Specialist Cocoa Poorly Lip And Congested. Pls Help. Photos

Betsy said:
In the end I had to do the kindest thing for my first pet (that was truly mine) he was a gorgeous dwarf Russian Winter White Sapphire called Frankie. He wasn't feeding himself but feeding the tumour he had. It is very tough to help them over the Rainbow Bridge but it is the last act of love we can give them. Hugs to you at this difficult time. Never forget Cocoa doesn't know she's ill. And when the time comes to help her as far as she is concerned she'll just go to sleep. You have given her a life full of love.

Thank you. I know it's selfish to want to keep her forever but at this moment in time she's my rock. x. That's why I ask the expert to guide me. I'm sorry you been through this and from both of us thank you. Bless Frankie.

It’s a tough decision knowing when to make the call to help them to the Rainbow Bridge. What have you agreed with Kristina?

We had a good talk and Kristina says she's ok now but the cancer is progressive fast and her weight is down to a level that's 50% of her adult weight.. She checked her and explained to me what it be like for Cocoa if she loses much more weight. . .
It's that talk we dred but I'm focus on keeping the wonderful beautiful Cocoa comfortable
When I can't or she unable to to cope then you know Vicki.
I promised you she will not suffer and Christina knows my view and how emotional I am. . . but I fully respect what Christina says and i was allowed to bring Cocoa home . . I'm sad as she such a powerful piggie with Heidi and Chloe as her mates. . Christina has offered to help Cocoa when bridge time comes and that is very special. xx

l know what your going thought,like many on here and we're all with you and Cocoa every step of the way. l had to face it with my lovely rough collie Kerry he had a brain tumor. the day came ,l made the appment with Mic my vet, l did'nt have to tell what it was for, just that l was bring Kerry in, l picked aday when the sun was shine, gave him a walk in the woods, took him home groomed him, while telling him how much we loved him, that it was time for him to meet up with the rest that had gone before him ,and to give them our messages of love. he went on peacefully with a part of our hearts. and that is were he is still to this day with us.

Beautiful Very. Phew. Got me there. xx
 
David,
The decision that you have to make is the hardest decision you will ever have to make. It is the worst thing possible. When the time comes the decision will be made from your heart and with love. I know you are only thinking about what is best for Cocoa no matter what you say about being selfish and wanting her forever. We all want our pets forever and you will know when it is Cocoa's time. For now you are the best piggy parent you can be and you show all your girls the most love and dedicated care.
I think the world of what you are doing for that beautiful girl x

This is such a difficult situation to be in but it's good you have the support of your vet. I always ask my vet when in this situation what they would do if he/she was theirs, they've not let me down yet. We all love our pets so much, letting them go is hard but when the time comes the kindest and most loving thing we can do. Sending you and your gorgeous girls hugs David. Xx

Thanks everyone. Cocoa is good she comfortable and loves a very old carrot house and forces me to put heating on. :yikes:.
This morning 30th I got all piggies food ready. Cocoa has lots things cut into match sticks shapes but shares with others.
She was the ONLY piggie this morning that squeeked when I fed them. Bless Her.

I was wondering too

thanks guys for asking. Cocoa is dieing and what do I do. This is now20181212_000355.webpshe is amazing my life be so easy not havin her. e.g. bath time cuttin up all food and cuddles to a pig that squeaks wet through.
I'm am under no illusion she's not in pain.
ok if she ever shows life is a struggle then I will break my heart and let her go.
She's the longest piggie with this type cancer to still be here. That's a fighting spirit needs supporting.20181210_225112.webpShe is struggling big time but gets on with it.
I won't PTS for my convience as Kristina says. she will let me know.
Cocoa body is letting her down not her spirit to live.
Heidi checks her eyes and nibbles her ears everytime I put her back I have balance all this with the balance off is it now.
Guys it's bloody hard.

Oh Dave it's so hard for you. You will know when the time comes she will let you know when she wants you to help her over the Bridge to play with Pedro. You will need to her go. Its the hardest last act of love we can give our pets.
