All went well, they did not need to operate his throat as they went in first with a Camera to double check if it was his throat but it wasn't, he has an enlarged Heart and Bronchitas on the Lungs
For now he has to stay on Steroids, they will be watching his heart now regular, Gissi was gone all Day, he has to go back in 2 weeks
He is very wobbly on his little Legs but does that stop him following Mum, nope, and then Mum has to carry him back to the Living room because he can't make it lol
He cries now and again a bit but I think it is because his throat is sore, also he does not understand why he has no control over his Body, he keeps staring into space and then his head will just drop
I know he is a bit mad at me lol as he will not come and lie next to me
The Nurses did not want to let him go as I heard them say "Oh Gissi you are not going Home, are you ?"
Well, yes he is because he is my Gissi
From what I understand they kept them all entertained before he went under, by setting all the Dogs of Barking and then sitting in his little Cage looking all innocent , the Nurses thought that he is so sweet and has a right Personality lol
Well that is Gissi, never fails to charm , he did that trick this morning while waited for him to be called in, there was only 2 Cats there but Gissi thought he would attempt to make them Bark, it took me some time to explain they are Cats and will not bark back at, he then went under the Chairs and out again, of course he got the lead Tangled so I was up and down undoing the Lead from all the Chairs, when it was his turn to go in, again Gissi was sliding into the office as he was going one way and the other but then when they took him away, he looked sad, I told him I love him and will be back for him but I walked out crying
The one thing he is not impressed with is his Manicure, as he will not let anyone trim his Hairs from his claws and does not like it when they try to cut his Dew Claws I asked them if they could do this while he was under and they did, but Gissi is not happy, well at least I asked them to skip the Nail vanish as he is a boy , well I am very tired and worn out as in the last 24 hours I have had 4 hours sleep lol so I will be of to bed very soon
I am so happy to have my little Boy back, yes he will need special care and lots of Vet visits for his Heart, but he is worth it
Thank you everyone who was with Gissi and me today in thoughts, who sent all their best wishes
I really appreciate this and I love you all for it
Thank you Thank you Thank you from Gissi and me

Hey gabs! I am so happy to hear that litte Gissi is ok! I knew
he would be! And as for the heart problem, as I told you, my
Cougar took pills for years and was fine! And so will that little
guy! I am happy that he is now home with you and that you both
can now get some rest! Gissi is a fighter and will be just fine
no matter what! We all love him so much and please tell him
that his Auntie Opal and his cousins Star & Luna are just so
tickled that he is ok too! We are still planning a visit so tell
him that he had better get his strength back because Star & Luna
want to play with him and his Auntie wants to hug and kiss him!
Sending you gabs lots of hugs and love, Leslie

Hi gabs, It's good to know that Gissi is home again and I'm sure that he will be his old self soon. He will probably continue to need medical attention, but at least he didn't need to have that surgery. As you say he will need special care but I'm sure that you'll see he gets that. Blessings.

That is just wonderful and the best news I've heard all day, really! I'm so happy Gissi is back home and safe and sound in the care of his Mum. I don't think he's mad at you, I just think he can't figure out what is going on with his little body right now. Rest and relaxation, if that's at all possible with the little guy, will bring him back to his mischievous little pranks again that we all love to hear about.
You get some sleep Gabs, I'm sure you're exhausted, probably more than Gissi right now. Very happy to hear the good news that he's home! xxxHugs to you and Gissi!

He has been his normal self this afternoon lol but he is still sleeping a lot but I know that it is also the Steroids that do this to him

Big Hugs to you

Hi there P1ke I was glad that they checked again it was only because Gissi had an attack while there that the Vet decided to go down with a Camera and also do a Heart Monitor
He has got a bit of Flesh round the throat Area but that is not the cause and he has a little Weight to loose which will sort that
He is not fat but the Vet said a bit overweight, which I said to the Vet but he is on Steroids so how can he loose the weight, They said for now to give him a bit less then normal
Have you ever had little sad Puppy eyes looking up at you as if to say "Is that it"lol

Gabs that is good news, thanks for posting back so soon. I am going to go get Creamery from the vet. He has had some pain, possibly from a tooth or possibly from his throat. She will check it out, or did, this morning. He definitely needed teeth cleaned. He gets awful breath from his sinuses, too. So you and Gissi are both having breathing issues right now. I hope you both get to feeling good soon.

That's a big relief Gabs...whew! I'm glad that's over and not so serious as to need surgery. Of course it's only natural for him to have a big heart...we all knew that...just like his Mum with her big heart.
Get well soon Gissi.

Hi Lady, he has perked up and is nearly back to my little Gissi lol full of energy and mischief, I have to calm him after a while though
At least I know now what I am dealing with and he will get the care he needs with the help from his Vet and he will be with me for many more years I will make sure of that lol
Thank you Lady for your care

Yes Pat I am glad that at least now I know what I am dealing with
The Vet changed his mind when he saw the Fit Gissi was having while there, he decided before doing the Surgery he would do the Xrays, Heart Monitor and go inside through the Mouth with a Camera which was a good Job
Thank you Pat and Hugs to you

Oh Gabs, I am so glad he is home and did not require the surgery.
I will continue to pray that the steroids do the trick and he will soon be feeling his old self again. Sounds like he had an interesting time at the vet.. when they weren't poking and prodding him...
Kisses Gissi!!!!

Awww, bless his big little heart. I am sure between you and the vets people, Gissi will be well cared for. You must have missed each other terribly! I used to have a little black Shih tzu that would hide for a whole day when he had to be groomed...he felt all naked and ashamed at first with such short hair, but by the next day, he loved the freedom from it and would be extra bouncy!!
Gissi is just a charmer. Teach him to meow so he can set all the cats off the way he does the other dogs lol.
Note To Gissi: You get well soon, buddy, and remember that auntie Karen is praying for you!! Take your meds, drink your fluids, and be nice for mommy lol. Lots of get well hugs for you!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

I am so glad to hear all went well. Please give Gissi a big gentle hug for me. I was worried about this procedure but now that it is over, I am relieved. Yes, do get some rest. How is the packing going? Have you been able to get any of it done?
