Good luck with the cats recovery!!

way to go Gino your the man and your mag will be in the mail tomorrow.

i think donations are in order. i plege $100.00 to ginos good hearted deed. anyone else. post adress please will mail check. mm.

Gino,,,,,any good news about Lucky/Gina ????

Have you reconsidered donations?

What part of Oklahoma? I am sure we can arrange something for visitation......:ernaehrung004:

Gino, you are a great man and Gina was very lucky to have you find her.:ernaehrung004:

Shes doing good this morning. Here are a few shots. The main doctor is going to be in shrortly and we are going to discuss our options.

That just breaks my heart,,,,,,i hope she will be all right.

Keep us postet and i think the donation thing is a great idea,,let us know where we can send donations.

Even though i don't have much ,i will help !!!:ernaehrung004:

If Gino reconsiders, count me in for a C note. Breaks my heart to know what pain she had to encounter. Has the Doc performed any surgery yet?

Damn it Gino,
Karma has come back to bite me in the azz for putting up that laughing smiley. Girl friend just called me with 2 dogs she found in a parking lot.. so I went up there and now they are here.. printing fliers now

I'm in...

We'll take her if the other deal falls through. My brother is a vet with a practice in Pensacola if you decide to look for options.

Gino you have bangin stories...... This reminds me of a story my grandfather used to tell me it really didn't apply here but maybe it could fit in this particular situation or maybe I will get harassed to no end for it but here it goes....

Boy I ain't never had no bad *****....just some I wished I wouldn't have got!!!!!!!

Hope everything works out for you and your well...... you can fill in the blank!

You are a true animal lover and should be proud of your self for getting involved. I hope and pray that it works out great.

We were up all night. We got some news about 8:00 that was completely unexpected. New problems with Gina. Here Bladder and the nerve to her bladder were very swollen from her trauma. They thought the swelling would go down and not be an issue. Because she hasn't been able to pee on her own they think the nerve may be permenetly damaged which means she will never be able to pee by herself which obviously would not be an option. This is extremely emotional as we thought everything would be fine, expensive but fine. Please cross you fingers for her!

I am sorry to hear this,,,,,,I PRAY FOR HER !!!!!!!!

Gino,if she is not able to pee on ger own ,,,,,,,,do the right thing. As sad as this might be ,,,but she will never be the same.

If the doc thinks she will be ok ,,then keep on but if he thinks that she will not be ,,,,,,,,well ,,,,,i would. And trusst me i love animals more then anything else.

I accidentally ran over my cat one time. I left about 7 one night and came back home around 12am. The cat had been laying there the whole time. No vets were open till morning so I kept it warm and took him as soon as I could. IT was the same injuries Gino described. THe vet told me I could put it down or wait and see. They gave it pain meds for a few days and I took it home. That damn cat yowled for 2 nights but after about 2 weeks he was up hobbling around. After a month you couldn't tell any difference other than his ass was twice as narrow as before!!
Cats truly do have 9 lives, They have to because they're so damn stupid. The one my Wife has is going to get killed because he thinks everyone and everything should move around him!

ANYTHING NEW,,,,I hope she's fine and the doctor sayd so,,,,,just ,,,,sorry about my sugestion,,,i just don't whant her to be in pain .

Let us know Gino,,,everybody here is willing to help somehow.

It actually breaks my heart ,because now a friend of mine has a cat that is about 8 month jung and looks just like Gina,,,he needs to give her away and is also looking for a home,,,to bad i cant take any of them because of my Baby ,,he does not like cats.
Wish i could take them both.


But back to Gina ,,,,prayers send ,,,,may god help her and safe this KITTY !!!!

These situations just suck. One of our dogs Raven had gone in to be spayed a couple months ago. Came home, she is doing fine, then all of a sudden pain. Can barely walk, can't do stairs. Just horrible to see. Every specialist says it is something else. Eventually she goes into surgury for what they think is a hurnieated disc. Sorry about the spelling. It turns out she has an infection in her spine. The worst part is the doctor had orders that if it was too bad in there to put her down. Thank god it went well. She is walking again. Still can't do stairs, but she is not in pain. 10 grand later, and still a lot of recovery to go, but she is still with us. Gino you are one hell of a man to do this for an animal that isn't even yours. Good luck and we send our best to you and Gina.

