Lemu is a 2 month old Emu in Newark, MO, who needs $600 for Surgery for Slipped Tendon in Right Hock Joint.

Lemu was a bday gift from my parents on April 18th when he was 8 days old named after the emu (Limu) in the liberty mutual insurance commercial there are 6 laying chickens (hens only) that are 1 year old and 1 male guinea fowl that is less than a year old that are at the home

Lemu has a slipped tendon in the right hock joint that needs surgery in order for him to survive after many many calls to veterinarians I'd finally found one that would see him and informed me that without surgery they'd recommend euthanizing him (which I cannot do) and his only chance at living a full quality life is to have the surgery

Lemu has hardly ever not been right by my side since the day we met even goes shopping with me goes for drives and play dates to my parents even stayed at a hotel with me once because when I dropped him off at the babysitter I was sure he was gonna hurt himself trying to get out to find me he's been my companion, best friend and a very very loving part of my family

My husband is still recovering from a fractured skull, broken nose, broken shoulder, a few fingers & 4 lacerations to face/forehead that exposed bone from a boat propeller strike, lucky to be alive, on the way to his appointment vehicle broke down still trying to get fixed
