Coco died June 14, 2008. He was having seizures, two on Friday the day before his death and could barely walk. Could not jump up at all. He was extremely toxic when his urine was checked, off the charts yet he had no fever. Old age finally caught up with him our vet said. Coco was 17 this past March. He was very sick and much too sweet and we loved him too much to make him suffer longer.
Coco had a good life, slept where he chose which in the past year or so was with me. He had become cold natured and liked to cuddle next to me on a warm blanket. He and our little Pekingese dog (Laci Noelle) got along great and she has missed him, searched for him since he did not come back home with me from the vets. I chose to euthanize him rather than have him continue suffering the awful seizures which obviously confused him and each one made his walking ability worse. He had always been too sweet and too loving to have to suffer until a natural death. It would not have been many days but he deserved a better end to his life than to go out in that manner. I was with him, loving him to the very end. I miss you Coco and I will love you always. Mom
