Little Coco, arrived here at TEAS, at the beginning of the year. She needed an immediate dental under GA and has been having conscious dentals since. Her jaw is pretty much fixed and even with frequent (initially every 5 days and now weekly) dentals, she is making very little progress. Simon struggles to get to the back of her mouth as it doesn’t open properly. What makes this incredibly hard and heartbreaking is that she’s very bright and full of life, but can only sustain this, with ongoing supportive care as she can only eat oats, a little grass, softened nuggets and relies heavily on syringe feeding. Her weight is stable but not increasing and at just less than a year old, she weighs 480g. I’ve spoken with Simon tonight and we’ve made the decision to try one last ditch attempt to get some better movement to her jaw. She’s therefore booked in for dental, under GA, once again this Friday.

I’m really hoping this will make a difference, as sadly we cannot continue how we are currently doing. I’ve been so upset, as despite both mine and Simon’s efforts, we haven’t been able to make the difference we need to make 😢
 
Poor little Coco, hoping for a swift recovery x

Hugs! :hug::hug::hug:
 
Aw poor Coco! She looks so much like my Angus except he’s black. They have the same hairdo, ears (although Angus’s ears are a bit battered) and bemused expression lol. I do hope she feels better soon, poor little lamb :(

Angus says he hopes she feels better soon too and that he thinks she’s very pretty! This is the best pic I have that shows their similarities.

Your efforts are amazing and i really hope Simon and Yourself can get this piggie sorted. I support and admire all you doing for her.
Keep this quiet but I and my piggies will say a prayer tonight and we send you :luv:

Keeping everything crossed for the lovely little Coco.
Sending healing vibes and know you are in my thoughts.
Come on Coco you can do this.xx
 
Thoughts and hugs are with you guys. You do an amazing job and a lot of piggies wouldn't be here without you.

Paws and fingers crossed at my house. You can do it Coco xx
 
Aw, so sorry to here this, all the hard work you have been doing with Cocoa, fingers crossed Simon can get that jaw moving, hugs to you x
 
Loads of prayers and healing vibes for little Coco!

Unlikely perhaps, but could her stuck jaw be caused by tetanus (lockjaw)? I read yesterday that dogs can get lockjaw due to tetanus,and other reasons.
 
Aw poor little girl. Sending healing vibes from me and the piggies. Lets hope Simon can work his magic and get her jaw moving. You have done all you can, and given her a chance, which is far more that most people would do. You will make the best decision for Coco and whatever that it it will be done with love. x
 
Hope she can get through it all lovely Cocoa, nearly the same weight as Pedro! Fingers crossed she perks up and Simon (and you!) can get her back on track to recovery x
 
Yes good luck Coco (sorry spelt your name wrong on last post), hope all goes well today xx
