Save Max: Paul can't afford the emergency vet
Please help Paul pay for Max's emergency treatment at Lagos Animal Hospital.
🇳🇬 Nigeria541 views
Max is my tabby kitten of six years. On 14 August we rushed to Lagos Animal Hospital with a ruptured cruciate ligament. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $300.
They have stabilized Max, but the treatment can't wait beyond October.
Max is more than a pet - Max is the reason I get out of bed. I have already put $35 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 Lagos Animal Hospital's charity fund for other animals.
Where the $300 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $125
• Hospitalization (4 nights): $65
• Medication and follow-up visits: $50
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $60
Thank you for reading my story.

Thinking of you and your family, Paul. Give Max a hug from me
Wishing you the best, Paul. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. I hope October is when things finally get easier. God bless.
Thinking of you, Paul. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home!
Best of luck, Paul. We've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean
So sorry you're going through this, Paul. Give Max a hug from me. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Springfield
sending strength, Paul. Hope you get there. Thinking of Lagos.
Hang in there, Paul. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together.
