Karabao Intentionally Injured.

Laceration is above my finger tips.  It's healing better now.  Looks a lot better than yesterday.

Yesterday, after I fed most of the animals, I went to feed, Gera, our karabao.  I brought his favorite flake of alfalfa hay for him.  Then I started to refill his water trough. I normally stay a bit after his trough is full to just take in the scenery.  As I looked at Gera's back, I noticed that there were a lot of flies on him.  A particular group of flies in a straight line, a long two spots on his back, caught my eye.  When I went up to brush them off, I noticed that Gera's back was cut.  I immediately washed him down with the water hose.  Then I went back to the house and grabbed some medications, particularly Hydrogen Peroxide and ointment.  I cleaned out Gera's wounds thoroughly, and then applied the ointment generously on the wounds.

As I was cleaning his wounds.  It was clear to me that his wounds were intentional.  There were multiple scratches in the area of the cuts, and majority of the scratches were on his left side of his body, almost none on the right.  The object could have been a dull knife or other object, the cut was not clean but jagged.  It was not deep either, only the first layer of skin was cut.  

Today, when I inspected the wounds.  It pretty much closed up and is healing good.  I'm glad that he is okay.  If I ever catch the person who did this.  May God help you.
