Hello ~
 
I have not seen tears, but I have seen depression and grief.  I always
use a natural (or flower) essence called Star of Bethlehem.  You can get
the essence from the Flower Essence Society at www.floweressence.com.
There you can read about essences, how they are made, and their wonderful
safety factor.  This is one of the best things you can do for your
fuzzies.  It is safe and they seem to begin recovering almost
immediately.  It has even pulled depressed fuzzies out of their shock
at being relocated.  Just add 4 drops from the stock bottle you purchase
to their fresh water each day until you see a change-then stop.
 
Warmly ~
