1. 0:07all right guys welcome back to Nate the
2. 0:09hoof guy on today's video we are looking
3. 0:11at a cow who's heavily favoring her left
4. 0:14front foot
5. 0:16if we take a look at that hoof as she's
6. 0:18standing we can see we've got a little
7. 0:20bit of curvature on that inside claw
8. 0:22that medial claw and the heel on that
9. 0:24lateral is deeper so we've got some
10. 0:25imbalance there this area right here is
11. 0:28likely where this discomfort is coming
12. 0:30from so that's the area we're going to
13. 0:31address but first let's get this trim
14. 0:33underway as I mentioned that lateral
15. 0:36Claw is higher in the heel so we're
16. 0:38going to bring that down and it's the
17. 0:39inside part of this medial claw that's
18. 0:42higher so we're going to take that down
19. 0:44when we trim it that's going to bounce
20. 0:45this foot back out again
21. 1:13now that I've got that trimmed up this
22. 1:15problem area becomes pretty obvious now
23. 1:17your eyes might be drawn to this lateral
24. 1:19claw in the area that I'm trimming right
25. 1:20now how do I know that that's not
26. 1:22problematic that's all that spot right
27. 1:25there is almost never a problem all it
28. 1:27is is just a spot where that axial wall
29. 1:29meets the sole there kind of opens up
30. 1:31and traps debris so that's why we clean
31. 1:33that out this area right here this is
32. 1:35where we're going to find the issue
33. 1:40I'm using my grinder right here to try
34. 1:42to thin this area down a little bit I
35. 1:43know where the problem is going to be so
36. 1:45I'm going to thin that area down it
37. 1:46makes my knife work that much easier you
38. 1:49can see I'm taking a big area here and
39. 1:51you might wonder why are you cutting out
40. 1:52such a big area when you don't know
41. 1:54necessarily what's going on but I kind
42. 1:56of do I know there's going to be a big
43. 1:57area of Separation under here I can tell
44. 2:00that there's pressure in this claw right
45. 2:01now and you're going to see that here
46. 2:03very soon
47. 2:13a lot of the discomfort associated with
48. 2:15these problems comes from that built up
49. 2:17pressure that you saw right there now
50. 2:19that we've got that relieved she's going
51. 2:20to feel better almost instantly
52. 2:28but of course our work is not done here
53. 2:30we need to free this area of Louisville
54. 2:32foreign
55. 2:38here's where the design of our hoof
56. 2:40knives come in handy we can use that
57. 2:42hook to carefully lift that sole away as
58. 2:44we make this cut
59. 2:51a couple interesting things to take note
60. 2:52of here you can see how tight this area
61. 2:55of separation is held to the aquarium
62. 2:57hasn't lifted away much yet which makes
63. 2:59it a little more difficult to remove but
64. 3:01we work through it another thing is to
65. 3:03take note of is how deep this sole is I
66. 3:05get a lot of questions about how deep is
67. 3:07that Soul how thick is the sole on a
68. 3:09cow's foot well you can get a good view
69. 3:10of it with this particular angle you can
70. 3:12see we've got almost close to three
71. 3:14quarters of an inch of soil left on here
72. 3:15which I'm going to bring down a little
73. 3:17bit because we're going to be putting a
74. 3:18block on that other claw to take the
75. 3:20pressure off of this one
76. 3:24Next Step here is I use this abrasive
77. 3:27disc just to rough that sole up a little
78. 3:28bit helps with my glue adhesion
79. 4:00another question I get all the time is
80. 4:02is how much chlorhexidine do you go
81. 4:05through in a month because yes I do use
82. 4:07a lot when I clean these areas up
83. 4:08however I don't really treat that many
84. 4:11problems so it's not going to be that
85. 4:13much I actually go through about a
86. 4:15gallon a month in total
87. 4:27now that we've got this area cleared of
88. 4:28loose horn it's time for one final clean
89. 4:31down and then we're going to apply a
90. 4:33salicylic acid wrap to help take care of
91. 4:35the rest
92. 4:40the salicylic acid is going to serve
93. 4:42three functions here number one it's
94. 4:44going to help clear up any more bacteria
95. 4:45that might possibly be there number two
96. 4:47it's going to help exfoliate that area
97. 4:49and number three May provide some pain
98. 4:52relief to this area as well
99. 5:10now that we've got this wrapped up we'll
100. 5:12just clean up this excess glue with our
101. 5:13grinder we'll put this foot down and see
102. 5:15how she likes sanding on it now
103. 5:28now some cows they like to have their
104. 5:30heads scratched this one does not in
105. 5:34fact she's saying you're done
106. 5:37you're done and she is correct we are
107. 5:40done as always thanks for watching and
108. 5:43we will see you all
109. 5:44on the next one
