Help Wilbur the Guinea Pig Get Life-Saving Surgery

Hi friends, fellow animal lovers, and kind-hearted strangers,

My name is Brittany, and I’m here asking for help on behalf of a very small but very special little guy—my guinea pig, Wilbur.

Wilbur is a 2-year-old fluffball of joy who came into my life through the amazing Guinea Pig Sanctuary. From the moment I met him, he’s been a gentle soul with a heart full of squeaks and an impressive talent for popcorning (that joyful guinea pig hop!) every time he hears the fridge open. He adores his guinea pig pals, lives for snuggling in fleece blankets, and squeaks like a tiny trumpet whenever I walk in the room. He’s family.

Unfortunately, Wilbur recently developed a painful bladder stone—a condition that, if left untreated, can quickly become life-threatening. The only solution is surgery. The good news? He’s young, healthy, and the vet says he has a strong chance of full recovery if we act quickly. But the cost of surgery and post-op care is more than I can cover alone due to being on medical leave this year post-concussion.

That’s where this GoFundMe comes in.

What We’re Raising Funds For:

Surgery to remove the bladder stone

Pre- and post-operative care (imaging, medications, follow-ups)

Emergency transportation and supplies

Estimated Cost: $1,138

(This is the estimated cost after subtracting the funds I've raised before creating this GoFundMe).

If you’ve ever had a pet you love like family, you understand what Wilbur means to me. I’d do anything to give him the healthy, happy life he deserves—and right now, “anything” means asking for help.

Every dollar makes a difference. Whether you can give $5 or $50, your support will go directly toward giving Wilbur a second chance. And if you can’t donate right now, sharing this page with your community means the world.

From the bottom of my heart (and Wilbur’s tiny, fuzzy one), thank you. Your kindness is what makes the world a softer, more compassionate place—not just for people, but for pets like Wilbur too.

With love and squeaks,

Brittany & Wilbur
