On July 30th one of my babies lost his battle with a cold. We did everything we could for him but it just wasn't enough. We had to move suddenly (about a week total) but he was doing very well for the first week but then he started showing signs of having the flu (goopy eye, stuffed nose) he was born with it and his mom stopped nursing him at just 4 weeks but we took over his feeding schedule and he was the only one in his litter that survived. He was 2 years and 10 months old so I try to find comfort in that we had him for so long, he wanted for nothing in his life and was a very happy boy.
So that being said, his little sister (he even picked her out when she was born, he was 2 months old at the time) to be doing alright with the loss, we let her see him and sniff him so she understood that he had passed and she said her goodbyes. However in the last week she has started meowing if we leave the apartment and at night she will spend a good hour running around doing the same thing. Nothing else has changed, when we buy toys we always get 2 like we did when her brother was still with us. I am disabled and I do have what is required to take her with as a support animal, but she doesn't like it, we have started taking her on walks in her stroller (I know its odd but it makes us, her included, all more comfortable with her in the stroller) she is ok for the first block or two but then freaks out, we've been slowing increasing the distance but I need a in-between training idea for her when we go to appointments or shopping. Thank you all in advance.
