Prayers for Gizzy
*UPDATE ON GIZZY* (2/10)
First of all, I just wanted to tell you all thank you so much for your kind words and prayers. I am so overwhelmed with all of your support. I am hoping that all of those positive vibes will help Gizzy’s outcome.
I wanted to give you all a brief update to let you know how he is doing, since so many of you have asked me to keep you in the loop. Thank you so much for that, I appreciate all of your empathy.
I went to visit the little man yesterday in the vet, which was so upsetting. Poor little thing was hooked up to so many tubes. It is hard to see someone you love like that.
The vet told me that she spoke with the specialist Dr. Zyra, who actually handled Gizzy’s surgery when he was fixed, she said that she wanted to perform surgery on him tomorrow (Saturday). She thinks it is the best way to handle the situation and even though it is dangerous…the fact that he did well before with anesthetics may be a good sign that he will make it through OK.
He was able to come home yesterday so that we could make him as comfortable as possible before the surgery. I plan on asking A LOT of questions to Dr. Zyra, because I know she will be upfront with me.
I am so very nervous and I am having a hard time of not thinking about all the things that could happen to him.
Anyways, that is what is going on. Thank you all again for your support and please keep sending your prayers and positive thoughts our way, especially on Saturday morning.

*UPDATE ON GIZZY*
Hi all…
There won’t be any food in this post. More asking for your help.
Please say a prayer for my bunny Gizzy.
He’s in the vet right now. He went for a check up on his leg, which is better, and the vet found that his bladder has “sludge” in it. They explained it as him having too much calcium in his bladder. Apparently it can be pretty dangerous for bunnies and it could cause blockage for him.
He stayed overnight at the vet last night with little to no improvement. They are pumping liquids into him and giving him some medications too…hoping that it might clear him up.
I talked with the vet this morning and she let me know about his status and that she wanted to keep him longer. However, I got some not so good news…
If they can’t get him to improve in the next few days, surgery may have to happen…but, he is too little to operate on (he is only 4lbs). In the event that they do have to operate, they cannot…so they would have to put him down. 🙁
As you can imagine, I am completely distraught. I am so upset.
He is an absolute doll and my little baby so I am hoping that he will pull through and everything will be OK. He has a birthday coming up…I just want to make sure I can celebrate it with him.
I know that some people don’t understand when people get so upset over their pets, but he is family to me. Losing him would be the same as losing a close family member. I am sure some of you know what I mean. Even if you don’t…
Please send your prayers and thoughts to him. I will be forever grateful.
Love you Gizzy ♥

I am praying for your little guy Raven. I just lost one of my cats a week ago. It was sudden. She was only 12. And I know exactly what you mean, she was a member of the family! Our other cat is still looking for her everyday. So I am praying your little one gets better and comes home to you! I totally feel your pain and anguish. He is an adorable bunny and I pray and hope with all my heart that he pulls through.

Thank you so very much and I am so sorry for your loss. They really do become like a part of your family. I appreciate your thoughts and prayers very much

senging healing energy and saying prayers for GIzzy. I get how our “babies” are family. I lost my beloved Boo a year and a half ago and I still ache for him. He would wake me up alomost every night ast 2 AM to rub his belly. It was not irritating; it was such joy that he called me to come to him. I so miss the small yelp to wake me. When he was younger, he would sleep on more than half ot the bed, on his side, legs straight out. SO cute and he knew the difference between snuggle and schnuggle. He would choose what his mood was for each time and take the appropiate positions. Schnuggle was him pushing up as close as he could, covers on, and snuggle was just lying next to me, no covers. He was my second service dogger and I so miss him. He had not imprinted when he was adopted out, so he did not know that he was a dogger or how to be one. That was part of his charm. You can visit Boo on my JOY in the arts! blog:

Oh no *hugs* I know how you must feel – I grew up with guinea pigs, and one had a tumor under her eye. They did operate her, but a few months later she died from an infection because her immune system was just not coming back to normal :/ I send you all my best wishes and love!
RavieNomNoms
Hi Kiri, thank you for your wishes and love. They are so much appreciated. I am sorry about your guinea. It is always so hard when you think they are getting better and then all of a sudden they are not.

Oh Raven, thank you for letting us know…prayers will be said for Gizzy. I know how hard it is to have a sick animal and to deal with the thought of losing them.

Please keep us posted and know that you are surrounded by lots of positive thoughts and prayers.

Losing a pet, or even the thought of it, is a horrible and horrific thing – that animal IS your family AND your friend and they give you just as much joy and love and companionship. Last year just before Christmas when my cat had to go in to have a massive tumour removed from his chest I was inconsolable – fortunately he is OK and still happily bouncing around as if nothing ever happened but having to mentally prepare for the worst was sickening and dreadful and I really, really hope Gizzy is OK and I really, really hope that the worst does not have to happen and, if it does, that your friends and family understand how awful this is for you. xxx
RavieNomNoms
Juls, thank you so very much for your kind words and support. I am glad to hear that your kitty was able to make it through OK. Gives me hope that Gizzy will too
