malingerer [mah-ling´ger-er]

one who is guilty of malingering.

malingerer

in human terms, an individual who feigns illness. The word cannot really be applied to animals but is sometimes used as a name for an assortment of otherwise difficult to classify cases, e.g. cows which 'sulk' and will not rise even though they probably can, or animals that practice attention-attraction behavior, e.g. dogs feigning lameness.
