Please Help with Maxx’s Surgery

To anyone who knows me knows I don’t like to ask for help, desperate times call for desperate measures. When it rains it pours... my baby Maxx went to the vet for an ear infection, I noticed a lump on his bum a month ago and had them check it out while he was there. They took some fluid and sent it to the lab. It’s a Perianal Tumor, they won’t know if it is cancerous or Benign until they remove it and send it out. If it is not surgically removed the Veterinarian said there is a possibility of the tumor becoming ulcerated, Necrotic (the flesh dying), infection, the tumor becoming larger or Multinodular. With the winter coming and my husbands work slowing down, bills are piling up, trying to stay afloat and then we get this news with the quote Maxx and I have been through so much, if you know Maxx you know he is a special boy! There is no one like him. He is only 8 and still has a lot of life left. Please if you can, anything will help, if you can’t help please share. I hate even asking for help but I just don’t want to take the chance of something bad happening and it end up costing more if the surgery isn’t done. I hope Everyone has a Merry Christmas and stay safe
