My family and I are so very sorry. We've followed your valiant battle to give your baby every possible chance, and I am sorry to see it come to this sad conclusion, but Trinka is now your Angel just as you were his.

Wishing you peace and strength during this difficult time,
Sandi&Whisper.

((Gretchen and your family)) and ((dear FDMB friends who have been with Trinka and Gretchen during this journey))
❤❤❤❤❤❤

When I first began this thread to help Gretchen and Trinka get started here during their Memorial Day weekend crisis, little did I foresee at the time all that would unfold or that Trinka's journey to join the spirits would begin during yet another holiday weekend, the Fourth of July.

Tuesday night, soon after Gretchen and Philip set Trinka free, nighttime came and friends down the road at the mouth of the river began their annual fireworks while I was upstairs with civie Azalea. Through the window we saw glorious displays of light and color, the usual sounds this time seeming mellifluous instead of cacophonous. I felt Trinka's presence in those fireworks: joyous, reveling in the unbounded fullness of being in the release to becoming spirit. At the same time I realized that the little bird nest, nestled in the Christmas wreath that I'd kept up for just such springtime purposes, had fallen silent during the day. The active, ever hungry, chirping babies who for weeks had been visible by sound and beaks, had finally fledged during the day. For some reason, it all seemed to be in sync with Trinka's journey; the birds fledged in time to help lead the way for Trinka and the fireworks became the voice of Trinka's joy and well being in the Universe.

Fly free, Sweet Trinka and thank you for being in our hearts and lives.

Hubby was wondering how long it takes siblings to grieve. I was away for the weekend and Trinkas litter mate Yoshi was walking thru the house meowing. Had food fresh water and clean litter box.

As Yong said, the grieving is so individual. What were his eating patterns/how was his appetite while you were away? If he hasn't eaten, you risk onset of hepatic lipidosis which is very serious.

If he is eating but not as much, there also might be an underlying health issue brewing. I'd bring yoshi to the vet right away for a complete physical and senior CBC blood work panel. If something is brewing, it'll be better to catch it now.

It has been over 8 weeks since Tuxie passed and his littermate sister Maxie is still yowling and howling. I had to syringe feed her the first week or so, since she was refusing to eat. It has lessened somewhat but she is still in grieving. I even took her to the vet and had full bloodwork done a week or so after, to make sure there were no health issues other than her FD. They were together 16 1/2 years and Tuxie was the more dynamic personality of the two. Just like people, kitties need to work through their grief. I try to give as much extra attention and time to Maxie as I can. :bighug::bighug:
 
He isn't really much of a canned food eater but likes to nibble on dry. Also enjoys licking juice out of Sheba container. Has always had a small appetite
