Hi Checkers-I'm so sorry for the loss of your furry friend. My dog of almost 17 years passed away 8 years ago & it was very difficult for me to deal with it. This loss could make your depressive symptoms worse so you should probably get in touch with either your pdoc or tdoc. Please keep posting here as there is a lot of support on this forum. Take care
