Story
Max escaped from home while his mom was bringing in the groceries. Max does not go outside unsupervised; his mom was so worried about him because he is not street-wise. His mom stayed up all night frantically trying to find her handsome boy, but he didn't come home.
Max finally returned home the following day; his tongue was extremely swollen, and blood was coming from his nose and mouth. Max’s mom rushed him to the emergency veterinary hospital; x-rays revealed that his jaw is fractured in two places.
His mom thought Max had been hit by a car, but his veterinarian believes that he was kicked or suffered some other form of blunt trauma to the head. Max is lucky, all his vitals were normal, and the x-rays did not show any other injuries to his body.
Max needs surgery to place a wire in his jaw. Surgery has been estimated at $1,985.55 - $2,056.05. Max’s mom is very low-income; she is mortified that her handsome boy is severely injured and cannot afford his surgery. Max’s mom is syringe feeding him baby food and soupy canned cat food, he is on pain medication, antibiotics, and anti-inflammatory medications, but Max needs surgery as soon as possible.
