Gissi is not well at all

Oh Sweetheart I am SO sorry to hear about this! I really hope that you get many more years out of him and that the tablets start working. Poor guy must not be feeling himself if he's not even getting into anything! Poor Thing! I am crossing my fingers that the tablets sweetie and I am sending you big hugzz, positive energy, support, and a ton of love! I Love you both TONS! Luv, Teddy XxXx

AWWWWWWWW GABS, i'm so sorry for your bad news. Bless gissi's heart & yours to. I would be as heartbroken as i know u must be. Do u think he's in pain from all this? the only thing i'm going to say i wouldn't let him suffer. Again i'm so very sorry. hugs, jo

Gaby, you know how I am feeling at this news, because it is the same way you are feeling. When I first met you here on myLot so many years ago (seems like 10 years or more, but really only 3 years) I would never have believed two people could become close friends without ever meeting, but you and several others soon changed my mind. That hurdle crossed, who would ever have thought that a DOG could capture the hearts of so many? I feel that I really know Gissi and can picture him right here. When I talk to him, I imagine him answering back. Gaby, you know that I (and all your friends here) are WITH you and Gissi, willing him to overcome this problem. Hugs and love to you both.

Oh Gabs I'm truly sorry to hear Gissi isn't doing well, poor fella. You have my thoughts and prayers for Gissi and really hope you have him for a long time yet. (((((((((((hugs))))))))))

wow how do I deal with it, with tears in my eyes Gabs, with tears in my eyes. He is such a gutsy little man in his doggie suit, and I would so miss him, so know a bit about what you must be feeling. I have never met you and Gissi in person, but feel like I know the two of you. I hurt for you Gabs and wish there was something we all could do to make him better, but yes we my lotters can all pray and prayer power from us is pretty powerful too. So he is older than you thought.I hope God lets you have him for at least two or three years. If I feel bad, you must feel much worse too. It is sort of a shock but maybe not exactly unexpected more like I had hoped God would sort of hear yours and my p rayers and work a miracle.I am so sorry Gabs, but maybe you will have him for longer than we think. I am sending a huge amount of prayers for you and Gissi both. may be it will w or k. many hugs

Poor gissi;( WELL, He's done his do in life and made you happy hasn't he? Just love the little devil and thank God for allowing you to have him. He's a special dog and God will be happy to have him home if Gissi goes. YOu still have time to love Gissi and give him everything he needs. You have been blessed with a wonder little fellow. Hang in there and let you love shine thru for Gissi. hugs, quita

Gee wiz Gabs, its been a horrible sad time for you. I know how you feel. I have loved and lost many animals in my life. I've said a prayer for your Gissi. My poor Polly (yep thats how I got my mylot name) Is not doing real well. She is a small dog and is about 16 years old. She has a tumor on her abdomen, I think its probably a cancer. Surgery would kill her, I hate the thought of having her put to sleep. I feel so guilty, wishing there was something I could do for her. She is still eating and drinking ok, she gets around ok. She wags her tail when she walks around. Her hearing and sight is getting bad. I have asked God before she gets in pain and distress to just let her go to sleep and not wake up. It sounds horrible but I don't want her to suffer and I don't want to have to take her to get the shot. I included a picture of my Polly. I do hope your baby gets better, its heartbreaking when they are sick and hurting.

I would love him up a lot, follow the instructions of the vet, and enjoy every minute I had with him.. I am sorry about all of this, just when you are finishing the move. I know the bills have to be paid. I would see if there was any special food to give him. I run in to a lot of people who give their dogs canned pumpkin as it soothes them and helps them have easier bowel movements. My cats have developed a taster for butternut squash or pumpkin puree when I make home made food.

I will pray for Gissi to get better. I would kiss, hug and keep spoiling my dog if sick. In fact my older dog was not well during the winter with ear infection, but now she is doing well. She turned 11 in January this year. HUGS for you and Gissi from my "girls"

I hate this newsssssssss you hang in there lets hope that he is around longer than a few months maybe meds can get him unstressed. and all ya can do is love him till the time comes like we all do with our babies as you know we have lost 3 in the last 2 1/2 years. WE knew when it was time but they lingered alittle longer thatwe thought then just found them laying there all peaceful like! HUgssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss to you both!

