True story - today, I had to take a family member to a podiatrist (foot doctor) because she had a large boil on her foot. The doctor did THE EXACT SAME THING Nate does here, and as the doctor did her thing, I just imagined Nate narrating the whole thing. Draining the boil, trimming up around the edges for detached material, antibiotic, wrap! It puts these hoof trimmings in a whole new light. These cows are strong as hell for going through an injury like this with minimal complaint.
@@TheCrusher72 And, more predictable, drive away those of us who live in a world without music all the time who enjoy life without artificial stimulants, who enjoy hearing the cows moo, the trimmers breathing, grunts and groans, the herd sounds, an occasional rooster crow, or bird chirp, or dog bark, with farm equipment in the distance, the rejoicing sounds of farmlife many of us love. 🚜🐄🐓🐕
I did wonder for a minute there, Nate, if you were Rick rolling us. Good job on this one. It's a good thing this girl had an experienced trimmer looking over her tootsies.
😊 from a old farm boy from the 50-s and 60-s , you are easy to understand and I can tell you know what you should do to make those cows feel better, also checking on the cow to see how she is healing.
I haven't watched in a minute but you finally came across my feed again! Honestly such good timing as i have a racing mind that won't calm. Watching your videos are so soothing it helps me sleep!
Hi Nate.I have watched a lot of hoof trimming videos and you are the best for your knowledge,treatment and how you really provide good care of these Cows.
QUESTION? When you first started I saw a little black dot in the middle of what turned out to be the damaged corium. For the FIRST TIME I was right, YAHOO(luck). I also saw red dots on the opposite claw and I am wondering how you knew that there was no problem there?
My kids are going to think I'm nuts when I tell them I was binge watching you while their dad is gone for a few days. LOL. I think I'm addicted to the feel good at the end of each video. Great learning experience. Who knew?
It’s 2:00 on 1/30/24. As a subscriber, I love your channel. Your videos give me something great to watch during my chemotherapy visits. Thank you so much!
I always enjoy a surprise Nate video. Do the farmers ever give up on a cow with hard to treat conditions? I would hope they really care about the cows if they're paying you to come do trims.
Me, around the 2:15 timepoint: "He's trying to pull a fast one on us, and there's actually nothing wrong at all." Five seconds later . . . Nate: "Now by this point, I'll bet you're thinking, 'He's trying to pull a fast one on us, right, and there's actually nothing wrong at all'." Me: 😲
Your level of compassion for the pain and suffering of these animals says a lot about you as a person. It’s almost like you know how to relieve her pain and that is the area you start in. In my head I hear their sigh of relief when you open the wound and let it drain.
Looks like there was a tiny puncture originally that got packed in by the small rocks... Once the bacteria set in I guess it was hard to get past the rocks but still vented enough not to go out the back end, so things just festered ...
Glad I stayed around for the big reveal. What may have caused that small opening? Wire? Something else? Like to know what you think when we revisit this trim in a couple of weeks.
@rebeccac I work in vet medicine. Dogs and cats, not livestock. Clean healthy wounds dont usually smell bad. They have a definite "biological" (kind of smells wet, sweet and metallic at the same time) odor, but not a bad one. But, geez yeah. I have smelled abcess, devascularized tissue and infected lesions before in pets. Its...not pleasant. I cant imagine how much worse it would be with all the cow dung and dirt packed up in that hoof. I always wonder if digital dermatitis has a smell, too. I had to do a couple weeks of livestock care in school, but as I was going into companion animal medicine it was very perfunctory and I didnt see hoof trimming or digital dermatitis (there was a seperate program for people going into livestock medicine that was much more focused). I have to say, wasnt a fan of all the smells, muck and dirt involved in livestock care. I mean, unpleasant smells are normal in medicine and you get used to it. But livestock medicine is another whole level.
I absolutely love your videos! I wouldn't be able to use the Chlorhexidine spray. I'm allergic to it. I have a Power Port Catheter in my chest that is supposed to be washed with Chlorhexidine but I get really BIG BAD hives! Instead I would have to use Iodine to clean the hooves!
I’m sure this has been asked and maybe answered many times before so I apologize, but I have been watching for awhile and don’t recall you mentioning this before, at least not on the videos I’ve seen: how do you know when you’ve removed enough horn around the wounded area? How do you know when to stop or that there isn’t more damaged corium under the horn that’s left?
Very relaxing and educative vid, as always, thanks! Was a little disappointed tho, I hoped your surprising find would have been the door to Narnia, a live hamster or at least all the socks that were lost in the washing machines. Alas.😂
