Grooming and Health Care Tips for Your Fluffy Companion
Grooming
The long, fluffy coat of a Mini Highland Cow requires regular grooming to keep it in good condition. Brushing not only helps to remove dirt, debris, and loose hair but also provides an opportunity to bond with your cow and check for any skin issues or parasites. During the shedding season, more frequent brushing may be necessary to help them lose their winter coat. Hoof care is also important; hooves should be checked regularly and trimmed by a professional if needed to prevent overgrowth and lameness.
Health Care
Routine health care is vital to ensure your Mini Highland Cow stays healthy. Regular vaccinations and deworming are necessary to protect against common bovine diseases and parasites. A veterinarian experienced with cattle should perform annual check-ups to monitor the overall health of your cow. Be observant for any signs of illness, such as changes in appetite, behavior, or bowel movements, and consult with a vet if any issues arise. It’s also important to maintain a record of all health care procedures and treatments your cow receives.
