Max's Dental Treatment: A Call for Help

Update: the vet wants to charge for another exam on top of the antibiotics, so I've had to up the goal. I'm so sorry to ask for help but I've got to get him checked out, he keeps developing pus sores and breaking them open by scratching them.

Hey there, this is Max (or as I call him, my grumpy ol' man).

Max is an elderly cat who is roughly 13-15 or so (not sure as he was adopted from a neighbor who didn't know his age). Max has several bad teeth and has an abscess under his chin. The vet says the only way to prevent this from coming back is removing a couple of teeth.

I really want to care for my old boy but my family has been hit with some hard luck and keeping up with bills has been a nightmare.

Any help to at least get Max an antibiotics treatment and maybe treat at least one tooth is appreciated!

Also any surplus money left after treatment will go towards cat food/litter.
