Alone or not?

My oldest piggy Smores has been having a reaccuring UTI for the last couple of months. I think I finally got rid of it by getting her antibiotics and seperating her from the other pigs because I believe she and Dexter were passing it amongst themselves. Now she seems to be totally recovered but I'm wondering if I should put her back in with the other piggies.
Since she is 6 she likes to sleep a lot and the other pigs don't seem to understand that since they are all 3 and under. She eats slower than they do so they were always stealing her veggies, even when I fed her on a different level of the cage.
Now that she's been alone for a few weeks, (in a different cage than them because she stresses herself out chewing on the cage bars trying to get to them), she's been getting pretty social with me. She'll sleep in my lap and she doesn't seem very scared at all when I pick her up, which used to be a big issue. She seems like she's a little depressed sometimes about being away from them, but she's eating/drinking fine and I've even caught her popcorning a few times.

What would you do in my situation? I'm wondering about maybe putting Midnight (my "special" pig who's somewhat sedate herself) in Smore's cage to keep her company.

I was going to suggest getting her an older or more settled pig to keep her company. Midnight may be just the trick.
