Phoenix received around the clock care, but sadly he passed away after failing to recover from a general anaesthetic. It became apparent in recent weeks that his extensive wounds would not sufficiently recover and would not live a good quality of life, unless further treatment would need to be undertaken.

A skin graft was needed to improve his quality of life but sadly he would not wake up from the anaesthetic. Our hearts go out to all those who cared for Phoenix who are obviously devastated by the loss.
