The life of CoCo Puff the Puff Ball

[JBun]

How did I miss her birthday :? Well, happy belated birthday to you Coco!!! You're such a beautiful girl

She's just such a sweet girl. I'm with Pani. It makes me so happy to see her doing so well and snuggling with her bunny family. It's so wonderful how good those boys are with her.

That's great that she has a little cart to wheel around in. Does she seem to enjoy her time in it?

I have so miseed beautiful coco.puff. I just love seeing her with her two pals. That dewlap is so cute as well, glad to see she is doing so well.

So I thought I would finally give everyone an update on my Sweet little Coconut- CocoPuff

Coco has been doing fabulous! She's 15months old and it's been 1year & 2weeks since she had her accident leaving her partially disabled. She has a beautiful big dew lap and beautiful soft and silky hair/coat- I'm always telling her how beautiful she is while I'm grooming her and she responds by teeth purring, she knows she beautiful

Coco has accupuncture once a week and absolutly loves it! She falls asleep while having her treatment and grooms her sheepskin rug- so sweet.

Coco is in great health and is currently 1.22kg which is the biggest she has been- she's been gaining muscle from hooning around in her cart 3-4x a day which I'm sooooo happy about She also loves her oats that are sprinkled with her dried flowers & herbs for organic nutrition and a 1/8th piece of Weetbix for dinner along with a couple of pellets (she's not really a pellet loving bun) and her organic veggies- so her weight is always good.

Here's a couple of pictures of Coco in her wheel chair eating greens with our nearly 4 week old Jersey Wooly babes in our bunny play worl

Coco gets an Equissage massage twice a day and because of this she has great blood circulation all over including her legs & control of her bladder so each morning I pop her into the litter pan and she does her morning pee. Her skin is lovely but that's one area I always keep an eye on as even the smallest dribble of pee sitting on her skin can cause urine scald- right now she has no urine scald and has a bum full of hair

Cocos accupuncture does wonders for her muscles & keeps body supple and without tension which I feel is important for her quality of life.

Coco is a very happy special needs bunny who explores all her surroundings in her buggy, socialises with all her bunny friends, grooms herself, eats lots of good food and loves snuggling up with her two boys- brother Alfie & Dad Darcy xx

Oh my! That is absolutely adorable! How precious is that pic with her and the baby sharing And I'm just loving seeing her in her cart. I imagine it's been wonderful to her, to be able to get around better. I'm sure it's opened up and enriched her life so much.

It's so heartwarming to read such a great update on Coco. You've just done wonders for that sweet little bun. She's done so well and stayed so healthy, despite her disabilities, because of your love and care. Thanks for the update. It's made me so happy to see her happy and thriving in your care I'm so glad you didn't let that vet convince you to pts. She's proof that despite her disability, a rabbit can still have a wonderful quality of life with the right kind of care.

So good to see an update on Coco! That picture of her with the babies around her is just the sweetest. It's so nice to see that she loves her little cart.

 

[Chrisdoc]

She looks fantastic and so cute sharing with the baby. She looks so comfy in her cart. I have now seen a couple of buns with their carts and I just live the freedom it gives them, will help to build her muscle as well. Disabled rabbits my be different but they are just as beautiful and deserving of a full and long life. You have wonders with your little girl, she is a little beauty. Would love to see a video of her scooting about on her wheels

I just love Coco and am so glad to get the update!! You are doing a great job with her! I hope to keep hearing about her for years to come!!

Last week was an extremely devastating week for me ~ My precious little puff ball passed away :'(

Coco Puff had dislocated her arm that held most of her weight. When I took her to the vet she was calm, could still scoot around but would tip over a little more. The vet said she couldn't say she had exactly dislocated it but more the tendon was stretched alowing her arm to fall forward more. This happened from her lying in a slightly awkward position.

She said just to be safe lets give her pain relief for a few days. Cocos reacts to drugs so I was hesitant and trusted my vets professional opinion. I took her home and got Cocos acupuncturist to give her a session every day- Cocos arm started getting stronger but on the 3rd day of pain relief she had a reaction!!

