Parrot got sick

Despite never missing out on feeding and grooming my pet he got sick today. And while I'm in the middle of a villain hunt.
Does it even matter that we spend $$$ on feeding and grooming? Or is it just an attempt to keep playing furores?
I rather dish out 100k than aiming for 20 rings. You loose money also and with the hassle on top of that.

I need like a pet baby sitting place. :( I never play on the weekends, so Eurydice always gets unhappy really quickly. Last time I tried to use a happiness booster it didn't even work, and now her stats are permanently lower (Equaling 10). It's honestly so much upkeep, it's expensive, and playing furores is like having a second part time job. D: I hate to complain, but I feel your frustrations.

Oh, someone needs to explain this unhappy/sick pet thingy. What did I miss? Am I grinding for nothing to get one? I mean, I have periods of time when I don't play. How much attention do they need? Is there a guide somewhere? Also, hugs sent to you, dear BadAss.

It seems pretty random Devi. I suppose the more you tend after your pet the less chance it will become sick. But despite caring for it every day it still can get sick.
The pet gives a great boost but when it get's sick you're screwed if you're short on cash.

Yeah pets are cool, but they definitely need a re-think in some areas.
All pets will inevitably get sick. If you keep them happy though it'll take longer for them to get sick. Without any attention it takes something like two weeks for a pet to get sick, and with constant attention it takes over six months.
In particular I don't like the way players are forced to log in everyday to keep the pet happy, and I don't like that there's no way to get rid of the pet if you've decided its more trouble than its worth.

Can we get a magic wand or something to transform our pets into fluffy animals or something? My alter ego (Cro Magnon) also got a sick pet a few days ago. After medicating it the stats only grew back to +13 instead of the +16 bonus it used to be.
Also the pet now doens't seem to be fully grown again as for my parrot it did become fully grown after medication. Can we put a stop to this randomness?

My pet got sick a couple of weeks ago despite daily feeding and grooming every 3 days. I got the medicine immediately after but my pet never fully recovered. Instead of an accumulated bonus of +16 I only get a +13 bonus.
I think I have been punished enough by such a completely random thing and the reduced bonus feels like salt to the wound. I will no longer subscribe this account.

@ BadAss & Cro: this is exactly what happened to my parrot after it got sick - although he hadn't reached the full +16 bonus beforehand. He was at +14 and after the sickness and buying dorian's medicine etc he regained a little but not the full bonus. I had to give quite a few brass rings (about 40 I think) to Dorian before he got fully better.
I was encouraged by Yeti's remarks above though. It would be nice if we could have some kind of pet creche where they could stay if we have to be away from the game for a few days/weeks. A hire charge could be taken from our personal accounts.

My bird was almost maxed when I went out of town for almost a month. Of course he was sick when I returned. I bought a cure and his stats got to 2-9-2. I didn't get any boosters as I didn't want to spent any more rings. I was able to max his stats in about a month anyway.
Seems to me that we have to do certain number of cases each day/week to gain/keep those bonus points - as in spend the time with the pet like Yeti posted in the other pet thread.
IMO it would be great if the stats of the pets dropped to 0 and not in negative numbers in case they get sick.

So I was reading through this again...so Eurydice has been stuck at a max 10 points right now. I have to go get boosters to get her back to her full stats? D:
