    Dude - standing there while the puss and nastiness is spraying out of that cow's hoof, then continuing to stand there and provide as much pain relief as you can to to cow, it shows how you truly care of these animals. I hope she gets some vet attention and the vet can do more for her. Also, I can always tell when the smell is bad because of the way your breathing changes in the audio.

    I have to say this: I’m a respiratory therapist. You really need to put a good mask while using the machine to smooth the hoof. All that debris is extremely harmful to your lungs and over time, you might develop pulmonary fibrosis or something like it - an ILD (interstitial lung disease). Please be careful.
    Also, that puss has so much bacteria that is not good to expose your face - use a face shield (like a welder).
    Love your videos!

    The vet will make a cut on the side, open it up and scratch all the puss out. After that he will flush it with Iodine, put a drainage bandage in her and give her an antibiotics shot. He will not close the cut because it needs to drain, just bandage it up so no dirt can get inside. After a few days he will pull the drain and see if it is getting better or not. If not he will repeat that all over again. If it is getting better he might or might not put another drainage inside, might flush it again and let it heal up (no stitches).

      Ah, I was wondering if he could flush it out, and he did a bit with the spray, but that’s more the job of the vet. I have a pug that in his younger years thought he was every bit as big as the mastiff he would annoy. Getting ripped up didn’t seem to make a big impression on him. Between him and one of my horses I learned to do a lot of the routine wound flushing and checking of drain tubes. Mine always got soft surgical tubing sewn in and always seemed to need to have it flushed during healing. I can’t imagine what the vet bill would be if I needed them to do it every time.😳

    About six years ago I developed a fistulated abscess and was referred to a surgeon. Well, he didn't realize it was an abscess. Thought it was just a crack that wouldn't heal. His solution was to cauterize it shut.
    And that's when my life went to absolute hell. With the abscess now trapped, all it could do was grow. And grow and grow. The pain reached levels where I seriously considered checking out just to escape it. I was referred to a second surgeon who correctly diagnosed the problem, but exploratory surgery didn't reveal it. She just couldn't find it. Third surgery, she finally ruptured it.
    The monster was larger than an orange and deep within my body.
    Six months. For six freaking MONTHS I was tortured by this damn thing, but the day after it was finally open, my life began to turn around rapidly. I really just had to recover from the surgery, but even that was a cake walk compared to that entrapped pus ball.
    Just letting it OUT will elevate that poor cow's quality of life. Yes, she's still hurting, but this will be immeasurably better. I don't know if she can survive this, but she's definitely in less pain.
    God bless you, sir. You made more of a difference than you realize.

      omg, my hubbie had one of those! he had a pimple driving him nuts and asked me to deal with it (closet popaholic, me) bec he couldn't reach it. i looked at it, but literally one poke with my finger and all my instincts said to leave it alone and get him to the doctor. he told me i was being a sissy and just go ahead and do it. so i looked him dead in the eye and gave it the lightest pinch. he literally went grey from the pain.
      we went to the dr, dr said it's just a pimple. i argued and said it's not, there's something more going on. dr gave him a cream to use. the pain increased to the point he was waking up moaning in pain, so I took him to emerg. dr said it's just an infected follicle, here's some pills. i said that doesn't make sense - look at how shiny the skin is around it: infected hair follicle isn't going to spread out that far.
      three days later, i had to get him back to emerg by ambulance because he could neither sit nor walk. this time, the third dr took him seriously and actually LOOKED at it, instead of giving it a quick glance. first thing he said was "that doesn't look right at all" and gave the "pimple" (the punctum, which now was about the size of my pinky nail and had turned from white to black/purple) a poke with a little blade. Stuff and Stink just erupted - just like from the hoof, but not as pressurized bec the hole was bigger, and containing way more blood. the dr immediately prepped him for surgery on the spot in the ER. he ended up being packed with about 9ft of infused gauze that had to be removed and repacked every few days for weeks while the abscess, which was about the size of my fist according to the dr, gradually closed in. it was just in time, because sepsis was starting to set in.

I have livestock myself and it's hard to tell if they are sick or in pain until they can't hide it anymore and by then, whatever it is is really REALLY bad. Cows, like goats, are preyed upon and so they will hide things to avoid appearing vulnerable. That's something a lot of folks don't realize. We don't neglect our critters. They just don't let us know that something is wrong until it's almost too late in some cases.

    Why would its owner let it get that bad? That poor girl was in pain and it probably ended costing a lot more if it were addressed much earlier.

