I dont know if this is allowed but. My soul mate. Zuko the hedgehog has lymphoma. I cant picture life without him. I have been good about affording his treatment but am scared to start falling short. And ill do whatever it takes. As long as he is happy and thriving and not suffering every cent will go to him.
Help us save Zuko.
Please help save my Soul Pet.
March 31st, 2026 I received that dreaded phone call from my vet that every pet parent fears.
My hedgehog had cancer.
I instantly thought about my other hedgehog Mizuki who passed away from leukemia. I knew how bad it was if they were telling me that. His white blood cell count was DOUBLE what it should be and his spleen was extremely enlarged. We began him on steroids while we waited on more tests results hoping it would be something different.
Thankfully the steroids helped the tumor on his spleen not be as enlarged as it was. He takes steroids daily to this day.
Sadly after more testing and an ultrasound we found out our worst fears were true. April 15th Zuko was diagnosed with lymphoma.
I promised him that day I would do whatever it took to give him the best chance at life.
We were given 2 options on how to treat him, IV chemo through a bag or oral chemotherapy. This would need to be done every 3 weeks for the rest of his life. After talking with his vet team I decided to go with oral chemotherapy. I wanted to give him every chance I could at beating this and live the rest of his life.
May 28th Zuko got his first round of oral chemo. Exactly 1 week later we got his blood work back and we had some good news! His white blood cell count had gone from being more than twice what it should be down to only being slightly high. His red blood cell count came back to normal, he gained weight, and his vet team was happy with how he was responding.
June 18th Zuko got his second round of oral chemotherapy. His white blood cell count is back up, but his vet team thinks he is still doing well enough to continue with treatment.
I have now spent all of my savings and I didn't think it would come to this but I just can't do this alone. I was so sure that I could financially handle this myself but between constantly having ultrasounds, blood work, anesthesia, chemo, medications, follow up visits and any other supportive care Zuko may need. It has quickly added up to more than I can do alone.
Please help me give Zuko the chance to continue fighting!
I will use any and all donations toward his vet expenses. If you aren't able to donate then please help by sharing his story! I can't tell you how much that means to us.
Not only is this going to help zuko fight cancer, but this will also help vets learn more about cancer in hedgehogs. Cancer in hedgehogs is very common but there is not much information on it so any information they can get from Zuko could possibly help save other hedgehogs.
I don't want to give up on him. He has fought so hard already and I know with your help we can continue this fight.
Thank you all so much for any and all donations, shares, prayers, and positive thoughts you send our way. You are helping Zuko fight this and for that I will be forever grateful.
He goes to lsu small animals clinic
Hello team Avatar! I have a hedgehog named Zuko. His whole life has been centered around Avatar. He has even met every main voice actor (except Mei but he will meet her in November). Zuko as of a few months ago has been diagnosed with lymphoma. Cancer. There isnt much study for hedgehogs to this day and I lost his sister Mizuki To leukemia over the course of four days a few years back. I have been good about covering the expenses but am scared to start failing him. I refuse to give up. As long as he is happy and not suffering he is worth every cent and the study of this to save future hedgehogs is important to me.
I got permission to be able to share his story and ask for assistance. And if Firelord Zuko story were ever to end shortly. Everything left is to be donated to the study of hedgehogs. So other parents wouldnt ever have to worry. Thank you everyone and this amazing community.
Again I had permission to post this and hopes it doesnt receive harsh words or ban.

Hello, I have a three year old tux kitty. She's a girl she has a twin sister they were adopted together and have been together since day one. The sister us potty trained and my tux cat i cant potty train her for the life of me. I never owned a cat before and its semi upsetting me. I cant stop her from pooping and peeing EVERYWHERE I dont know what to do. My floors and everything is destroyed she poops in the tub and in front of doors and I dont know why I cant get her to a box. I have her on food for her urine, i used cat enzyme spray, u put her in a cage at night with a box and she will still not use it. I am so clueless and I just want the pottying everywhere to stop. I took her to a cat vet and they said its. Behaviour issue but... what's the fix? How do i potty train this cat? Its so upsetting
Hello, I am a repair person and lately I am anxious. I had a client message me saying a repair I did a month ago is spreading. Im scared. Will i be in trouble? I also had another review the other day the client is mad they still see the impact and claims its uglier than before but.... will i be in trouble? Im scared. I never had either claims like that in my over year being here and take such high pride in my work so I am scared. I dont want to lose my job or anything. Or be viewed less of a worker.
I guess what I am saying is
Is it my fault or will I be in trouble if a repair I did eventually cracked?
If someone is severely unhappy with a repair and left me a bad review will that bite me on the butt down the road?
I am just very anxious
Anyone else still play? Im tired of dead lobbies
I recently had two side by side fillings in the second from the back and im not happy? They seem translucent in color and makes it seem I have a gap/spacing? Opinions? My dentist is a great man and he understands I am very cosmetic so I am upset... will it get more tooth colored? Or will it need to be redone and how do I word it? I have had an insane amount of dental work because I have bad teeth so I want my work to look as real and stuff as possible.
I dont smoke or drink I just am caviety prone to some enamel. I got these fillings done maybe a hour ago
