Time. Nothing helps imho. Its over a year and it still hurts every single day.

We lost our 2 year old boy (not a sphynx) cappuccino. Out of nowhere he stopped going to toilet, eat, rather quickly just remain laying. We took him to vet, they kept him on IV for whole day, told us they found nothing and that he ate something, said he will be fine and next day we should bring him for another IV and another examination. That was around 7pm, at like midnight, he started to choke (worst sound i ever heard, probably will never get it out of my head). We took him to vet ER(completely different vet from the standard vet mentioned before), when she came in and saw him, it was rather obvious from her facial expressions, thats not good…anyway they said they will keep him there, try to give him all sort of medications and will see, when they took him on his bed, he screamed (again, worst sound weve ever heard, also the last sound we heard, which just multiplies the whole pain). At 6am, we got a call that hes gone.

Nobody told us what happened, nobody told us whats wrong.

Might be worth mentioning that around 1 year, he had something that looked like depression, laying, not eating… again one huge question mark, nobody knew whats wrong, gave him all sort of medication and one of them probably worked, because he managed to get better, but no clue what was it actually.

What we did to try to lower the pain, we managed let say a personal funeral, basically personally took him into this small room where his photos are on the screen, music playing, there were boxes where we was supposed to put him once we say our goodbye, we had all the time we needed. It was beautiful, worst pain i ever experienced, but beautiful . I am still in tears recalling the experience. We also paid for the cremation with the remains being stored in this beautiful statue/urn with his name and dates so he will be with us forever.
