Any of yous had a pet die? And had other pets as well? How did they handle their friend never returning? What things did you do to help them? Im gonna be asking the vets to on monday but seeing what other people have experienced. My youngest i think he will be sad but don't know 100% how he will react. But my girl. Shes really close to my older boy. Im worried how shes gonna cope with it. I need to figure all this out while i know i can still think. Im expecting all wbility to think will go on the day. And if his health keeps going downhill at the rate it is.... thats only 3-4 weeks away max.
This aint a pitty post i just need help figuring shit out. If you gonna be a fúckwit you getting insta blocked. I dont got time or energy for any bulshit
My fiancé lost one of her cats months ago, the cat was 19 years old so that time finally came sadly, my fiancé has 3 other cats (also one of which is pretty old now too) but after time passed she moved on from the sadness and just focuses on all the good times and such.
In 2019 my dog Holly passed away unexpectedly at home. Our other dog Scout was with us when it happened and was able to say his "goodbyes" too. He coped as well as he could; he was very bonded to her. Him being able to sniff her body after she had passed definitely kind of... let him know what happened to her. See if your vet will allow you to bring your other pet(s) to sniff the body afterwards so they can get that closure too. It can be more comforting to them as opposed to the pet leaving and not coming back. Sniffing the body gives them the knowledge that the pet has passed on. It's difficult on the human end to cope too but I found having Scout helped me cope from Holly's passing. And when we needed to euthanize Scout in March, my family adopted 2 dogs in the following 2 days and that helped a lot too.
Oooo mmk sweet. Im bringing him back myself anyway coz im taking him to be cremated at a place near me. So i might do that. Bring him home 1st so they can see
Yes, that works as well! We actually buried Holly in our backyard (legal where I live). I paid for Scout to be cremated, but the vet transported his body to the crematorium.
The vets place isnt even in the city. For them to courier him up get it done and bring him back in only a cardboard box costs $220. The place im taking him he isnt getting shipped round like cargo and i i can get him cremated and put into a brass cat shaped urn for $240. So its better in every way
Also i don't want to burry him here. Hes spent all his life here but im not living here all my life and not ready to leave him yet. I can always scatter or burry his ashes whenever when me n my dad are ready however long it takes. But if just his body only got a few days before he starts decomposing
Yeah. We only buried Holly because it was free to do so. We weren't expecting her to pass so we weren't able to have funds to pay for her cremation. I'm hoping to eventually exhume her and see if a crematory would be willing to do just her bones so she can be more transportable. I'll post a picture of Scout's ashes in a bit. The crematory put them in a nice wooden box with a name placard on it. I was surprised at how nice it was. He's on a shelf in my room next to the more recent mini urn I have of my grandfather, who passed in October. Also, you can put the body in the fridge to preserve it. Don't put it in the freezer as that will dehydrate it. I got this from some vet-related groups I'm in on Facebook; I'm not a serial killer, I swear. 😅
Its algoodz. Already got the money sorted to cremate him when the time comes. Was a joint decision between me and my dad coz my dad is close with him as well. Went against the wood boxes they look nice but way over priced for what they are. Would make my own but don't really have the spare money to get the tools and everything to do that
The wood box was included in the price of the cremation, I believe. I paid about $100 for it and I wasn't charged any extra for the box. But of course that would be something that would differ between crematories.
The The boxes were more expensive then the brass urn. They are included in the price but still more then what wanna pay. Got a surgery to save up for as well
