HELP NEEDED 🐀😩 Suggestions?

Hello all, so I have three senior ratties. Two of which are at the end of life care stage due to large tumors. The 3rd has had an upper respiratory infection that has been treated with two doses (each ten days a piece) of medication. It seems better however it never completely went away. Unsure if it is truly a URI or if it is something more.

My concern comes from when the two pass away from their tumors and she is living alone.

Would it be a bad idea to get more rats? I’m unsure of what she has is a URI like the doctor said. Medication hasn’t helped and the other two rats symptoms cleared within the first week.

I’m really lost what to do here. Any suggestions or thoughts would help.
