Thanks so much everyone. I love the ones that you guys made and will use them both (the color does not look weird at all Libby). If anyone else made one or wants to make one, I'll make sure they all get to my friend. I have to make at least a few cards for her anyway... one from me, one for everyone at the vet to sign, and one from my animals.
This came on SO suddenly. Last Friday, Tammy brought Iris to the clinic suspecting hip problems because Iris had been slow to get up and not herself for a couple days. After some tests, the doctors suspected kidney problems and kept her pumped with massive amounts of fluid all day and all night at the emergency clinic. Back to the normal doctor on Saturday morning, they ran more tests and all of a sudden the kidneys seemed back to normal. Bloodwork and Xrays showed there were serious problems. Iris was bleeding internally and her Xrays showed that her lungs were in horrible shape (she had been panting a lot the day before, but no other real symptoms previously). They finally sent Tammy home with lots of pain meds and an injection just in case Iris was suffering too much and needed to be helped to the bridge from home Iris went back for a recheck on Monday. I saw her and she seemed tons happier than Fri and Sat. I had brought her lots of gourmet dog treats because she hadn't been eating too much. I wish I had known that was the last time I'd ever see her On Monday, they told us she'd have 3-6 months. She passed away very quickly on Wednesday night. She got cold and her gums were gray. They were about to load her into the car to take to the emergency room, but within 5 minutes she was gone
