Coco


Coco is going to be a bit of a challenge to get adopted. The poor guy has had so many things wrong with him in his short 6 years of life. He was originally surrendered to the THS due to a urinary blockage. After he had surgery the staff noticed that he was losing weight for no apparent reason. After numerous tests, it was discovered that he had a condition in his intestines that causes malabsorption of nutrients. He has responded very well to vitamin B12 injections and has put his weight back on. He will need to receive these injections once a month for the next 6 months. The THS will supply the medication and show you how to do this at home. Giving an injection is very easy so please don't let this put you off. He is a quiet and gentle soul who just wants love and some affection.
