Wow.. thank you for the insite. I have read that by the time it may be diagnosed it's hemoraged. I don't know how Cocoa survived as long as he did. I can only thank goodness I never had to go through what you did. Im sorry for your loss also. The weirder thing here is that April of this year (around the 19th) is when Cocoa first started getting sick. He passed away just this last monday. Thank you for writing your experiences.
I was hesitant to look at the autopsey pictures but am amazed at what was there. Blessings to you. She was such a beautiful girl.
