Iivo memorial fund to help cover IC vet costs

Last night we received the devstating news that Nina Lindqvist beloved young rhodesian ridgeback Iivo lost his battle against an unknown medical condition. Iivo fought for his life at the IC unit at the UNI Animal Hospital for four days until his heart could not hold anymore. In Nina’s words:

“If only love could have saved you.

You would have lived forever.

Viimeinen käsky, vapaa.

Rakkaus ei kuole koskaan.

Nina”

Nina has given so much for the Rhodesian ridgeback breed in Finland and internationally working tirelessly and being instrumental in finding a gene test for epilepsy, devoting huge time and effort to the Finnish Ridgeback club, arranging shows and tests, answearing ridgeback enthusiasts any questions or queries and so, so much more. She is a great friend and breeder.

Iivos veterinary costs from the ICU are astronomical and even if we can not bring Iivo back, at least we can try ease Nina’s grief by helping her cover these enormous veterinary costs. Please give what you can to Iivos memorial fund. Thank you !
