Hi, this is Sachi, a Japanese living in Adelaide.

I’m raising funds for my beloved guinea pig, Mikan.

Mikan has severe dental disease. Because of an infection, he already had his lower front teeth removed, and the surgery and treatments have already cost over $4,000.

Recently, his condition became worse. The vet says he has end-stage dental disease and that his teeth will continue to grow abnormally. Even after trimming, they grow back within weeks. To help him eat and live comfortably, he will likely need dental treatment every 3–4 weeks, which costs around $1,000 each time

The vet suggested euthanasia. I understand why they say that. But when I see him still trying so hard to eat and live, I feel I want to protect this tiny life as long as he is still fighting

There may not be a right answer. I just want to give him a chance and keep him comfortable for as long as possible.

If you can support Mikan’s treatment, it would mean the world to us.

Thank you for reading our story.
