One of my dogs had died. The other is completely lost without her. Does anyone have any advice?

The one that is left is a 3 year old Jack Russell Cross, that already has lonelyness anxiety issues.One of my dogs had died. The other is completely lost without her. Does anyone have any advice?
aww bless..i would say to keep a blanket smelling of your old dog in her basket and baby get another dog? i know that may sound insenstive and i dont mean it to..its just this dog is still younge and may want a playmate.One of my dogs had died. The other is completely lost without her. Does anyone have any advice?
might want to consider getting another dog, the Jack may love it immediately or it may take time, but it will work





or





you can take the Jack to the dog park, daycare or lots of walks to keep his mind off of it
Just try giving the other dog a lot of attention and baby the other dog a little more. Pets that interact with each other a lot are usually very stricken by losing their buddy. You may think about getting another pet if the other dog doesn't respond to babying.
I had the same problem last year when one of my westies died , didnt want to get another dog as i couldnt bare the heartache , so i got a kitten ( living on a farm they are useful for keeping the mice down) , the kitten thought of my dog ';Bobby'; as its mother , they are best friends now lol x
I don't know what you mean by loneliness issues, is the dog left alone, by you, for long periods? You should definitely give her lots of attention at the moment and also get another puppy as company since he/she has been used to having another dog around. At 3 years old your dog will readily accept another puppy.
The same thing just happened to me just before christmas. The thing that worked with my dog was keeping her active and showing lots of affection. Keep talking to her/him. If this still doesn't work maybe consider buying another dog.
All it needs is time and some love. It is not used to not having a buddy. Just give it a little time to understand it better and to get over the loss.
i would try to get another dog or a puppy
Take your time and play with the dog.


If the dog spends a lot of time alone (you are away from home) I think the best Idea would be to get a new dog. Go to a shelter and adopt a dog. A pup would mean a lot of work but a grown dog should probably fit in. Take your dog to the shelter maybe he will find the right friend to bring home. Or if he likes cats, try to get one.
yeah, my english springer spaniel won't eat when shes away from my lab,





my 2 dogs r totally dependent on each other, if 1 were to die i'd get a puppy that looked and acted like the previes dog.





so replace ur dead dog with a new one that has the same persanlity trates.





sorry 4 my spelling =\
get a new puppy, make sure you have ime right off the bat to watch them though cause the old dog might be a little hesitant on having a new baby added to the ';family';
I'm sorry, what I did when my girl passed and my jack was just so lost. I washed all the doggie beds to try to get some of the smell gone (they both slept together) got new toys and played more with her. After about a week she go better, it just takes time like with us. She'll be okay as we do, some how some way.
This happened to my dogs. It was very sad. The other dog would not eat at all! Three days latter it died. So my advise is play with it all you can make sure it eats right, I might try to buy another dog in a week.
I am truly sorry for your loss and I know you can never replace the dog that has died, but for the sake of the other little dog, you should consider getting a younger dog to keep it company - especially if it is already experiencing anxiety issues.





Your dog should not feel threatened by a smaller, younger dog and, if you introduce them to each other gradually they should be fine.





I have 2 little dogs. One was in the vet's for over a week and the other one went off her food and was utterly miserable until her pal came home.





I wish you and your dog well, in your time of great loss.





EDIT





I came across this link on another answer here. It is about the loss of a beloved animal. It made me cry but it was so beautiful I thought I would pass it on to you.
