Free Advice from Animal Communicator, Madeleine Walker
Dear Madeleine, My family and I recently lost our much loved "Zekey-Boy" (15 year old Doggy) a few weeks ago and one of our cats (Snickers) unsurprisingly is grieving as much as we are.
What is concerning me is that since his passing she's losing weight abnormally fast. In the weeks since our dog's passing she went from not eating at all at first, to eating normally again. I know she's still very sad, but she doesn't seem to be gaining back the weight she lost while not eating after his passing. I think it really is just sadness but I'm concerned it is something more. My heart is still beyond broken at losing our sweet baby boy, but I also
want to make sure that Snickers is okay. I don't think I can take losing her too. She's an amazing cat who always seems to know what's going on way before anyone (human or otherwise) else. Her presence is calming and loving and she seems to truly be a kindred spirit.
Our other cat is a very new edition (6 months ago) to our family and she seems to bother Snickers more than being fun for her, and I'm feeling bad about that.
A quick PS: Could you please tell Zeke how much we love and miss him and that
we know he's still with us? The cats seem to "see" him and we (my family and I) love that, it's been the best and some of the only comfort after his passing.

Hi Danielle,
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I feel Zeke is resting and healing and loves to pop in and see you from time to time to check up on you! He always knows how much he's loved. Animals do feel grief just as strongly as we do and it takes a lot to recover even though they may on the surface appear to be getting back to normal. Its like any human coping with grief it takes as long as it takes for each individual to learn to cope without a loved one.
So as I have mentioned before in my column, the homeopathic remedy Ignatia is very beneficial for acute grief. It is always advisable to get your pet checked out by a vet if its condition is not returning to its former glory, just to make sure that there are no other physical issues arising.
Best wishes,
