This lovely little grey cow had a small little pocket of good stuff, just under the skin. Rather than let it burst out on its own, we helped it along. She should be right as rain now!
Poor girl. I'm sure she was super uncomfortable. Not saying that as a knock against Enoch, he clearly cares for the animals a great deal. More of a case that sometimes you have to make yourself or the animal uncomfortable for a very brief period so they can get long term relief. I'm 100% certain she's feeling better now that she's gotten that treated!
@@erintoal2018Not even really that much pain. She just didn't like him messing with her head. The little sting from the scalpel felt like something to headbutt away, and her head was restrained, and *that* is when she got upset.
I remember watching a video about an abscess on a cat and they were saying Numbing agents don't work on absecess apparently. So something like lidocaine wouldn't help. Absecess are acidic if I remember correctly. What hurts is the pressure. Not a vet and I watched that video a while ago.
"What beautiful eyes you have"! This lovely cow stole my heart with those captivating and soulful eyes. What a stunning lady bovine!! Bet all the bulls will be crashing on her!💛💛
This kind man is "easy on his patients" and very "Easy on the eyes"! I would have to find a reason for a vet visit several times a week! And his bodacious sense of humor only adds to his appeal!
Seriously I love how he cuts open the abscess, massages it a little bit and then starts talking about the jawbone and puts that same hand and fingers in his mouth to answer their question. I literally laughed out loud at that. He is one hell of a doctor. I will give him that though.
You are a wonderful veterinarian and show great compassion to your patients. I also think is good how you are with your fellow veterinarians. I greatly enjoy your videos. 😊
Enoch: what do you think, love? You're alright Cow: that's not the point, Eff you! 😅😂 The cow was of course uncomfortable but I have the suspicion she was also moody and being over-dramatic.
How do you tell the difference between panic and pain in a situation like this? At what point does a pain response become a red flag for (potentially) something medically worse than an abscess going on with an animal? She’s reacting more strongly than other cows you’ve shown to a treatment that’s extremely routine. Is that just her temperament or is that jaw a particularly sensitive spot?
The skin over abscesses are generally numbed out due to distention, and there isn’t really anywhere to deposit local effectively. If local is attempted, often it results in offending the patient just as much, and to be effective it needs time to work. Cows don’t like being restrained and generally dislike any work up near their head, so we work pretty quickly normally. I had 9 vet students with me, so I took a lot longer than normal to do this procedure and as soon as she realized I was “doing something”, she let me know her displeasure! So, in a nut shell, I don’t believe her little lump was anything too sinister, and her response was mostly due to displeasure at my proximity than excessive pain. Thank you for asking! Cheers!
I don’t care what anyone says,but that poor girl felt him stab it!You could tell in her beller that she was in pain.She just kept getting louder and longer the more he messes with it.
First it’s a cow, second no surgery is without pain, third she’s pregnant and probably can’t have too many meds because it’ll affect the calf, fourth it’s a little pain now to save from a ton of pain later. Lastly: She’ll be steak soon enough.
Watch some people having abscesses drained. Sure, doc numbs it, you don’t feel the cut, but when the squeezing starts there is pain. I’ve seen people with tears running.
Well, she certainly SOUNDED like she was in pain - are these particular cows not acclimated to humans? I must admit it's hard to remember/believe what you've said about the skin over an abscess when a cow kicks up such a fuss! I guess every species has their drama queens. Also, what type of cows are these? They're STUNNING. Those coats look like they'd be soft as velvet, and their eyes are so dark and clear. So pretty! I do wish you had a microphone - sometimes you're too far from the camera or the wind has kicked up a bunch and it's hard to hear what you're teaching.
You can't tell me she didn't feel that. For a cow to scream out in pain like that says a lot. Perhaps a topical numbing cream would help reduce that pain to a more bearable level
It is a ripper to work out of actually, there are two boxes out of 8 that you have to pull the adjacent box, but I don’t go into them often. Wait for a full video, it is fully sick to work out of I promise! Cheers!
God damn!! Thats GOTTA hurt! For her to be jumpin' around and bouncin' n yellin' the way she is ... Gotta hurt. Poor girl 🥺smh💔 She'll be alrite soon tho😉 Im glad im not in her hooves! I cant do pain lol i tap out qwik! Baltimore Maryland USA🇺🇸😁
Don't tell me that didn't hurt her. You can't just cut and say it's like us popping a pimple. They have a nervous system just like us and feel pain, grieving, happiness and love for their calves.
Do to where he cut anesthesia would not work well. Trying to anesthetize it could cause harm to the provider and the animal. Their nervous system not just like a humans.
Cant believe he was squeezing pus out with the very same hand he then shoved in his own mouth at 5.22. I grew up on a farm so hands in mouth was definitely something you learned to avoid.🤢
I use gallons of lignocaine annually and always when appropriate, but it isn’t really appropriate for lancing abscesses for a host of reasons which I have covered off on previously.
Not sure I enjoy all the people standing around giggling and laughing at the poor frightened cow as she screams in discomfort. Somehow some freezing might be in order, and a more serious audience.
Life is too short to be serious when we spend all day every day working with cows. They sense the mood of the people around them. Laughter is their best medicine! Cheers!
