Full transcript

1. 0:02hello everyone and welcome back to nate
2. 0:04the hoof guy on today's video we've got
3. 0:06a cow who doesn't want to put any weight
4. 0:09on her right front foot
5. 0:11so let's get this foot picked up see if
6. 0:13we can figure out where the problem is
7. 0:24now the first thing i notice when i pick
8. 0:25this foot up is this swollen inside claw
9. 0:29that is going to be where the source of
10. 0:30the problem is now the first thing you
11. 0:32probably noticed when i picked that foot
12. 0:34up was all of that straw and debris
13. 0:36packed into the bottom of it that is
14. 0:38actually from the pen behind me we put
15. 0:41this straw and sawed us down some other
16. 0:43places just to dry the feet out make
17. 0:46sure it's a nice dry environment so the
18. 0:47cows don't slip coming into the chute
19. 0:49and that's why it's on the feet but
20. 0:51we're gonna get that cleaned off now so
21. 0:53you get a better look exactly where this
22. 0:54problem lies
23. 1:06now that we've got that straw removed we
24. 1:08can see where that problem lies so let's
25. 1:10get into this trim
26. 1:39so i've been asked to explain where the
27. 1:41white line in the claw is a little bit
28. 1:42clearer so i'm going to do that now with
29. 1:44the sharpie it's this gray line actually
30. 1:47that extends all the way along the toe
31. 1:48and then up that inside wall as well
32. 1:51now this defect right here notice where
33. 1:53it is right now i'm going to put a mark
34. 1:54on the sole showing where the top of
35. 1:57that defective mark is in the sole right
36. 1:59now that is actually not where the
37. 2:01lesion is the lesion is going to be much
38. 2:02higher than that
39. 2:04but this is going to help us
40. 2:06explain how these form they form from
41. 2:08the inside and it's going to be obvious
42. 2:10once we get to work on this
43. 2:12now when a cow doesn't want to put
44. 2:13weight on a foot it's usually because
45. 2:15there's pressure built up inside that
46. 2:17claw and that's what you're going to see
47. 2:19right now
48. 2:28i think we can all imagine the relief
49. 2:30this must bring
50. 2:40now we need to find the source but pay
51. 2:42attention to that mark that i drew on
52. 2:44the sole of that claw
53. 2:46that is was marking the top edge of that
54. 2:49imperfection in the soul but that's not
55. 2:52where the lesion is going to be it's
56. 2:53actually going to be higher we're going
57. 2:54to uncover that now
58. 3:18notice the relationship of those two
59. 3:20marks now and we're not done yet
60. 3:56now look where that mark is and that's
61. 3:58where we're first encountering corium
62. 4:00disturbance
63. 4:01now what's the significance of this
64. 4:02whole thing that i'm trying to point out
65. 4:04here it's that these
66. 4:06defects actually start from the inside
67. 4:09of the foot not from the outside in what
68. 4:11happens is as that foot is growing
69. 4:13something happens where that white line
70. 4:15doesn't form correctly it doesn't attach
71. 4:17that sole and that outside wall
72. 4:19correctly so we end up with a void there
73. 4:22slight imperfection
74. 4:24a perforation in that white line and
75. 4:26ultimately when that foot grows out all
76. 4:29the way
77. 4:30and that crack becomes
78. 4:32exposed to the outer elements that's
79. 4:34what allows the bacteria to get into
80. 4:36that claw and ultimately infect that
81. 4:38corium and this is kind of evidence of
82. 4:40that you can see how that mark when we
83. 4:42first started was way down the foot
84. 4:44there was no other imperfections in that
85. 4:46sole whatsoever except way down there
86. 4:49and then ultimately we've got an area
87. 4:51here that opens up way up higher than
88. 4:53that
89. 4:54just showing that that is starting from
90. 4:56a grow point inside the foot as that
91. 4:58foot grows out that mark is going to
92. 5:00work its way down toward the toe and
93. 5:02that's what we're seeing here
94. 5:22now this is your first experience with a
95. 5:24hoof trimming video what i'm going to do
96. 5:25now is i'm going to clean up this other
97. 5:27claw i'm going to glue a rubber block to
98. 5:29that claw and what that's going to do
99. 5:31it's going to elevate that injured claw
100. 5:33off the ground it's going to allow her
101. 5:34to put all of that weight on that good
102. 5:36claw giving that injured claw time to
103. 5:38rest and they recuperate
104. 5:42the white powder that i'm applying now
105. 5:44is called salicylic acid that's just
106. 5:46going to help prevent any bacteria from
107. 5:48colonizing in that area make sure we get
108. 5:50a nice speedy recovery with this foot
109. 5:52i'm going to put a wrap on that to hold
110. 5:53that in place
111. 5:55and this girl is ready to go
112. 5:57if you want to follow along and see how
