Acrinobacillus lignersii… woody tongue! A mean little bug that affects cow’s tongues making them impossible to retract. Luckily responds really well to Sodium Iodide, Oxytet, and Meloxicam!
I really enjoy watching you and your students BUT please!!!!! get a better wind proof microphone! I know everything costs $$$ but would sure like to understand what you’re all saying
Kewl vid as always. Ty mate. Small suggestion, cheap fix to ut out wind noise on video. Tape a bit of gauze over the mic hole on the camera. Not perfect but will make a +ve diff. Keep on rock'n Enoch. :-)
Glad to know she's gotten better, so thanks for the edit at the end of video. Also, sadly, if people can't understand y'all talking, (the wind really is very annoying) your viewership may drop. And I thought only TX has constant wind LoL The woody tongue was a new one for me.
For I like animals, love animal so much for am a farm country girl..... Watching your videos in action with great instructions to Ur student aspiring audience, video watching am enjoying it so much, it kinda a HUGE 'wowwwww, awesome, great vet doctor Ur!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Ur job profession sir!!!!
Make FOR SURE you give the sodium iodide IV. The old joke I've always heard since I was knee- high to a short sheep was that giving it any way other than IV was what made the cow jump over the moon. Recall the Mother Goose nursery rhyme, Hey Diddle Diddle...
I think it is in the description. It is a specific pathogen called Actinobacillis lignersii which paralyzes the tongue and hardens it. Luckily it responds really well to Sodium Iodide and Oxytetracycline!
Contrary to what we see on TV, it's not particularly important in humans either. It does mean that the dosage isn't quite right, though, which has a bigger effect with the small doses, given to humans.
Why wouldn’t you give iv fluids she obviously can’t eat or drink. Waiting “days”for her tongue to go down to the point she can eat and drink seems harsh.
Many times warts will resolve once the animal's immune system becomes aware of them. You can try crushing some of the warts to make him recognize them. If his are severe, he could be immune compromised. A course of antibiotics would not hurt. Hope this helps!
