I struggled to get the accepted answer working. The following solution worked for me to display a static gif.

    public ImageResponse(string imageUrl)
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        ImageTools.IO.Decoders.AddDecoder();

        var imageResponse = new ExtendedImage();
        imageResponse.UriSource = new Uri(imageUrl);

        imageResponse.LoadingCompleted += this.ImageResponseLoadingCompleted;
    }

    private void ImageResponseLoadingCompleted(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        var imageResponse = (ExtendedImage)sender;

        Classes.Util.UiThread.Invoke(() =>
            {
                this.ImageResponse.Source = imageResponse.ToBitmap();
            });
    }

Classes.Util.UiThread is a helper class I use to call the UI Thread

this.ImageResponse is a standard image control
