Golden retriever poorly oes puppy acting strange

We have just returned from our holiday. I have a 6yr golden retriever bitch who sadly got pyometra feb last year but after 7 days in intensive care she pulled through. I also have an 8 month oes puppy named Hollie. While on holiday Isla my golden retriever was struggling to walk etc saw vet who put her on metacam. Came home sat and saw our vet who explained Isla has swelling on the spine muscle wastage on front and back right legs inc knee/hocks. She was diagnosed October last year as multiple joint problems.
Hollie my oes puppy knows something wrong she lays next to Isla and washes her face and ears. My puppy no longer hypo and running around she is so calm but not far away from Isla. Although wherever Isla is Hollie was always nearby when Isla was ok and always thought Isla was her mum.
How will Hollie cope without Isla. :cry:

Oh how sad!! Hollie will mourn just as you will. She will quit eating or reduced eating, will mope around, etc. It will be up to you to get her outside, away from home and back into the "world." Give her time. All my dogs have mourned the passing of a pack member........some more than others. The closer they were the sadder the mourning, but they do get over it, trust me. I'm sorry about Isla, I hope the metacam helps her remain somewhat comfortable.
