's friends. As you can see, Lana is very loved by her friends and an incredible person overall - however, this value is too high for us to cover it by ourselves, and therefore we ask for any help you can give (sharing is also very much appreciated!).

Thank you so much for your time and generosity. We hope for Aurora to get better quickly, so she can go back to the safety of her home in Lana's arms.
