She is grieving as well. If necessary hand feed her to help her along. Take her outside, even if just holding on to her so she can smell the air. Try to perk her interest in things. If you have it rescue remedy can literally be a life saver in these cases. Dab a bit on the nose, ears, pawpad when needed as well as putting a few drops in the water bowl every time you change it.

Thanks Sherry. You can see the pain in her eyes. I feel like she is just looking at me wanting answers. I have the rescue remedy and just used it on her. I just got her to eat a very small amount of chicken and I am going to take her outside momentarily.

Lucrezia grieved Vincent for almost a year. You could actually see the tear tracks on her face. They really do cry. She laid on my lap every time she was out of cage for over a week right after. And this was a ferret who never wanted to be held as she was too busy.
Later on we would notice her going off by herself and curling up in a ball. One of us would pick her up and she was usually weeping. We would just snuggle her and reassure her. I took her everywhere for quite a while to perk her interest in things.
She finally recovered but she was never the same. Much more reserved and not at all carefree and impulsive

Oh wow, that had to be unbearably hard to watch.

My Caillou grieved for Juliet for months, it was worst in the first 2 months or so, 1 month after she had passed the stress got to him and caused gastric bleeding, that's how much he missed her. He already had health issues though, that just made everything so much worse. It's so hard to watch them grieve, but in the times Caillou was depressed, I spent a lot more time with him, and it brought us both together and made us closer, we were both grieving for Jules. Everyone deals with stress and loss in their own way, it just takes time. I know it hurts, but what I did was turn on some heartfelt music and look through pictures of my baby that I had lost, and just cry my eyes out, let everything go. Laugh, cry, scream, anything. Go outside and yell, go to a friend and cry, whatever helps. We are all here for you, and we understand. If you need to vent or cry or just talk, you know where we are.  |
