I am very saddened to report that Charlie has passed away. He went peacefully and after a long fight; he is in a better place. I commend the entire hospital staff who worked tirelessly to ensure that he had the best possible care and every chance to survive this tragic ordeal. There is often death in veterinary medicine, and while you never get used to it you do learn to accept it. However, in cases like this where a sweet patient has a horrible disease that does not respond to treatment, it just breaks my heart. Goodbye Charlie, we will see you at the Rainbow Bridge.