      Sometimes the cows are out to pasture so the farmer doesn’t know until they bring them in for trimming

    • @emmetthowell899
      @emmetthowell899 Před dnem +1

      This cow probably wasn’t showing any signs of lameness until it got this bad so the farmer never noticed. Cows a prey animals which are very good at hiding any pain or illness because in the wild that gets you picked off. She might’ve been on pasture or softer ground and it was when she was brought onto the concrete that she started showing pain. It is not financial beneficial to let an animal get to this point. The farmer could either pay a little money to get the cows trimmed and have good product, or spend a lot more money on vet care in which they would not make good product (milk in this case) or really suffer economically if the animal needs to be put down because their condition is too far advanced. And even for a meat cow, if you put them down due to injury or illness a good farmer would not sell that meat (my uncle doesn’t)

  • @juliab3770

    I've seen something very similar on a horse. Ended up blowing out 1/3 of the outer hoof wall and potentially setting the horse up for euthanasia. The ending of the story was miraculous as a farrier and vet collaboration built an epoxy hoof wall over a membrane placed on the "raw" meat of the heel and hoof without the hoof wall. Yes the horse had to have the epoxy done every 6 weeks and was bedded in 12" bedding for 6 months. Knocking the horse out multiple times to make such repairs....can't calculate the vet, farrier bill. The horse remained on antibiotics 4-5 months and always required bute for pain relief. I still believe the animal was worth it.

    • @blackdandelion5549
      @blackdandelion5549 Před 2 měsíci +3

      I can say I had to do something similar and I had to bring my younger stud in for treatment where it was a collab with the farrier and the vet and x-rays and antibiotics and what they called a sterilized stall where he could only be in a bedded stall I kept ridiculously clean + soaking and it was over months and in total I spent close to $10,000 on his treatment. I remember when I was soaking his foot and I was feeling his feet for warmth and I massaged his legs and I ran my hand down to the coronary band and the top of the hoof and I felt it give under the hoof wall (this was after he was limping and the vet had me soaking his feet) and I knew it was going to blow out. 25 yrs with horses and hoof wall has never given under the pressure of my hand before. . . . .I knew it was bad.

    Love these videos. Scottish accents take me back to a happy time. And as a horse trainer & pro rider, I dealt with many a hoof every day, learned to trim our barefoot ponies & retirees. I know superior knife skills when I see them!!!
    I also know compassion for our animal friends when I see it.
    The odds of my ever again working w/hooved livestock are slim due to one too many injuries (riding jumpers & racehorses for 40+ years will do that), but if it happens, I'm ready. Honestly, j'adore these videos, now that I've recovered from learning that the bovine hoof has two "claws" ~ and inside these claws are toes which look, in an xray, like human fingers.

    • @thatonedog819

      ⁠dairy cows are usually milked twice a day and farmers are certainly checking on them multiple times a day. That's why most of his calls are to dairy farms - they get a lot more hands on attention than beef

      Cows will do their best to hide an injury -- survival instinct to keep predators from targeting them.

    • @computerworxx
      @computerworxx Před 2 měsíci +8

      You have to remember that this type of injury can be hidden underneath what looks like healthy hoof horn. Being herd animals, cows will hide any sort of weakness until it’s completely unbearable. This can mean that the caretaker may not catch an internal issue until it’s very advanced. It can also be hard to check a cow’s hooves unless you’re putting it in a crush, and you don’t want to do that if there’s nothing indicating a problem.
      External issues are a lot easier to find and monitor. Issues like this tend to fester until it gets to this point.

    • @threenorns3
      @threenorns3 Před 2 měsíci +4

      You're assuming that a) the farmer had the cow from calf instead of purchasing it recently and b) the cow lives in a sheltered barn instead of outdoors, where it's difficult to monitor them closely. the farmer absolutely will be calling the vet - it's more expensive to replace a cow than to pay for a vet call.

    And someone who raised various animals over the years I can tell you how quickly something to go from hey that cow seems to be limping something might be wrong with their foot to something like this. It's not the farmers or ranchers fault for not catching it sooner a lot of times especially when you have several head butt in situations like this it is really easy for something to get overlooked and it only it's not the farmers or ranchers fault for not catching it sooner a lot of times especially when you have several head but in situations like this it is really easy for something to get overlooked and it takes very little time for stuff to go sideways real quick but it is heartwarming to see individuals like yourself out here doing the hard work to make sure that these animals are as comfortable as they can in these situations
