A couple changes to cowponies in the new run of Raricow:

• A cowpony does not develop an udder until they become pregnant.  As soon as an egg is fertilized the udder begins to form.
  
• In Raricow cowponies are infectious through bodily fluids, though the contagion is in such negligible amounts that it is only really possible to “catch” the affliction through direct consumption of tainted fluids.
• It is possible to drink from a cowpony for a time without changing, but once the changes have begin they will progress to completion
• If a bullpony (male who becomes a cowpony) drinks heavily from a cowpony they run the risk of becoming a female cowpony.  Again, they can drink without changing, but if the changes start they will finish
• Lactose intolerance acts as an effective immunity to the infection through milk.  The body is unable to break down the milk and so the magic dies.
• The source of the magic infection cannot tolerate cold, so chilling stored milk will remove the infection from the fluid, but heating it may reactivate the infection after which it can remain viable for some time..
