Help us cover the cost of ongoing vet care for Maurice

We wanted to support a local rescue and were thrilled when we saw Maurice's bio. When we brought him home it was with a clean bill of health. We considered ourselves very lucky. Two weeks after bringing him home I was let go from my employment. We had managed to save a little so I wasn't immediately concerned. Over the last week those savings have been wiped out by several emergency Vet visits. Initially we were told it was pneumonia. Maurice has not responding to the course of antibiotics prescribed so we had to bring him back in. After more tests we were told they found a heart murmur and arrhythmia. He had an echocardiogram and ultrasound done but we still have no solid answers as his heart appeared sound. They have no idea if the fluid in his lungs is causing the murmer and arrhythmia or vice versa. Now we are waiting for an appointment with an internal specialist to dig a little deeper. Seeing him so sick and struggle to breathe is heart wrenching. That is why I'm here. I have not been able to find work yet and our savings are gone. The thought of not being able to pay for Maurice's ongoing care is absolutely devastating. We have no where else to turn and simply can't watch him suffer. We understand things are hard all around but I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I didn't try every avenue available. We love him that much.

I've included two of the invoices for some of the care we've already paid for. We also had x-rays and other tests run at our regular vet.
