Wise Old Thumper
Hello! I haven’t been on here for a long time!
Tapla is becoming wobbly in her old age and although the vet feels she’s doing okay she is also completely blind, almost completely deaf, both front feet/ankles are fused with arthritis and now has weak and wobbly back legs as well as preferring to turn in a circle. She’s lost feeling in the lateral side of her right back foot. She’s on gabapentin and stemetil but it’s not making very much difference. I don’t want her to have to suffer and will be having her out to sleep in the next few weeks or so.
I’ve considered adopting 2 girls to go with Winston instead of just 1 and I wondered if there’s any pro/cons I’ve not considered?
Winston would probably love 2 wives and it means when one dies I’m not left with a single bun that will be sad and lonely for a few weeks until I can adopt another.
If I have 3 I might need a bigger carrier. Extra vaccine and insurance cost. Negligible extra food cost one might be left out? Winston and Tapla absolutely dote on each other so he has a lot of love to give but what if his wifeys get jealous ?
