's Werelds beroemdste egel is overleden

Een infectie na een ingreep aan zijn tanden werd de Afrikaanse witbuikegel fataal. “De dierenarts gaf hem antibiotica om te genezen, maar plots voelde Pokee zich heel slecht”, schrijft zijn baasje Litha op zijn Instagrampagina.

This is probably the hardest thing I ever had to do. Pokee was diagnosed with bacteria after his dental surgery. He had been active and doing okay and they weren't able to find out what exact bacteria he had until 3 days ago. The vet gave him antibiotics to treat them, but all of a sudden Pokee was feeling much worse. I took him to an emergency clinic at 1 am, because he wasn't able to properly move anymore along with other symptoms that scared me to pieces. They weren't able to find out what was wrong with him. So yesterday morning I took him to his vet and it turns out he had a blood infection which was caused by another different kind of bacteria. This bacteria was able to multiply while the other kind died and released some toxins. The vet did everything he could, I did everything that was possible and Pokee fought the entire day and night ?? . Our dear community, I want you all to know that you guys have given us so much strength yesterday with all your lovely messages. We have all united our strength and love to help Pokee fight until the very end. We gave him the power to do what was best for him and take this decision. Saying goodbye must have been so hard for him, because he was such a little warrior. But in the end, all that matters is that he is no longer in pain and able to rest in peace. He fell asleep and looked so peaceful and thankful this morning ?? . My dear Pokee, I love you with all of my heart, unconditionally and always. You're forever in my heart, always remembered as the sweet little angel that you are. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the happy moments you've given me and for being here for me when I needed you the most. One part of me died with you, the other one will keep you in my heart for eternity ? . Let's remember Pokee the way he would've wanted us to remember him: As the sweet little fellow he was. Let's go out there today and celebrate him, let's laugh, spend time with our loved ones and make him smile this time. Rest in peace, little angel ??

Spoed

“Ik bracht hem 's nachts naar een spoeddienst, omdat hij niet meer goed bewoog en andere symptomen vertoonde die me schrik aanjaagden. Ze vonden niet wat er mis was met hem. Gisteren ging ik opnieuw met hem naar zijn dierenarts, waar bleek dat hij een bloedinfectie had. Pokee vocht de hele dag en nacht, tot het einde.” Hoewel hij hard bleef vechten moesten de dokters hem toch laten inslapen. “Hij heeft geen pijn meer en kan in vrede rusten. Lieve Pokee, ik hou zielsveel van je”, besluit Litha geëmotioneerd.

De 'Petfluencer' Mr. Pokee is heus niet de enige bekende egel op de sociale netwerksite, maar wel degene met de meeste volgers. “Tussen alle ernstige dingen in de wereld door wilde ik mensen een reden geven om te glimlachen, ook al is het maar voor even”, aldus zijn baasje.
