Let him see her after she's gone, whether you bring him to the vet, or if the vet comes to your place, let him see her body. It will help him understand her absence. We did this with everyone when Froli was gone. They each had very different reactions. Bort was in avoidance, you could tell he understood but he wouldn't go near her. Vikka went in sniffed her and came to me. Banja's still breaks my heart (she was 11mos at the time). She went over and kept nuzzling at Frol's head, almost as if to get her to move. As hard as it was, I'm glad we did it, I think it helped ease things here at home.

Expect depression and some changes for awhile, but then know that it will get better, both for you and for Rocco.
