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.
Not standing to the side out of the stream of pus is just a failure of common sense!
Yeah and he could have just stepped to the side
@@user-gx1wd9te8d True but the welfare of the cow was more important to him
you're a saint 🫶🏻
Out of all the videos I've watched of yours l gave never seen so much puss come shooting out..that must have given her so much relief..although l don't think the vet could do much..so l think the kindest thing maybe is the last act of kindness and put her out of pain..😢..
I think it's worth restating that YOU can't do anything because of the live tissue. That HAS to be done by a veterinarian. You've done all you can to make the situation as good as possible for the moment. Now it's up to the vet.
Good job reiterating what he said mate 👍🏽 very helpful to see this comment
G says all the time that he cannot work on live tissue; that has to be a vet. Somehow there are people who don’t hear him. Thanks for reminding folks to use their ears before they use their keyboards.
Thank you, because I was wondering if he meant that she cannot be helped at all, even if the vet takes a look.
Is it that unrealistic for a hoof guy to go get vet qualification as well? sounds like the 2 jobs would mesh well together
@DyonisX a while back he talked about his background and I gather it might have been difficult for him to pay for Vet schooling
I had an abscessed tooth that when pushed on,puss exploded all over the mirror....Lots of puss and infection. The amount of relieve was amazing...I can only imagine how this poor animal felt after the pressure was relieved...Nothing but joy I hope
Tooth pain is almost as bad as foot pain
I had one on the top of my front tooth and it ran up my face and eventually even my eyes were swollen shut almost fully and they had to take a scalpel and pop it. it was the worst 5 Seconds of pain in my life. they had to push the scalpel all the way up under my nose through my gums but after it was done I felt so much better
"That was hello in teenager" absolutely love it. Had to go back and replay that part. No idea why he is so shy :) This video is amazing. It is always fun when you are surprised by a find. As terrible as this is you have done so much for her by finding this and relieving pressure until the vet can see her. The farmers and cows should consider themselves the luckiest in the world to have you working with them.
That is my exact way of saying hello 😂 It’s awkward but usually it’s because my mind can’t decide between “What’s up” or “Hello” so you get a mumbled “Mhm- Hm.” 😂😂
When was this? I feel like I skipped it, but I want to hear it!
@@JP-pk6sc - Around 4:00
😢 Poor girl!! Can update what the vet does if possible? Thanks! You are a saint!!
Yes, I'm very curious to know what the vet will be able to do and whether he/she can do anything about the hard granulated tissue of her heel.
I would be very interested to see what the vet can do with that big defect/void in the coronary area, where there's live tissue... Poor mama cow; hope she feels lots better! All that putrescence must have just been excruciating, with the pressure inside. 😢
@@judew.5872 vet can lance and irrigate the void to clean it out better.
Yes please, a follow up vid would be great if possible!
Please can we have a follow up on this poor animal Be great to see how you and the vet work together to help them to get as well as possible
“That was hello in teenager” 😅 They’re the same on this side of the pond, too
hell yeah brother
Mine just grunt at me. 😆
In case anyone wishes to get “right down to it”, . 6:42 is essentially the very beginning of the part that most of you are probably looking forward to. I always appreciate when others include a timestamp in their comment(s), so here is one for you guys. More importantly, I’m so very glad that you were (probably) able to provide some relief for this poor cow. I hope she (or perhaps he) feels much better now.
Thank you 🫱🏻🫲🏼
That’s an unusual way to milk a cow
🤣🤣🤣💀
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.
wow, that sounds just TERRIBLE!! I'm glad you're doing ok now, sorry about your suffering!!
That story is similar to what happened to me when my appendix burst. I had more that 250 ml and I had just pushed throgh the pain for around a half month. Luckily i got to the hospital when I did.
Those stupid doctors should be sued. Sepsis is a killer.
Wow that's crazy glad they finally figured it out
We need an update from the vet. Thank goodness you were able to do something to help her.
Yes, please give us an update from the vet! Thanks for all and yor crew do, Graeme! ❤
Du you guys think he drank the puss? 🙈
More likely to be sold for beef than see the vet.
@@Deeeeeznuttttts Sad but true
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!
Im a retired nurse, and I love how clearly you explain what you're doing. I was a palliative care nuse, I appreciate your interest in keeping the cow comfortable.Also, say hey to the little person at the beginning of the video - Campbell!, and to the intrepid teen, Robbie, say "mryffl" We need a follow up!
