Hi! I am new around here, so forgive me if my question sounds clumsy. To provide some context for it: I live in a big house with my mom, my dad, my twin siblings, a cat named Tigresa, and a collie named Winkie. Recently, Winkie had breast cancer.
Luckily for her, it wasn't as serious as it could have been, and the vet removed it successfully. She is in great shape now but is still struggling. She had been suffering from the effects of cancer for a while before we noticed something was wrong.
My dad thought it was her leg, so we stopped taking her on walks, and, after the surgery, we didn't give her baths for a while either. She had reacted badly to the products the pet shops were using before, and we didn't feel like we would be able to wash her at home without damaging the wound.
After her recovery, we bathed her, then traveled for two days after a while, and she ate just dog food during this time. When we came back, her fur looked stunning! This whole process has been a big wake-up call for us, and we resolved to be better owners to Winkie. She still has a long way to go, though.
And thus, this brings us to the subject of this post: my mom and my dad think it would be a good idea to get another Collie. They believe that if we get a puppy that looks like Winkie, we could trigger her maternal instincts so she would heal better and faster. I am not sure this is a good idea, so I wanted to see if you guys could give me feedback on that.
THANKS!
