I'm Gufi but I don't respond to that name - call me Gucio because that's what I like ☺.

I am 7 years old and I am a miniature spitz who struggles with health ailments.

I was the last of the litter and because of my congenital defects no one wanted me ☹ ☹.

I ended up in a home and I am looked after by my dear lady ☺

On a daily basis I am a very lively and energetic dog but my health does not allow me to function freely, enjoy life and walks ☹

I have an underdeveloped lower jaw which resulted in 6 teeth having to be removed so I can take food and all treats

I also have breathing problems - I snore terribly and do not let my lady sleep at night because she has to get up and give me inhalations !

The reason is my tongue is too long and makes it difficult for me to breathe ☹.

I was diagnosed with a 2nd degree patellar dislocation in my left and right paw... I can't walk, run, play with my dogs.

Because I keep going to consultations, appointments, examinations until today when I stopped walking because the cruciate ligaments broke.

I have heard the verdict - surgery required!!!!!

...plastic surgery and stabilisation of the joint - insertion of titanium implants

And it happened...I'm over - but there are 2 urgent operations ahead of me again ☹ ☹ ☹.

I have to have my gallbladder removed because I'm returning food and having cramps..it hurts terribly!

They will also be shortening my jaw, thickening my tongue and doing plastic surgery on my palate! I'm going to be able to breathe now and finally let the lady sleep ☺

Gosh...but it is a very big cost to maintain me - now 2 operations 6800 zł and afterwards follow-up visits, removal of stitches and a low-fat diet

Please help me to regain full fitness and raise funds to regain my health !

Thank you in advance to everyone who is helping me ☺