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).
Wow! Thank you for your wisdom.
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.😳
You’re a vet?
@@kellimihalic116 or he just didn't know... you're not god
@@kellimihalic116 I mean, who knows? Cows are extremely good at hiding pain, to the point that they don't usually show any signs of it until the problem is advanced. Even the most attentive farmer is probably going to have a cow with a serious problem that might not be noticed until it's too late because of it.
That's heartbreaking 😢 I'm certain relieving that pressure made a substantial difference. I imagine she likely has horrendous bone pain as well. 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.
Well spoken! By the way - most animals hide sickness and pain because this is a deadly thing out in the wilderness …
😭
This is just awful Breaks my heart to see this but I bet the animal is suffering. Why did it take so long for this cow to get help did no one notice her foot being so huge?😢 God bless her and those who can help her!
Man I'm feeling queasy already, and I didn't even smell anything. Big props to your stomach. Also, poor girl. Hope that she'll get better.
Who let her get into this condition?
Yes !! how long has that poor love had that painful infection ?
You did
He usually talks about that the cows are well taken care of but in the same ways that a human can get sick even when we’re well taken care of then so can a cow
Hate to say it that smell aint going away anytime today, even after a long shower dont be shocked it you can still smell it (had this happen to me a few times when i was a vet nurse). You might not be able to fix the issue but you still brought her alot of relief so thats a win in my book 💖
One truly great way to use lemons....
How and why was she let to get into this condition, surely it doesn’t happen overnight?
@@grahamcarter3872 these aren't always easy to spot, cows are pray animals and so won't show signs of pain or weakness easily as that's a sure way to get picked off by predators, also it's surprising how quickly a infection like this can develope (have seen some abscesses literally come up over night or really bad ones come up in a few days, habe also seen some take a week or so to get bad so its not a exact science sadly)
@@grahamcarter3872to add to the other reply, depending on the farm, not every cow is seen every day or may be put to grass for months at a time
Not a vet or vet tech, but to get stubborn smells like that off I shower with 3 different soaps and shampoo twice, then wash my clothes with heavily scented detergent with disinfection liquid and scent booster beads.
Oh the poor lass the pain must have been terrible so glad you could at least relieve the pressure and hope we can have an update on her. Hope all you guy's have a great Easter.
Oh my goodness! Poor cow. She has had to be in so much pain and not feeling good. Thank you for doing all you can for her. Would love to know what the Vet said and did for her. God bless you all🐄💕💜💕🐄
The bulbous roundedness of the granulated compact area reflects that there had to be an inner liquid core. The fine stream of pus came from depth and the inner shoulder of the hoof horn might have been the originating point of liquid. Very well done HGP. ❤
Please give us an update and let us know what the vet says about her and if she can be fixed. Now you better get a shower or the Mrs. HGP will not let you in the house!!
I am sure Kevin will help with the hose! 😆
She passed away the farmer decided to to process her for dinner.
@@TedNahashow do you know this?
@@CynthiaNye.6005he doesn’t he made that up
This poor creature, at the very least, got relief. I'm hoping the farmer will have a Vet help her. Thx Graeme, Kevin, Robbie and a shout out to Craigie Boy ❤❤❤❤
What kind of farmer does let this happen in the first place? That poor creature was born as the wrong animal in the wrong place of earth.
@@luckueExactly
Since you said you can't heal is there a time you put the animal down and turned into beef?
Breaking a buckskin hourse
@@luckue He has a couple of locations that trade in dairy cows, and then a bought herd can have a few troubled cases (or sometimes even cases of true neglect, although often paired with a farmer that is in a bad spot mentally as well, often combined with in a bad spot financially).
This girl was not only neglected by her owner regarding her health situation but also about her nutrition. Thank you for taking care of her! I hope she gets the needed attention and be well soon.
I love watching your videos because you have so much compassion for the cows. Watching you trim and clean up the cow's hoof as much as you were able, I would really like to see her follow up visit when you go back. This was super intense and interesting.
Bless your heart for taking care of these girls, Graham!