Well, my heart is sad and my eyes are filled with tears, and that's when it is happening to your dog. If it were mine, I'd be a basket case.

I am so sorry to hear your news hun, give Gissi a cuddle from me and Moomin. It's never easy to face up to possible bad news like this, all you can do is prepare for the worst and hope for the best. I really do hope that Gissi will be back to normal very soon sweetie.

I'm so sorry to hear this, gabs. I do know what you are feeling and all you can do is love on him to the best of your ability. So long as he has good quality of life, you have to keep him going.

Hi gabs, I am so sorry to hear that Gissi is not doing good..My prayers will be with you and him..Thank God he is not in any pain..I have lost a few pets myself so I know how hard it is..All of them were great dogs and part of the family.. Maybe the medicine will make him better and he will be with you a good while longer..I pray that will be the case.. Much love and bunches of hugs to you and Gissi..

I am so, so sorry to hear the bad news. I will most certainly put you and Gissi in my prayers. I know my reaction if I had to deal with such news about one of my babies would be of fear, intense sadness then I would pray and hope for the best.

Oh gabs, that's so sad. Hope he isn't in too much pain and that the tablets bring him back to his old mischievious self.

Gabs, I don't know what to say. I have a lump in my throat just reading this, its so awful, poor little Gissi. Poor both of you. I had similar things when my dog came to the end of her life. She had heart failure and everything in her body just began to pack up slowly and in the end I had to make the most hardest decision in my life. So I feel for you I really do. I was devastated, absolutely devastated when I was told she would be better off being put to sleep. My thoughts are with you xxxx

I'm so sorry to hear that my little friend is not doing well. We all have to go sometime, of course, but I was hoping that the little guy would outlive the odds and make it a lot more years. I hope he surprises us and does exactly that. But if not, my thoughts are with you and him.

Dearest Gaby, My heart is breaking for you and the precious little guy. This is my question to you. Are you willing to fight at any cost? And by that I don't mean money cost. If Gissi is suffering, is it just too hard for you to let him go? Or would you feel better knowing that he is not in pain any more? My first question to the Vet has always been, is he in Pain? So much of the time they never really say. It's like they don't want to have any part in helping you make the right decision. Or should I say the best decision. I've had to make that decision many times over the years and if the Vet had given me a clear opinion, then I could have made a more clearr and decisive decision. Instead I walked away many timrs feeling guilty. I suspect I would have felt that way no matter what decision I made. Gaby, I'm sure if it comes right down to it, you will make the right decision. God Bless you Sweetie. Love Ya, Leenie

Hi gbabs..This news really upsets me too. I feel like I know the dog just from your wonderful descriptive stories of him. I sure you feel as though youve been blindsided and rightfully so. My first thought would be to get a second opinion just to make sure the treatment prescribed is the right approach, but also understand the money thing..Oh do I understand that..My dogs need some medical attention right now as well and I just can't afford it now and have to put it off till next month. (I'm thinking about taking out pet health insurance that I've been reading about online.)It just dosent seem fair that because of money, medical attention can't be administered..not fair to them, thats for sure. Possibly though you could find a vet willing to work with you. You just have to stay strong and have faith that God will get you both through this set back. Try not to be too sad if thats possible. You have given him a great life and concentrating on all the love you shared with him and all the funny stories is the best medicine for you. Hey, miracles happen all the time, every day..He could turn around and start improving just as fast as he got ill. and thats what I am going to pray for starting tonight..Hang in there and you two will comfort each other. Its not over till its over and I just have a strong feeling that he is going to get better. Although 8-10 years is up there, some dogs live to be 17-18..I had a lab/dashound mix (yes you are reading that right!! One day I'll tell you about him) that lived to be 17 and in his elder years got sick a couple of times that gave us a terrible scare and he bounced back..Gissi Mischief is going to too..Hugs to you both and pm me and let me know his progress,,,and it will be progress..