Cocos breathing rate was rapid and she was agitated. That was the last pain relief I gave her. Her acupuncture session helped calm her down to a normal degree but she would soon go back to her rapid breathing.

To make matters 100x worse I was due to fly out to be a bridesmaid at my best friends wedding in Broome, Western Australia the day she stopped eating- I had never experienced this with Coco before and my heart sank! I took her to the vet as was given the option of euthanising her or giving her sub Q and motitiliy drugs. I didn't have it in me to end her life so opted for the fluids etc. As soon as I took her home she gobbled a carrot and plantain so I was feeling relieved!

While I'm away I have a pet angel that I pay to stay at my house and look after Coco and my other buns- she only works a couple of hours 4x a week and that works perfect for Coco as I like her checked on a lot and put in her cart to roam the garden during the day.

I went to the airport and Sophie came over straight away. Coco started improving and by the next day she did poos & peed & was eating her oats, hay and greens with her boys, I was completely over the moon and really felt she was going to make it. Sophie spent a lot of time grooming & cuddling Coco and checking on her constantly.

She passed away that night :'( :'( :'(

I loved that girl beyond words & it has absolutly broken my heart to loose her! I wish I wAs there when she took her last breaths to hold & comfort her but I know her boys- brother Alfie & Dad Darcy would have been right by her side.

Coco has been cremated so she can continue to be with me all the time. Life's just not fair & it hurts, so the Life of Coco Puff the Puff ball has finally come to an end.

Thankyou for being apart of my precious Coconuttys journey xx

Oh my goodness, Shaan, I'm devastated to hear about this. I'll really miss hearing how little Coco is doing. Whenever you would post an update about her, it was the highlight of my day. She was such a little sweetheart, and a fighter. I know how close you were to her, so I can't imagine how you're feeling.

Binky free, Coco, over the Rainbow Bridge. ray:

 

[Azerane]

Aww, I'm so very sorry for your loss, that's so tragic

 

[BunnySilver]

Oh no. I am so sorry. I loved reading about CoCo and about how well she was doing and what and amazing job you were doing taking care of her despite her disabilities. You gave her a great life. Binky free sweet CoCopuff
:hugs:

Thankyou all for your thoughts, I had a lovely big cuddle with her on my couch the night before I flew to Perth & the Sweet little darling was licking my tears and tickling my face with her wiskers while teeth purring, no bunny will compare to her, I was her world & she was my precious little Coconut, it's just to sad!!

[lovelops]

I am at tears to see that Coco is gone. I'm crying as I write this...

I saw the posting and went oh no, I hope all is well. I loved hearing about how well she was doing and hoped to read
many more years of her and you growing together. No matter what, you gave Coco the best life possible. Without you, she would not have lived as long as
she had and was given the best life that anyone could have given her on earth. You have to know that in your heart. She loved you and everything you and your family did for her.

I lived to read about her update, progress and all the work you were doing for her. There will be a hole in my heart here missing all the updates and
photos of you beautiful girl Coco. There will never be another one like her.

Please hang in there and keep us posted on all the other lovely bunnies that come your way in the future. I know there has to be more!

I've been silently following this blog for quite a while now, and I'm so so sorry to hear of Coco's passing!
I can't imagine how you feel. She seemed like a very special little bun.
Binky free, Coco. ray:

 

[lovelops]

Shaan how are her brothers Alfie and her dad Darcy doing without her around? Are they ok? I had been thinking of them also since they all appeared to be a
close bunny family. Are they doing ok? Are they still eating?

Still can't believe our little girl is gone! But CoCo was truly special, with a special family and mommy..

My sympathies to you on the loss of Coco. I know it's so hard when a pet passes away. Especially when they are so sweet and special.

 

[bunnyman666]

Three cheers to CoCo!!!! May she have eternal fun in bunny heaven.

 

[JBun]

I'm so sad reading this I can't believe our beautiful Coco is gone, and there will be no more wonderful pictures and stories about her. You are such a wonderful caretaker, and provided her with such a happy fulfilled life since her disability occurred. I'm so sorry for your loss and understand how devastating it feels to lose a much loved bun. We all will most certainly miss hearing about her interesting life and adventures on here.