That was rough. I can’t imagine how much better she must feel. Happy Easter everyone 🐣
Gesegnete Ostern auch Ihnen. 👋
Like wise 🐤🐥
Thanks for taking care of this lass. My dad was a farmer boy and I enjoy sharing these with him. It brings back memories of being at my grandfather's barn for Spring birthing, playing in the hay loft, fishing at the pond in the pasture field, and being afraid of the bull that attacked my grandfather's truck. Your videos are a blessing seeing these animals treated with such care. Thank you! Follow-up videos are good, so we can see the results.
I can see what a great job you are doing. It is satisfying to watch how you free the ungulates from suffering and restore their well-being. Your equipment and your expertise are impressive tools for mastering all this for these hard-working animals, for whom the owners obviously have far too little time available - without wanting to blame them. That is a different topic. But today, I would like to encourage YOU to put all the episodes of every one special cow, from the first shocking one to the last famous, when the healing is obviously finished, across all the necessary instances, the whole steps of the recovery process into a video so that the picture is complete. With respect, kind regards, be blessed :-)
I'm a qualified nurse so love all the puss and gore (not for the poor cows, bless them) and indeed ENJOY your very educational videos. Keep up the amazing work! Love from Newcastle Upon Tyne ❤
I’m a nurse too and these videos fascinate me!
Saaaaame! Nurses unite 👋🏻
That poor cow. She must have felt so much relief from the pressure being gone. Glad you were there to help her. Please update us.
That poor, sweet animal! Thank you for the kind love you are giving this girl to help release some pain…
Poor girl! I’m so glad at least you were able to give her some measure of relief. Would love an update after the vet sees her.
Fantastic video...I have had horses for 50 years a d have had plenty of foot issues. You do such a brilliant job not only for the cow but for the farmers. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦!
Please let us know how the cow is doing, and what the vet said. Thank you for your superb videos.
That poor cow! I hope she gets better soon. That has to be so painful. Glad she has people who care of her and help her ( you, your team, the farmer, and farm hands). Please keeps us updated on her recovery ❤️🩹
I swear I could smell that through my screen. You go through helping these Cows mate, hats off to you.
It warms my heart to see how gentle and how much you love those animals.
I was in tears. Thank you for being so kind and gentle. She is on my prayer list for healing. Your children are beautiful. Enjoy your work so much!!!!
How did her feet especially the right one get in that condition Granulation tissue doesn't develop overnight (at least not in humans so probably not different in a cow) you did a great job helping her & relieving her pain. I hope the farmer follows through with calling the Vet. No animal deserves to suffer partially those under human care. Your son is absolutely adorable and good on the video. You should include him in the videos as often as you can
I was wondering the same thing... I mean, I know the cows aren't likely to be checked on by the farmer every day, but, I'm curious about how it got that bad?
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.
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.
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.
My God!!!!! Your work is a blessing to the animals. You relieve suffering. It was very interesting for me to watch. Afterwards I found several articles for more detailed study
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
Poor girl. That was a massive amount of pressure you relieved. Hope a vet can come in and make sure that cavity doesn't continue to fester.
Poor thing! Please keep us updated on this ladies recovery!
I am both impressed and inspired by the amount of knowledge you have for cow's feet. The beginning when you go into so much detail what's going on and how the foot got that way; it's just so cool.
You are an absolute blessing to all the creatures that you care for. You treat each one as if they were your own child. What amazes me is that that cow was so calm and trusting that you were going to make her feel better. ❤
And this is why hoof trimmers farmers and vets working closely together is so important
The good thing is that the vet can watch your video and see what you found. 👍👏🙏🤞
👍👍
I think the vet can see in this case. Videos are good, but the vet isn't blind. Might want to watch out of curiosity, though.
Poor Baby ❤. So Thankful You Are There To Help The Cows 🙏. Western Upstate NY Here
I knew nothing about cows hoofs, except I didn’t want them to step on my foot, before happening upon you. What a fantastic find! Since I have watched other peoples videos and not finished or returned. Your attachment to your trade, compassion you show each cow, knowledge you leave with me every time I watch combined with an extremely likable personality which pours out (like a huge pus pocket you’ve just opened) sorry. …….You’re even willing to take one to the face on occasion! I think you said your dad mentored you, I wish you could put him on a 3D printer and turn out more fathers just like him! If your little ones decide to follow in your footsteps what a honor to be a part of the circle of life. Thanks and may you make comfortable 10,000 more. Lansing, Michigan USA
I'm glad you brought up the topic of Comfort Trimming, when physical alterations have made full healing impossible. That swollen heel bulb must be hard for the cow to deal with, but obviously people have been battling mightily trying to help. As you got a puss release, the guys seem to have moaned over how bad it smelled. You have talked about how built-up pressure causes extreme pain, so thanks for all your work.
