Hi and Welcome to YT! Wish it could be under different circumstances though...
Bad idea to take the brother along ... did that with unrelated, different breeds and my Yorkie kind of freaks out now at going to the vets. He is getting better about it, but I think it really traumatized him.
I wouldn't wash to get rid of her scent right away. Maybe do it gradually, washing a couple things here and there. Allow him time to grieve.
Snuggle-buddy (I think that's the name) at Petsmart has a mechanical heartbeat and a microwavable pouch to provide warmth. Good for puppies, sick dogs, etc... may help him to feel less lonely at night, or maybe allow him to sleep in your bed at night???
And keep an eye on him for when he feels down, be prepared to give him extra attention and try to do things with him that he likes more often to keep his mind busy.
Prayers to you all that things go better than expected through these trying times... |
