Not For The Weak

Today was Cocoa's very appointment. Separating her from Scotchie was truly the most difficult thing of the whole process. Those two are inseparable and they both cried when we took Cocoa away. 

The diagnosis was good though! She had an abscess caused by getting poked by who knows what. They cut the spot open and drained a lot out. Here's where it gets gross though, it's an open wound and we have to keep squeezing it until it's fully drained. It was the size of a softball, so that tells you how much we're getting out of there. Also, she's on meds that I give her as a shot in the muscle once a day for the next week. I handle the shots, Rob handles the draining. We make a good team. 

We keep telling her how much we love her, but she's not believing us much right now. Tomorrow, I'll share updates. For now, enjoy this pic of our recovering Cocoa.
