Clyde's Emergency: Help Him Heal and Thrive

Please help Clyde!

My baby, Clyde, is injured. I found him laying down in front of the door not moving. I finally was able to get up to see a disoriented and confused kitty. I went to pick him, but then he screamed. After putting him back down, I realized Clyde was not acting or looking normal. His left hip area was 4x the size of his right. Noticing he didn't put any weight or walk on it, I knew the emergency vet was a must.

I then took him to an emergency vet at 4:20pm. Which we were told vitals were taken and “mostly stable.” Around 10:20pm I was finally taken into a back room and spoken to from a Veterinarian. I was told he looks like he has a fractured femur, without X-Rays we would not know for sure. The X-Rays costed $600. Something I could not afford on top of treatment. Treatment for a fractured femur is either surgery with a metal plate and screws or an amputation. This will be figured out with the upcoming visit in the next 48 hours.

For now, I have a $450 medical bill, with more to come following an upcoming visit for a X-Rays and treatment. I am a young college student that cannot afford this, but I will not give up on him.

Clyde is the coolest cat I have ever had. Hes more than just my cat, hes my best friend, and my son. He has just turned a year old on April 9th. He was my sweet bottle baby from only three days old.

Clyde got to see a regular vet today. After getting a few x-rays, we found out the top of his femur (that fits into the hip) is broken and no longer in socket. Surgery to repair his hope bone and a new socket is estimated to be around $1000. See image below of his x-ray

Please help Clyde so I can ensure he gets the best care possible.
