Honestly I think you should keep Oliver in isolation... I think you are at the point where you need to judge based on how you would handle the worst case scenario and do what is best for you and Greg. But then - Hugo had to be isolated from months 4-9 due to T’s stress making him sick then injured and he is totally fine! He was lonely and it was sad but he and T get along well now and his social development doesn’t seem to have suffered (at least he has way more social skills than T does, lol). I think the research shows that the key social development period is before 14 weeks, so much of what he knows should already be locked in by now I think. I started Hugo doing cat agility when he was young to tire him out. I still have to do it sometimes so he’ll let us sleep through the night!
