We just put one of our dogs to sleep on the 21st. It was an unexpected event and very hard to do. Our remaining dog, Blair, wouldn't eat her food and just laid around all day. Didn't even want to chase birdies. We have kind of spoiled her, giving her more attention. Lots of walks, cuddling. hard to do with a 70 lb. dog! She also wouldn't eat, so we mixed canned food into her dried and she loved that. Little by little she is coming around. This morning she wanted to chase birds! I would recommend speaking with you vet. He/she will have some ideas for you. Our vet told us to call is we needed any help with Blair. So far we haven't had too.
I feel for you. This is the 2nd time we have had to put a dog down due to illness in the last 7 years. Never easy. My sympathy to you and your family for your loss. It will get better and shower your remaining pet with as much love as you can possibly give.
