Hi, sorry if this is under the wrong thread. A few hours ago, we had to put our guinea pig (Oreo) to sleep due to many factors. Oreo and Milo lived together and we got them at the same time. They are/were both 6 years old. After the vet put our piggy to sleep, they wrapped him in some sort of paper/blanket/cloth. I haven't opened it in some sort of respect to him.
I've seen many people say to let the other guinea pig see it's piggy friend that has passed away to say goodbyes. Oreo hasn't been well for a while and I think both piggies could tell. Milo has not yet seen Oreo, but he is definitely acting differently. He's not reacting, moving or eating much. I have a feeling he knows what has happened. I'm not sure showing him Oreo will bring him satisfaction and if I should take Oreo out to show him. What do you think I should do? The vet didn't say anything about showing him to the other piggy but I forgot to ask. I'm just not sure if seeing Oreo will make him feel any better. Thank you.
