Gisela .....Another Noahs arc rescue...

This was a rescue made August 13th 2009.. This girl was easily the most extraordinary example of a dog that has a will to survive keeping her going. The vet confirmed that in all her years of seeing animals no dog had ever been still alive in this condition.! She was so thin I could put one hand around her bony waist.

If you can help sponsor Gisela while she recovers we would be very grateful. The special food she is prescribed will cost quite a lot over the coming weeks.
Please go to www.noahsarcmurcia.com/donate.htm
and give whatever you can afford..... Thank you so much.

UPDATE
We just had a call from the vet this morning that has spoken with the hospital to say that the situation with Gisela is very much the same as it was.

The problem is that she has not yet responded to the antibiotics for the kennel cough, and this continues to make her feel weak.

She is unable to eat voluntarily and is still having to be encouraged to eat by syringe straight into her mouth.

Her diarrhoea looks to be better though, in that there is more colour to it. although it could not have got any worse.

Cant treat Leishmania yet as she is still too weak for additional non urgent medication.. Prognosis is probably now less favourable that it was a few days ago.

We will on Monday bring her home with us if she has not made any real progress in the hope that familiar surrounding and love and even some sunshine could get her to fight all over again and make a little progress.

Our overwhelming concern is that we must not allow Gisela to suffer needlessly any longer than is appropriate given her condition and chances of recovery.
At some point next week we may be close to having to look at our options for her again if no sign of improvement is made. We will obviously be talking at length to our vet and other members of our charity in order that we do what we feel is best for Gisela.

The moment she once again decides to eat by herself it will be champagne and party time down here in the streets of Camposol.!

Hi Jacqui . Many thanks for your kind thoughts and sentiment. I will be updating Gisela every few days on you tube so people can see what the latest news is. This morning just to add to her list of problems she was diagnosed with kennel cough! Because of her fragile condition we had to get the vet out and commence antibiotics. Happily we think this will not kill her. She was very weak and lethargic this morning but has perked up a little this afternoon.

Video to upload later .

Hi Tony

Your support for our work here is always much appreciated and thanks for helping to highlight the horror that we are witnessing here almost daily.

Your kind thoughts and actions as with many others who are so shocked will one day help to highlight and change the way these poor animals are kept and treated in this country.

God bless you all who support our work here in Spain.

this is sick. really really sick. did the owners get shot?

[toiletscrubbr]

how did you guys rescue her? was she taken away from her owners?

[Steamrollergirl71]

This is the most shocking animal abuse footage i've ever seen. I just don't get it. And you say she was at home? They slept every night yards away from this poor hungry hound. It sickens me. I've rehomed a few greyhounds from the uk who I thought were unlucky. But hey nothing beats this!! Wish I had loads of money and space. But even that won't stop this disgusting abuse. What an amazing and beautiful dog. They don't know how lucky they were. How very very Sad.

i saved a cat in this kind of condition once. seeing gisela makes me cry. and angry. i really hope the people that are responsible are prosicuted to the fullest extent of the law, and i wish there were a more... fitting way to show them the suffering they put her through. an eye for an eye, as it were.

Oh my goodness, thank you so much for all you are doing to save Gisela. I pray she will pull through, her eyes are full of trust and love, she is so beautiful and I hope she will survive to understand not all people are as cruel as the person who starved her almost to death. Will the person who neglected Gisela be brought to justice for this terrible cruelty?
