As on the GP RIP post, one of our GPs had to be pts on Friday evening.
Remaining GP is 6 next month.
We collected a potential new friend on Monday.
She is installed across a partition, but introductions have not gone well with new going for old, old stressed and scared.
Old GP now has runny poos (we maybe gave her too much sweet stuff over the w/e) and isn't eating her nuggets at all (very unusual to be off her food).
We could
a) do nothing, hope she perks up when back to more normal diet of nuggets & green leafed food,
b) leave new GP across partition and hope they get used to each other
c) take new GP back to rescue and say not suitable, maybe see if a more placid one works better
d) take old GP to vet (would be stressful)
e) recognised old GP is sad and depressed and unlikely to perk up, and ...?
Not helped by DD having (clinically recognised) anxiety (which missed her a year of education 3 years ago, still recovering). So she gets massively stressed by this.
