Dog undergoes alcohol withdrawal after tragic loss of owner and friend.

A dog named Coco, who was believed to have become addicted to alcohol, had to be sedated for four weeks as part of his recovery at Woodside Animal Welfare Trust in Devon. The dog was one of two dogs taken in by the shelter after their owner passed away. The dogs began fitting and Geordie passed away despite emergency care by an on-site vet. Staff at the shelter said “a process of elimination” helped them to figure out that the dogs were likely suffering from alcohol withdrawal. Coco has now made a full recovery and is well-behaved and loves cuddles.
