Save Max: Niels can't afford the emergency vet

Please help Niels pay for Max's emergency treatment at the Rotterdam Emergency Vet Clinic.

Max is my rescue greyhound of nine years. On 26 December we rushed to the Rotterdam Emergency Vet Clinic with a ruptured cruciate ligament. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $1,900. They have stabilized Max, but the treatment can't wait beyond April. Max is more than a pet - Max is the reason I get out of bed. I have already put $105 toward the bills and asked for a payment plan. Whatever I can't raise, I'll repay to anyone who needs it back. If more is raised than needed, the surplus goes to the Rotterdam Emergency Vet Clinic's charity fund for other animals. Where the $1,900 goes: • Emergency surgery: $650 • Hospitalization (4 nights): $750 • Medication and follow-up visits: $300 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $200 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

            Thank you. If you're in Rotterdam I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.

        • Good luck. Hope the recovery goes smoothly. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best

          • Hope it all works out, Niels. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Rotterdam.

            • We've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean. After 16 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
