Thomas.
Thomas, his hutch and bowl were stolen from the front yard of the Pettigrew family home in Glenleith on Sunday night.
The pet was found in his home yard in Garden Pl on Tuesday with injuries including a ruptured eyeball and swollen back.
The ODT reported the family had decided to have the 3-year-old guinea pig euthanased because of the cost of surgery.
A Givealittle fundraising campaign was started about 9pm on Thursday to raise the $1000 needed for Thomas to have the operation on Monday.
The target was reached just after noon yesterday.
Nathan Pettigrew said the campaign was "quite exceptional".
"There are some amazingly generous people out there."
