Permanent Debilitating Problems INSTEAD OF Death Sometimes

When a wolf dies of an illness/injury there should be an option to keep them around, but not use them anymore. That way sentimental players could keep their favorite wolves around, until they die of old age. In this sense they would be like immortal wolves that could die, or like puppies. 

Say the wolf "dies" at rollover. You have an option to 'save' that costs some amount of sc or a certain medicine, and if used the wolf 'lives' but becomes useless. If you can't or don't want to save death proceeds as usual. 

The 'saved' wolf would have a line-art change (missing limbs, eyes, that kind of thing). The wolf still needs to be played with and fed, but can't have any jobs. Maybe if other roles become a thing in the future they could do those,  but they defiantly can't hunt, keep up with puppies, scout, or forage for herbs. 

Maybe they have a 'survival bar' like puppies have, and if not fed/played with to 100% each rollover there is a chance they die.

Please note, NOTHING will happen to your pretty, healthy wolves. This is a temporary alternative to death. For players focused on lore, or are attached to a certain wolf, this is an added bonus. NOTHING will change for players who want to continue as normal. 

This would require coding, and a good deal of art. 

Thoughts? 

It would probably be something for far off in the future since it'd take so much work to do, but that does sound like an interesting idea. Of course, depends on what they'd die from - some injuries or illnesses would be extra hard if not impossible to survive.

This problem would also have a solution with Make Wolves In Dynasty Immortal Option suggestion. In case that interest anyone perusing this suggestion. Link

Also, if people are interested in disabilities, injuries, or scars there are suggestions for decor that can be applied and removed from your wolves. Link

But your idea is cool too. Because it's optional, I can see you getting less pushback than the other suggestions I've seen. I like the idea of having disabled wolves in game but I'm undecided if this is how I want it implemented.
