Help Snedgie with Coco's final vet bill ❤️️
Donation protected
Hi,
As many of you may be aware, my partner Kieran (Snedgie) lost his beautiful babygirl this past Saturday. She was just 7 years old.
Coco had Idiopathic Epilepsy, which meant that there were no reasons behind her epilepsy, and no cause. She was diagnosed at 2 years old, and lived every single day to the absolute fullest before, and after that. As many dogs with Epilepsy do, Coco experienced a few siezures here and there which are manageable at home with medication.
On Friday night, Coco had a couple of siezures and was coping very well - bouncing back like nothing happened. At approximately 7am, Coco had a siezure which she unfortunately did not come out of. We rushed her to the emergency vets (Vets Now) and Coco was treated with respect, love and great care by the team there. We chose to try and save Coco, and the vets administered Diazepam and Leviteracetam (anti-seizure medications) at their highest doses. Unfortunately Coco did not respond to the medications, and was still displaying siezure activity. Despite the vets' best efforts to save her, we had to make the awful decision to put her to sleep at about 9:30am.
We tried our very best to save her, and obviously that comes with quite a large cost. As a student vet nurse myself I know how expensive veterinary care can be, especially out-of-hours, however we had to try and help Coco pull through. The final cost of Coco's veterinary bill is £1500 which is currently sitting on a credit card. This may not seem like a huge amount of money to some people, however the unexpected nature of this all and the grief it has caused is immense, and something you can never prepare for.
Coco was everything to Kieran, and I loved her as if she was my own. She brought nothing but joy to everyone she met, and the value she brought could never be replaced. The most crazy, cuddly and loving dog you could ever meet. She was his best friend, his confidante and his everything. She was an absolute fighter, and everyone who knew her will miss her dearly.
I am asking for donations, small or large, to help allow Kieran to grieve his baby girl and to eventually move on from the loss of her without having to worry about the money side of this all. Losing her is bad enough.
Thank you so much to everyone who has sent Kieran (and myself) well-wishes during this incredibly hard time. Please do not feel obliged or forced to donate to this page, it is simply me trying to help him.
Love you all,
Becco
