How well I remember when Zipper became a part of your family and what a joy it was. He has not let you down, and you have been his rock through these dark days.
I pray that this will be lead to the resolution for his misery. Yes, it is risky but there is certainly a possibility that they will be able to find out what the problem is. And this will give him that chance he deserves. God bless dear, sweet, loving Zipper, and God bless you for giving him such care.
