Hope Memorial Cow Hospital
We are home to a large herd of cows, chickens, ducks, a horse, and a donkey - many of which, are now getting older and need a lot of extra care.
​
This is why Farmhouse Garden Animal Home is raising $40,000 to build the Hope Memorial Cow Hospital - a space for sick and aging cows to be comfortably examined, handled, and rehabilitated.
​
​
Among the eldest of the cows is Annabelle, who is now 20 years old. She's living a beautiful life surrounded by her animal friends and family, but in a few years she may not be as mobile. Annabelle needs to have facilities in place that will help her be comfortable and happy as she ages.
It's not just for older cows - Gretel, who is about 9 years old, recently had a growth on her eye removed. While the vets were able to treat her with our existing setup, having more modern updated equipment will make future treatments and monitoring far less stressful, and easier for both the animals and our veterinarians.
​
The $40,000 we hope to raise will go towards the following, along with associated construction costs:
Specialized cow handling equipment
We need updated cow handling equipment that is specially designed to reduce the stress levels of the cows and make it easier to undergo routine procedures for the whole herd
Rehabilitation Spaces
​
We need to build clean, comfortable, and easily accessible spaces for sick and aging cows to be housed in.
Veterinary Examination Facility
Our cows can't go to the vet; the vet has to come to us. That is why we need to build a facility that makes it easy and safe for vets to perform examinations and procedures in the most humane way possible.
