willow pased away around 3pmish 27th october..and berties been a wreck....i rember bif when her husbun died..she got worse and worse until four days later she lay down to die..she even refused food by then..if bertie hadnt come to me on loan shed have died. he saved her life.
long story they got bonded then willow came along and then bonding didnt work..so bandit joined them and i eventually bonded four..then they unbonded leaving the frenchies willowand bertie as a pair.
they were very devoted to each other.....snuggled as much as the weenies do and as much a bif n bertie used to do.
theyve been attacking him and vice versa...they were having a break form rebonding sessions when willow died a few days after.
i want ideally to rebond them as a trio..but bif n bandit have a thistle hall hutch in the lounge and bertie can only fit in the bottom for a snooze all curled up...if i successfully bond the trio should i leave hutch door open hel have his tent etc and theyll have their hutch but then they canshare.
im worried about him...hes grieving very badly..and hes getting worse....im worried as now he wont even go in his tent he shared with willow....
ideally hed love another frenchie wife..this is the second frenchie wife whos died on him..his first wife died 5 months before we adopted him..and now hes lost willow.he loved bif very much but to be with another bun his size..well she was even bigger:shock: seemd to make him feel complete i guess....
if he doesnt get better should i ring aorund to see if a rescue has a frenchie r similar sized doe and arrange a meeting..would it be ok to just leave him at home so he doesnt get stressed as much as acar journey considering his state......and poss get a doe form a rescue and bring her here....but pen her off from bertie..
im so uset still i make him fel worse and he swins away form the cuddles ive been giving him. hes eating a little but not bertie sized portions..hes eaten a weeny bit of hay and some oat wheat barley hay...and two small spring green leaves..but hes not drinking..hes avoiding the litter tray prefering to use the littlies one and his n willows whilst they were bonding gain.
how do i tell.i have only ever had bif lose oscar...berties a hulking great pile of tears if he could only cry..his heart is broken andhes lonely...even the ats cant get a response form im..theyve been avoiding him in fact as hes so sad and depressed.
i know its ealry days but after bif going downhill all week then ending up laying down to die a few days later...i cant help but panic..i cant lose my big puffalump like this...hes our big soft cuddle monster whos lost his wife and is grieving very very hard.
when do i decide what his options are......im so lost right now..woth bif it was easy..it was heralone..but we have bertie and we have a pair of weenies and two cats...pleasepelase help
