Full transcript

1. 0:00so here's a cab that's been on the town
2. 0:01before and all of you guys were really
3. 0:03concerned about and in particular
4. 0:05concerned about breathing weather and
5. 0:07actually why did chop off part of her
6. 0:09body so let's see what this cab is all
7. 0:11about this is their GP
8. 0:14[Music]
9. 0:15when I see
10. 0:21[Applause]
11. 0:23[Music]
12. 0:24falling to you
13. 0:29normal
14. 0:35[Music]
15. 0:43hey Craig patience so this cow has a
16. 0:49case of polydactyly and that's basically
17. 0:52when a cow or an animal grows an extra
18. 0:54digit or part of a lemon whether it
19. 0:56really shouldn't be growing in this
20. 0:58particular case means that she has an
21. 1:00extra claw on her front right foot in
22. 1:02the comments of the previous video she
23. 1:04featured and there were many many many
24. 1:06of you that said why not just chop off
25. 1:09that extra claw well actually that is
26. 1:11the point of this video and I want to
27. 1:13show you exactly why we don't do that
28. 1:14and why it's okay that we don't do that
29. 1:16but before explaining that let's get our
30. 1:18trimmed up and get our feeling more
31. 1:20comfortable
32. 1:21[Music]
33. 1:32so I've actually trimmed this cow four
34. 1:34or five times and Adrienne the manager
35. 1:36of this facility has actually turned her
36. 1:38probably around the same amount of times
37. 1:40every so often she starts to show signs
38. 1:43of becoming uncomfortable so we put her
39. 1:45in the crush we trim those two main
40. 1:47digits just like you would a normal cow
41. 1:49and we apply a block to the outer claw
42. 1:51usually and the first signs of any
43. 1:53discomfort this cow would have been
44. 1:54trimmed but she's actually just carved
45. 1:56and we didn't want to turn her up too
46. 1:58close to giving birth because sometimes
47. 2:00that could lead to some real upset
48. 2:03having a third digit isn't necessarily a
49. 2:06real issue for this cow the only
50. 2:08problems arise because that third digit
51. 2:10actually causes lateral movement or
52. 2:12side-to-side motion on the metal claw
53. 2:15and that causes problems in her white
54. 2:16line so you can see me peering away and
55. 2:19trying to move as much of those cracks
56. 2:21away as possible when I'm trimming the
57. 2:24extra digit I need to be exceptionally
58. 2:26careful because it's not a normal cows
59. 2:28hoof so it will not fall within the
60. 2:30usual parameters so instead I'm going by
61. 2:33that path that white powdery substance
62. 2:35that is where the horn would naturally
63. 2:37shed off so I'm removing all of the horn
64. 2:40until the pith disappears and that way I
65. 2:42can be sure that I don't enjoy this cow
66. 2:45in any way
67. 2:51[Music]
68. 3:01so let's talk about why as a vet
69. 3:04couldn't just simply chop off that extra
70. 3:06digit well if you see me moving that
71. 3:09digit around laterally you'll see that
72. 3:11it isn't just a growth it's a fully
73. 3:13formed and fully functional hoof with
74. 3:16all of the internal anatomy that the
75. 3:18other two hooves have including bones
76. 3:20veins and ligaments so to remove it
77. 3:23would be an incredibly complicated
78. 3:25procedure which would lead to a very
79. 3:27high risk of infection for this cow
80. 3:30which could and very often does lead to
81. 3:32the ultimate demise of a cow which
82. 3:35undergoes an operation like that so
83. 3:37enough of the chat let's crack on and
84. 3:39make sure her other three feet are in
85. 3:41perfect condition
86. 3:42[Music]
87. 3:44I'm stole the ground
88. 3:47[Music]
89. 4:01the street
90. 4:03[Music]
91. 4:10hi
92. 4:13on a single story we had a mission
93. 4:23we had a play
94. 4:26tiny changes can be hard to understand
95. 4:31my heart
96. 4:36[Music]
97. 4:39so a she steps out of the crush it's
98. 4:41clear that she's uncomfortable and
99. 4:43walking awkwardly on that food that's
100. 4:45because she's got that new block on her
101. 4:47outer cloth which is quite a real thing
102. 4:49for a cow actually but I can assure you
103. 4:51from experience selling this cow in the
104. 4:53past that she'll be walking near
105. 4:55perfectly on our next as it when we'll
106. 4:58catch up there
