I think Fred will be alright on his own for a few weeks while my financial situation settles down and I can stash away some money for vet care, but I will probably look into getting his friend sooner than I had originally intended. Still, I would much rather wait a few weeks to get his friend than run out to adopt another cavy now, end up having a piggy emergency, and have a pig suffer because I could not pay for treatment. |
Good plan. And down the road, one of the big advantages of rescues is their animals are typically vet checked and treated for any pre existing conditions before they're allowed to be adopted out.
