Carol,

I'm so sorry to hear this!!! I'm an animal person myself. Using any substance will only hinder your healing process. You are doing the right thing! I'm allergic to cats, so I have 3 big dogs. They have been my children for years. It is such a heartbreak to lose a pet. At least you got to enjoy her time on this earth. I'll keep you in my prayers. I'm so sorry for your loss.
