Overview
- Evelyn Burdecki found a bleeding frog on a parking lot near Düsseldorf at night, placed it in a box and drove it to an emergency veterinary clinic.
- She documented the rescue on Instagram for roughly 934,000 followers, named the frog “Fridolin,” and joked about the fairy‑tale frog prince.
- The clinic treated the animal, which did not survive and was euthanized, according to her account shared by multiple outlets.
- Within hours she received a €313.80 invoice for a visit she says lasted about 20 minutes, adding she had not been informed about likely costs beforehand.
- Burdecki said she can pay the fee but advised asking about prognosis and pricing or seeking volunteer, lower‑cost options so unexpected bills don’t deter rescuers.
