The following story has been a very long journey, over 8 months of struggle and healing, inch by inch, day by day. It began in the most shocking manner, but now that the mother dog has healed and is living happily, we can look back and tell the tale of another animal’s miraculous recovery.
Last week, after 7 months of being isolated and recovering from lumpy skin disease, Balarama the baby bull calf moved in with the other bulls in our goshala. Here is a short video of his first day meeting the other bulls. He has since settled in and made many friends among them.
A short video of Vamana the bull using the scratching pole to scratch an itch.
One devotee has sent us horse gram (kulthi) to feed the bulls on Tuesdays. I believe this is a jyotisha remedy to pacify Mars. I am not an astrologer, but I think the bulls agree with this. Below is a short video of the bulls eating horse gram.
A little over a month ago we came across this dog with a badly injured tail. We managed to lure him into a cage and then began treating him. He ended up staying with us for over a month, and finally was released recently.
The first and second photos were taken around 10 months apart. Above is a picture of Hanuman the bull, also known as “Boney Cow”, taken today. It seems like it was ages ago that he came here, but it hasn’t even been a year.
Back then Lord Jagannatha arranged a miracle to save his life, which you can read about here. Since then he has grown huge, and lives a happy life with his bull family, including Sri Rama.
Yesterday we sat with one of the street puppies as they left their body from parvo disease. She had been the healthiest of the four mange puppies, but parvo hits so fast that they go from healthy to boney in just 2 days.
Around a month ago Butu, my Muslim mason friend who helps me treat sick animals at our ashram, came up to me and asked a peculiar question.
“If a dog is ran over by a truck, what medicine would you give it?”
From the question I could understand something was not right, so I asked him, “Why are you asking this particular question.”
Today is a good day for us to be thankful for. Pandava the cat, one of 20 cats that live around this temple property, had been very sick for five days. Throughout the five days he was constantly dripping and vomiting blood from his mouth, and it couldn’t be stopped. I suspect he had accidentally ingested rat poison. By the third day he could no longer respond, and was listless, just staring ahead.
Today Raju the street bull came for a visit to his old bull friends in our goshala. Previously when he was a baby we called him “Maaah Shanda” because of the sound he would make whenever he would see us. Later we met his previous owner who told us his name is Raju, and he released him to be a free roaming bull.
