  • Collar off, and the hunger strike is also off!

    I was right about the e-collar. Cow hates it and he was protesting against it by going on that hunger strike. Despite me taking off the collar during mealtimes, he still refused to eat. This evening, Cow knew the collar was “officially off”, so after a major 45-minute self-grooming session, Cow decided to join the…

  • Cow goes on a hunger strike….

    But it’s not Gandhi-styled, it’s a protest on what is happening to him. He refused to eat this morning. He refused to eat this afternoon and by 3pm, all I could manage to get him to eat were 3 pieces of kibble. He also refused to drink water, spitting out whatever I syringed into his…

  • Collar off…but only for 20 minutes

    I wanted to let Cow have collar-off time this evening, so I took the collar off to see what he would do. He licked the wound for a few seconds, and after I stopped him, he ran out and sat at the Clubhouse.  He just sat…with Indy.  Nurse Tabs was on standby, of course.  We…

  • How now, Cow?

    Cow had been sleeping most of today. However, he really likes lying on the grass. Not that that’s his normal habit, he seems to want to lie on the grass for some reason. Maybe being closer to nature helps him to heal? Maybe it’s something we don’t know? I’ve been checking on the wound and…

  • Cow 3.0

    Today is Day 3 of  “Cow Management”. Last night, I was glad (yet a little worried) when all Cow did was to sit and stare at the wall for hours. He was in this position for at least 5 hours all night, not moving much. And I took the chance and did one more round…
