Sadly Dd's much loved guinea pig died 2 days ago. He was the one she cuddled when she felt anxious or low, and absolutely adored him. She has been floored by this, and is now even more anxious about separation and is worried about me leaving her. She says she just feels scared and sad.
I'm not sure how to help her. Any suggestions?

Find a replacement? Not quite as heartless as it sounds, she needs something to love and nurture. Not even a Guinea pig necessarily, although they make an excellent dependable pet (but get a pair, they're social animals).

Honestly, get another. My dd loves her pets but the love does transfer.
