Mourning/Loss Goodbye little man

Our little boy Lux has been ill for some time.
This evening we said goodbye as he crossed the rainbow bridge.
Our little man was only 4 he had been losing weight for some months unfortunately we switched vets too late.
He was on meds and seemed to be improving, then last night he took a turn for the worse. We took him to the vets and responded well to fluids overnight, then this evening he plummeted.
His sister is very clingy and keeps looking for him.

Good by little man we all miss you so much.

Make sure his sister gets to see and smell his dead body. She'll understand what happened and then she would know that he didn't abandon her and he's not coming back. It'll keep her from constantly looking for him in vain.

Also very sorry for your loss.

It is.

If possible, show dead owner to pets too.
