Could anyone please help me gather the veterinarian fee for my cat Mac's emergency dental visit tomorrow morning?

I'd need about $200 more.

75/200

He's been brave and stoic until we could get an appointment, but I need to take him in and get him looked at. And at least get him something for the gum pain and inflammation. 馃樋

It's a good local vet and I'm sure they'll have advice on what we can do to take care of it long-term, but right now poor Mac just needs to be out of discomfort. I'd be deeply grateful and so would he. 馃挋

Any money you could share to help me with this would be amazing.

And even if you can't donate, would you please boost this for visibility?

Thank you all for the help! I've been able to get Mac in to see the vet yesterday. I was pretty drained or I'd have posted already. The vet examined his mouth and gave him antibiotics and pain injections to get him to feel better for now. We're going to follow up in a couple weeks (or sooner if necessary) to see if that helped or if he needs a couple teeth out. She said that with checkups and meds the tooth removal could wait until after the trip to get my kittens.

The teeth themselves are ok, they are just potentially interacting with his gums in a way that causes an autoimmune flare-up called stomatitis. A lot of cats have it.

Mac is in good health otherwise.

The pain meds already seem to have helped him feel better. He seems in less discomfort and his eyes aren't as weepy anymore (that was a symptom last December too). And his overall vibe is one of relief and gratitude.

So I wanted to pass on his thanks to you. 馃挏馃樅
