Cocoa Bean

Alma is a well loved member of her family and lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Adopted Name: Alma

Status: null

Cocoa Bean was brought to Vet Pro Clinic and dropped off by the volunteer firefighters in Antigua. She had been found lying beside the river, semi-unconscious and close to death. She was very tiny-just over 2 pounds in weight, hypothermic, severely malnourished and dehydrated, with rickets, full of parasites, and with severe sarcoptic mange.

Dr. Calderon managed to hydrate her with IV fluids, and with treatment, good food and lots of love she began her recovery.

Cocoa Bean improved by leaps and bounds, and she was adopted in March of 2012 and lives with her family in the San Francisco bay area.

She had to be put on I/V fluids when first in
