The alcoholic Labrador dog “Coco” became the world’s first dog to be treated for alcohol addiction after veterinarians rushed to save him and another dog addicted to alcohol left by their deceased owner, according to the “Daily Mail” website.
The dog was rescued after the death of its owner, and was taken in by an animal care home called Woodside in the Plymouth region of England. Koko Hua, a two-year-old Labrador, has been with them for more than a month, and has required intensive care since his arrival as part of his “tragic” journey.

Koko arrived at the shelter with another dog after the death of their owner, but both soon became well. The shelter wrote on Facebook that a veterinarian who was on site at the time did his best to save the two dogs, but the second dog died and Koko remained “seriously ill.” .
The brown Labrador then required around-the-clock care and his symptoms indicated he was suffering from alcohol withdrawal. Rescue center staff told The Telegraph that the dogs became dependent on alcohol when their owner quit their drinks before they fell asleep.
The dog spent four weeks sedated at the shelter to help with his withdrawal symptoms and reduce the risk of further seizures. The treatment worked and the puppy will be ready for adoption soon. “We are so thankful that we are now out of danger and that Koko has stopped all meds and is now behaving like a normal dog.”