Gino, I just read this whole thread. This was truely fantastic what you are doing for a strange animal in need of help. Long story short here, I really think I can help you with this advice. There is a lady that you NEED to call about this, she's from Michigan City Ind. Her name is Marilee Snyder. Way too much info to type here about what she does, but she helped us with a similar problem we had with one of our dogs. The dog had'nt pee'd in weeks, she blew up like a balloon, took her to the vet. The vet tried everything in his problem, and after a few days he told us that we had to put her down. This lady Marilee gave us a cure for the dog. We asked the vet if he'd do it for us, and he said that he'd try anything we wanted cause he was out of options, and the dog was dying. Her method worked in 2 days. The doctor was absolutley amazed, could'nt believe that this method worked. They kept her for 2 more days to make sure everything was working well, then we took her home. She was 14 years old when that happened. That was 2 years ago. Unfortunately she just died at the foot of our bed last thursday night. She had a good life.
Gino, call me and I'll give you her #'s

My wife once worked for our vet we use up here....Only a couple hours up from you. If little gina starts doing better, i can check with them on the surg...Or see if they know someone else down there.

Let her go, no need for her to suffer anymore. RIP Gina

She is not suffering at all!! Swelling went down a bit. Things may be looking up. Lets try to keep a positive note. It's only been 5 days. If she suffers for 1 split second I wile surely let her her go. As long as there is a chance, I will do what ever is possible. Today is the first sign the feeling is coming back in her back leg. That means the swelling is going down in her spine and the nerves are coming around. This has been the best, most optomistic day yet. I spoke with a lady refered by 10X that is going to help with Ginas rehabilitation. Just keep praying for her. I think all the people behind her can only help. I know all the positive posts and emails help me! Thank you!

Gino, thank you for calling Marilee, I firmly believe she can make a difference in the kittys rehab. If she can't help lil' Gina, she will tell you. Then it'll be up to you to make that final decision. Good luck, you both have our prayers.

Frank

You're a good man Oil Can Man. :)

Keep up the good work Gino.
Frankie...sorry to hear about your pup...send our love to Lois.

Gino, you are just a big softie with a very large and caring heart, I love ya for that. It's nice to see how many of us on these offshore boards care deeply about animals.

Go Gina Go, we are all hoping that you will be the little kitty that could.

Keep up the good work.

I was hoping for some good news after your last post. Keep it coming.

Gina is stable. Just waiting for her swelling to go down. She is very sweet, everyone in the vets office loves her! She looks better every day. 5 have faith she will get through this. Frank (10X) hooked me up with a lady that runs a DNA scan from a hair sample and helps with many problems vets can't do anything with. She is an amazing lady that has helped thousands of pets. Here is her site, very interesting stuff.

Nice work, Gino. You're one of kind.

They get 9 lives Brother! Looks like she only got 7 squeezed out of her! She will be healed up by the time the swelling goes down. I was amazed my cat lived through the same thing with NO surgery. Good luck Kitty.

Gino,
You have such a great heart! Hope Gina makes it.

Gino, Thanks for the link and the info is great help in understanding a pets health problem. Hope to see you at one of the miami to key west poker runs someday.

Hi, I haven't been posting because there really hasn't been any miracles. I have been receiving a bunch of emails and PM's regarding Ginas condition. Today is day 25 at the vet for Gina. She is doing pretty good. She is able to walk but holds her leg up a bit. We haven't done the final hip surgery, we've been waiting on her Bladder to get better. We will probably go ahead with the hip surgery on Friday. Last night one of the lady vets called and asked our permission to take Gina home for a few days. She has 2 days off and wanted to give Gina a break from the vet and introduce her to her 4 cats. Hopefully she will decide to keep her!!! Gina is not in any pain and is a wonderful cat. The vet says they have never had a cat purr as loud or as much as she does. The entire office loves her. Gina gets visitors everyday. She has quite a fan club! There are so many people pulling for her.
The only problem we have that can't be fixed by anyone but God is her bladder problem. We have heard it could take up to a couple of months to get feeling back in the nerve controlling the bladder. I'm willing to hang in there and do what ever we possibly can.
i appreciate all the letters and emails. I have heard so many inspiring - feel good stories since I adopted Gina. I have had so many people tell me i'm nuts for spending what we are on her but I look at all the foolish things we blow money on in boating. We are looking forward to the day Gina gets to go to her new home.

Gino, people like you are whats right with the world. Thanks for renewing my faith in mankind!

Gino,,i always think i am a real tuff guy ,,,but after reading your last post ,,,,man oh man i have tears in my eye's.

Keep it up and if u need help ,,PLEASE let me know.

U ARE THE MAN !!!!!!:ernaehrung004:

I pray for GINA .

I guess I just had to read the thread to find out, sorry for PMing you to find out. Hope she gets better.

Way to go Gino

I feel the same way. Bravo Gino!

Good man.
