Goodbye Co Co 🐹💛

It's with sadness that I inform you guys that Co Co has left us. I've been meaning to do up a video for him, but my video app crashed and did not have the time to redo the video all over :( In any case, a blogpost should serve as a memorial for this little guy.

A little background of what had happened about a month before his passing...

CoCo was diagnosed with tumour in his testicles. Apparently, it is quite a common sickness among the Syrian breed. His health deteriorated rather quickly after his diagnosis. As my family had made a decision not to operate on him, there was nothing much we could do, other than continue to shower him with love and care, paying more attention to his needs 💛

On the last week of July, his health took a turn for the worst.. He was dehydrated, poop couldn’t come out... a few days later, he had diarrhoea. Things just got really bad, and his wound on his balls did not get any better.

We noticed him gasping a little, and we thought he was close to death. We held him in our hands, said our goodbyes~ even stayed the night. But he did not leave just yet. He was active, picking himself up each time he had a little bit of energy.

He got more frail the next day. I knew he had really little time left. I treasured every last moment I had with him, and got to bid him farewell~ 😢 Here's a picture of his paw holding my finger.

At 11:07pm, he took his final breath and left in peace 🐹🧡🌈

Thank you for giving us the chance to love you and play with you. It was truly a joy to see such an adventurous spirit in you! From stealing the piggies' food, jumping from heights, getting lost when we let you out etc. We will miss you 💛

In loving memory of CoCo, 04 Dec 2017 ~ 28 July 2020.
