10/19/16 – My heart breaks to report that sweet Viper had to be humanely euthanized yesterday. Viper was rescued in August. He showed up one day on a very kind woman’s property; emaciated, flea and tick infested, and suffering from a serious upper respiratory infection. Since August he has made several trips to the veterinary for different medical issues and throughout all of this pain and discomfort, he always loved to cuddle. Yesterday, it was determined that Viper had FIP and could not be saved. The rescuer, the doctor, and I, all decided to end Viper’s suffering and let him cross the rainbow bridge. RIP Sweet Boy ~ diana
