This happened a while back, and thought maybe this might give others an idea of what can happen when you bring the deceased body back for their friends to grieve. The video was cut when Sinnead was going to stash her friend's body under the china cabinet so no one else could take him away again  This went on and off for almost an hour. |

I just could never bring myself to let one of mine see the other's dead body. It would make the whole incident much worse for me. Another memory, I would not like to have.

yeah. I work a an animal rescue and 3 weeks ago we got in a momma kat and 4 kittens. everything was ok and one day I came in and momma was gone/stiff and the kittens (4 weeks?) were sitting on her mewing. One of them didn't make it. Kittens were sent on to a kitten rescue but that tore me up. I've lost over a dozen kats, 28 ferts and 6 dogs, but only 1 bonded pair of ferts.
I only did that once. nuff said

I brought my ferret’s crate mates to the appointment when I knew we would have to make the decision for euthanasia. I didn’t want him to be alone and to allow his crate mates an opportunity to view and interact, even briefly, to his body to know he was gone. His crate mates didn’t know what to do once he was gone. They sniffed his body, and tried to dig the blanket under him, but eventually they left his body to wonder the exam room. I wanted to at least allow them the time to be with him one last time and I feel good about this decision. Thankfully, they have other ferret friends to help them cope, and we all continue to grieve and learn to live on in his absence.
In memory of Lord Beerus. <3

I always allow my guys to say goodbye to each other, letting them interact however they need with their deceased friend. Yes it can be hard to see but I think it is harder to watch them search for a friend who just didn't return one day. I may be transferring my feelings to them because I hate never knowing what happened. I think even though they may try to rouse their buddy, ultimately animals understand death and they have some closure and they move on.
