Seoul Virus Testing
*EDIT*
unfortunately we had another live positive in our rattery and we have to test again on April 24th. Our testing costs will be roughly $250 this time. Any help is extremely appreciated
As many of you know, about a month ago I had three rats test positive for the Seoul Virus. Because of the possibility of the seriousness of the virus, all rats needed to be euthanized or the positive and his cagemate needed to be euthanized and the rest needed to be tested out of my pocket, which was what my health department has ordered. Unfortunately I could not, in any way test 47 rats, so I had to downsize and euthanize quiet rats over the span of a few weeks. Testing is $10.90 per rat, my whole goal is to test all of my rats for Seoul Virus. I'm asking for help for others to sponsor a rat to test. Our vet fees will be a $67 home visit and $72.25 per hour. We are hoping to finish our testing in under 2 hours. I will have rats posted to my rattery page, if you'd like to pick a specific rat to pay for, you're more than welcome, if you'd like to just sponsor a random rat, I can pick one out for you. What I'd like in return, is for a message with your address. For anyone who donates money to this cause, you will be getting information on your sponsored rat, as well as a thank you card and a picture. I'm hoping this way will make it more of an experience, than just money being donated for a random animal. Honestly any help for any of this will be very much appreciated. This has been so hard on our family, our rats, and the rat community as a whole. I want to be able to offer virus free rats, with 100% certainty and proof, that they have been tested. Any amount counts, I will attach the link to my Rattery below. Please be patient while I get pictures of everyone into an album for you. Again, thank you so much for any help your able to give, even if it's just a "share".
