We lost our dear Coco on Friday due to pneumonia which she had for a week. This girl was remarkable in that she got a mammary lump when she was 2 and managed to come through two infections that left her lame twice when I thought we were going to lose her. Then, to my surprise she would be up and about playing again after she got back on her feet. She died 6 months after the lump appeared. I used homeopathy, gemmotherapy, herbs and raw food. All these natural treatments could be seen to be working each time I used them and I know that we got 'extra' time with her because of them. She did however receive 'drugs' in February for a virus that took her friends and we thought we were going to lose her too. Did the drugs have anything to do with her developing a mammary tumour two months later? I wonder.
Anyway, I think she would still have kept going if it hadn't been for the dramatic weight loss in the last week due to the infection. The infection was clearing up but she had just lost too much ground weightwise. We had to euthanise and she left peacefully.
What a resilient wonderful girl who loved life and bounced back on more than one occasion. xxx
