Hershey, Always know we love and miss you very much and we did everything we could to keep you with us. We love you and always will nobody will ever take your place Love bug.
I took him in on May 12, 2004, to get his teeth cleaned and they did some bloodwork and found the his liver enzymes were way to high to have the procedure done safely so we called it off. We treated him a week and retested with no luck the numbers we even higher so we did a Biopsy and it really showed no cause or reason so with food and Medication we controlled it but on Oct 15 I noticed his urine was darker than normal and it was Positive for Bilirubine so we started him on fluids and more medication that we did at home for the next week until the next biopsy was done he then turned very dark yellow and was getting weaker and when they did the biopsy they said that it looked very bad and did not think he would make it after surgery so I did the only thing I could and that was to let him go and that was the hardest thing to do I kept asking did I do the right thing but in my heart I knew it was best for him. I told our vet to go ahead and send the biopsy I wanted to know what took our baby from us.

Two days later we had our answer it was Chronic Active Hepatitis with Chirosis of the Liver major degeneration and multiple organ failure. I know our little Hershey is an angel now but is missed every day. Hershey was born on Feb 20, 1998 and died on Oct 27, 2004 the day we lost our battle
