Recently, we lost both our dogs to illness. Our cat grew up with our dogs and is showing symptoms of depression. It sounds crazy, but I really think after seeing both dogs "disappear", he feels he's next. He's been skiddish, sleeping a lot, and generally not his old self. We try to give him extra attention, but it's not working.
I really don't want to put him on any medication, but if it continues, I'll have no choice. The whole situation is heartbreaking and I really want to help my old friend.
My heart's not in it right now, but would the introduction of a new pet help or hurt? I really feel it would hurt-him and myself at this point.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
