Long story short, Little Dude fell off the couch, landed funny and broke his leg the other day. We took him to an emergency vet who put him in a cast and recommended immediate surgery. It is a clean break, and it won't heal on its own.
Problem is, we can't afford the $6k they quoted us. They said we could surrender him to an organization that would get him the help he needs, but it has been 2 days and we haven't been able to get ahold of them. We asked about putting him down, but everyone we've contacted said that he is too young and they won't put him down since his leg is fixable. The pain pills the vet gave us are keeping him calm, but we have no clue what to do next.
Anyone have any advice? We are located in South East Wisconsin, if that helps.
Edit: we did start a GoFundMe. Another place quoted us at $4500 for the surgery over the phone, and we're working on getting that into writing ASAP to make our GFM more trustable.
Edit edit: Another place gave us an estimate of $3500.. Still very expensive, but definitely more achievable.