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.
Sounds like a good life well lived.
THAT was horrible! Thank you for helping this poor cow.
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
Can’t imagine how painful that must have been. If it was one of us we’d be moaning or worse, but she was dealing with it in quiet stoicism. Poor, poor girl.
Farmer's probably given her painkillers too
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.
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.
Sometimes the question is "is it worth it for the animal?" I don't know on this case, because I don't know how it healed - but in all cases for all animals (and humans too), we need to ask those two questions
@foolishlyfoolhardy6004 the animal I referred to went on to live to 21 yrs, had a show career, then became a pasture pal for a blind horse and rode trails for years.
“Antibiotical” Mr. HGP you never cease to make me laugh!! Hopefully we get an update ! And healthy tidings to the lass. 🐮 ❤️
Great job, Graeme! I hope she is relieved, as she is walking better. Can she heal? What will happen to her? ♥️

I hope she gets more years to live as pain free as possible. I hope the vet can do something for her.
That poor dear girl. What you do for these cows is nothing short of amazing. Bless you for how you relieve their pain.
Poor thing! That must have been so terribly painful. As a nurse we used to have people come into our surgery office with abscesses and in extreme pain. They were so much more comfortable after having them lanced and drained. I can imagine how much better she feels.
This one takes the cake, my goodness that poor girl
That looks so painful!
Es sieht definitiv nicht nur so aus. Es IST schmerzhaft.
Hi Robin, good to see you today! What a wonderful crew you get to work with! Yes, I actually enjoy watching these videos and seeing how you are able to help the cows. Hopefully on your recheck with her she is doing absolutely fantastic!
Please give us an update, I’m praying for her to have a safe recovery!🙏🫡❤️
This poor sweet girl seems to be moving along reasonably well given how badly involved the foot is. Thank you for doing everything possible. Hopefully the vet can help, too. I think everyone who follows you appreciates not only your skills but your compassion.🙏👍
Thank you so much for what you did for her. I am so glad that the Vet will continue treating her and helping her to feel better and to continue to walk well in spite of her problem.
That poor baby. Looks like she's been suffering for a while. Thank you for making her feel better.❤
7:05 The thumbnail moment revealed. Drainage begins. 😢 Poor darling! I hope she felt much better over the next few days after so much release!
Poor cow. She's lucky to have you there to help her. I wonder if there is anyway possible that you can be there with the vet and film the treatment? I would love that. Thank you, for the hard work and the heart you have for these animals.
Poor baby!! Thank you for helping her feel better. I hope the vet can give her some help also.
Poor honey... thank you for looking out for her. I hope she gets the help she so desperately needs.
Why are your videos so fascinating? Here I am eating dinner in the Pacific Northwest watching you doing what you love. Do cows have a stronger immune system relative to humans? I can only imagine what they step in on a daily basis. I've spent some time in rural Scotland. Good people. Treated me like family.
Can't begin to imagine the pain this poor cow was feeling, hopefully with the pressure relieved she's now feeling more comfortable. 🐮
Lovely to see you doing a great job for this poor cow!! You’ve at least helped her some, hopefully the vet will be able to fix her up!
Hi, thank you for spending the time to make these KZhead videos. Helping to heal sick cattle by being a hoof doctor is in my humble opinion an amazing job. I was watching this, and I keep thinking, do you ever drain abscess with needles when there is no more hoof to trim? What will happen to that cavity at the end of the video? Will it turn solid eventually?, could have injecting that cavity with antibiotics, and then wrapping it possibly be an option? Because further infections are skin deep, and it could lead to infections that could travel up the cows leg right?? I know there are some really nicely priced portable ultrasound devices that work directly with your smart phone, or they can also come with a smartphone hand held device. Isn't that cool? What could have a quick scan turned up regarding how you would have started working? Personally I think a portable ultrasound would be a really, really cool addition to your awesome show. I think it would make your hoof doctoring even more exciting, because we could see if the infection was above trimming territory. Keep up the good work doctor!
