Gizmo has been hurt..

[Patti]

I feel so bad for you and Gizmo. Bad enough to evacuate again but then for him to get hurt. I hope he settles in for the night and can see a vet tomorrow.

Poor little Giz! His world is just upside down right now ... perhaps snuggling with Mom is the best medicine if you can't find a vet. I will certainly keep you all in my prayers! Poor sweet baby ... please give him extra hugs for Toto and me! God bless and protect you all.

You are all so sweet for asking about my boy. Things have calmed down now in our little home away from home. We got Giz some baby asprin (orange! ) he like it. Seems to be feeling much better. Thanks for the info on those. He is all settled in for the night right here on the pillow beside me like always . Bubba must know he is hurt because he is not rough housing, just laying beside The Gizzard...never say "nothing else can go wrong".

I have placed the rest of this adventure in the hands of the One that it belongs. All will be ok. Thanks so much sisters, this was the first place I thought to go for help, and you didn't let me down...gonna "Hug a Tree" and ride it out.

[Gizmo's Mom]

He is walking on his leg now, the aspring really helped!

[pookiebear]

I'm so sorry, just thank God it wasn't worse! Stay safe. Prayers and hugs going out to you during this most difficult time.

Dad checked him out and it's not broken but he's all banged up. He let me trim the hair around it and I put peroxide and Neosporin. I gave him his meds he takes for storms and he is resting. What is safe to give him for pain? He weighs 11 pounds. There are NO vets aound here and roads are bumper to bumper with evacuees streaming in from houston. I feel so bad for him. I feel like going down there and hurting someone. They barely speak english so no use. Him and Bubba will NOT be left alone again. My son was here but in my parent's hotel room.

Once again..what can I give him for pain.

OMG Thank GOD you found him and I'm so sorry he got hurt ! I know my vet had given my Chanel a 1/4 baby asprin when she scraped her head on a fence (nail was sticking out) and I'd call a vet to double check that but maybe you could try a little baby asprin ???? You could try this number - this is the ER Vet I took Chanel to and they're super helpful and will answer questions on the phone - 281-340-8387

or this one - I forget who answers on non business days (it's a holiday so I don't know who's open)

I'm happy to read he settled in well last night! What an ordeal! I'm so sorry you are having to go through this, and soooooooooo happy you found Gizmo in the first place! Keep us posted when you can.

[Gizmo's Mom]

V~ I wrote down that phone number, that was very thoughtful. This morning Gizmo is walking fine on his leg, just has a bo bo on it. The swelling has gone down. Kept him in the parking lot to do his business..was afraid grass would get in it. Will clean and dogtor it shortly. If he wont let me I'll put him in the tub, he loves his baths ..carefully of course. I will give him more asprin if he acts like he is in pain. Been a chore to keep Bubba off him this morning. I swear Bubba wakes up running laps . He's only 6 mos. Gizmo is almost 6 yrs.

I am way up in Canada reading this and hoping you are able to get the help you need . I believe in the power of prayer and said one for you and your family . Have been watching the hurricane updates on the news this weekend .Stay safe .

[IluvLucy]

I'm glad to read Gizmo is better this morning! What a huge relief for you with everything else you have on your mind.

Praying that you'll be able to go home safely, soon.

[Wylie's Mom]

OH MY GOSH! Thank god you found him!! My heart was in my throat reading your post. Yes, you can give aspirin. I'm sending thoughts your way.

[Suzy]

Oh my goodness! I'm glad you found him and he's relatively ok! I hope he feels better soon, and that your family is safe. Sending up prayers for all of you.
