This sounds EXACTLY like 2 Rotts that I fostered last year. They were 3 years old at the time.I also tried to separate them. I sent one to live with a friend across town and kept one with me. The one I kept here refused to eat or drink for 3 completed days. After that he would take water, but no food. I even tried to give him meat from the table and he refused to eat that, too. He started to lose weight rapidly. After 2 weeks, my friend called me and said that the dog he had was starving itself to death, that I needed to come get it. As soon as the "brother" was brought back to my house, both dogs were ecstatic, even though they hadn't "seen" each other yet. When I put them together, they whined, sniffed, licked, and ATE together. It took me 3 months to get their weight back on. I thought I had found a home for them together. If these are the same 2 dogs, I believe that if they are separated, they will grieve themselves to death.