Oh that poor girl! If her hoof can’t be repaired (healed) would she need to be put down? Thank you for taking such good care of her🐄
Wow Graeme, sound effects even with that one. That is true love of your job, squeezing the infection right at yourself for the good of the cow. I know its a different problem, but just the horrible look of that hoof gave me flashbacks of our old mascot Gracie & how bad her hoof looked. So thankful for you & the guys, Graeme. Thanks for having such "cowpassion" for these sweet animals. Getting excited for my "HERD" shirt, I can hardly wait! Happy Easter everyone. 💚 🐄 🧡 🐂 💚
I just love your videos. ❤! They are my „evening companions“ 😊! Sometimes I can even catch „a whiff of the smell of manure“, for I grew up on a farm in Germany and your videos bring back good memories and the „smell of it all“ 😂! Sending you all much love from Germany and keep up the great work and your wonderful humor ! 🙋🏻♀️❤️
Weird thing that helps clear out infections like this in an emergency - a vacuum. Slap an Inflation Nozzle on the suction end of a small shopvac and apply for just a second at a time by placing the tip against the surface just next to the wound and sliding it over the wound to the other side. One second of Negative pressure is instant debridement. Repeat. Then you keep the suction close as you flush with saline and repeat. It also helps tremendously with the smell of an abscess or rot.
It would be fantastic if when the vet comes you could video him doing his thing too see how you work together . Plus I love seeing videos where infections get cleaned and drained.
Yes, please give us an update after the vet gets there. Just reference the cow with the infected pus-filled heel. But at least she must have felt sooo much better after you drained the heel and squirted in the topical antibiotic. God bless you and your family Graeme and Happy Easter. ✝️
The relief you gave that poor cow by just releasing that pressure is immense. Anyone who has had a bad abscess and then felt what it was like when that abscess drained knows exactly how much better that poor girl felt. Hopefully the vet can really get to work on that hoof and make her good as new.
If they even call a vet. They already let her suffer this long. They had to have seen her limping for some time. This is neglect.
This is so very sad? How could something get this bad? The sweet girl is soooo lucky to have you helping her!! Please please keep us updated on how she is doing
Wow, so glad you were able to open that up, hopefully it relieved some pressure and eased the pain she must’ve been feeling. Great job
OMG this poor cow. Thank goodness you help & hopefully the vet can finish helping her. All you guys are great!!
Happy Easter! THAT nephew is getting so tall. Thanks for taking wonderful care of the cows.
Plus, that nephew speaks fluent teenager. Good lad.
You did a really good job. She looked so much better when she walked away! That vet should have nothing but good things to say about the way you are taking care of this farmer's milk cows. Again, great job. I hate to see animals in pain.
You and your team are good hearted folks. To see you help these animals is just a nice thing to do and watch.
You’re an absolute legend mate. And it shows just how much you care about the cows and animals you help.
Oh my that poor momma was in a world of hurt praying she's on the road to recovery 💖
Relieving that pressure must've felt so good, you do such a good job, true professional taking the pus to the face and still caring for the hoof
Bless her! Poor thing! Please update us on this one. My heart just breaks for her.
Oh my goodness, when I saw the thumbnail I thought there was something sticking into the foot. I didn't realize it was a pressurized stream. I hope that she starts to do well, I'm astounded that she was walking on that for so long.
I would love to see a video of the vet's treatment, if you know them. The cow didn't seem to have a bad reaction to the squeezing. Did she have a reaction we didn't see?
Ive had a couple abcesses drained, and the pressure from the fluid in there hurt so bad already that it actually felt BETTER as it drained. Even the lidocaine cant get rid of the pressure feeling, so that was all I COULD feel. Though of course human thighs and cow hooves are different lol.
I would love to see a video of the vet's treatment also!
THAT would be awesome!!!
Thank you so much for doing all you can to help this sweet girl, but I just love how happy Robbie looks !!!
Please can we get an update? Thank you for relieving her pain. I cant even imagine how much she was in.
Hope you will do a follow up to this cow. Interested in what the vet says and the future.
What an angel to help these cows!!!! I cant believe all the squirting and discharge. U r the best❤❤❤
O that poor girl :( , such a heartbreaking situation seeing things like this. i hope you realize just how much of a blessing you are for these cows
“That was hello in teenager.” Lol 😂 truth!
I think we need to see more of Robbie!
