My name is Gufi, but I don’t respond to that – call me Gucio because that’s what I like ☺
I’m 7 years old and I’m a miniature Spitz who’s struggling with health issues.
I was the last of the litter and, because of my congenital defects, nobody wanted me ☹ ☹
I ended up in a home and am looked after by my lovely owner ☺
I’m a very lively and energetic little dog on a daily basis, but my health doesn’t allow me to function freely, enjoy life and go for walks ☹
My lower jaw is underdeveloped, which meant I had to have six teeth removed so that I could eat my food and all my treats
I also have breathing problems – I snore terribly and don’t let my owner get a good night’s sleep, as she has to get up and give me inhalation treatments!
The reason is that my tongue is too long, which makes it hard for me to breathe ☹

I’ve been diagnosed with grade II patellar luxation in both my left and right legs… I can’t walk, run or chase other dogs.
Because I’ve been going to consultations, appointments and tests non-stop right up until today, when I stopped walking because my cruciate ligaments snapped.
I’VE HEARD THE VERDICT – surgery is essential!!!!!
…joint reconstruction and stabilisation – insertion of titanium implants
And so it happened... I’ve already had it done – and now two urgent operations ☹ ☹

I need to have my gallbladder removed because I’m vomiting and have cramps… it hurts terribly!
They’re also going to shorten my jaw, thicken my tongue and perform plastic surgery on my palate! I’ll finally be able to breathe and let you get some sleep ☺
Oh dear... but the costs of looking after me are very high – now two operations at 7,000 zł, and then follow-up appointments, having the stitches removed and a low-fat diet
I’ve already had the operation!!
But unfortunately, I’m having serious complications after the operation... my palate is excessively shortened... I’ve been given another VERDICT!!! I’ll have a feeding tube fitted :(
They’re saving me, but I also have to help my mistress pay for everything... the cost is about 7,000 PLN :(
At night I choke, I’m on antibiotics and I have to go to the clinic every day for drips. It’s very expensive...
Please help me regain my full health and raise the funds to get well again!
I would like to thank everyone who is helping me in advance ☺
