Office manager Jillian Santana says Maverick has a valve that is constricting his esophagus, and has to be fed a liquid diet. It is best for Maverick to be sitting up when fed, so the food is able to pass.
His owners were going to euthanize him, but the hospital asked the owners to sign Maverick over into their care to try and save him.
The surgery cost would range between $8,000 - $10,0000 at Cornell’s specialty hospital.
Peekskill Cortlandt Veterinary Hospital has started to raise over $2,380 through their GoFundMe page in the hope of giving Maverick a chance.
