8. 0:28so we first send this cow about three
9. 0:30weeks ago
10. 0:31and she had an incredibly sore back left
11. 0:34foot there's a little bit of backstory
12. 0:35to this one and we weren't actually
13. 0:36filming this day but i did have my
14. 0:38camera phone on me so i filmed a little
15. 0:40bit
16. 0:40of what turned out to be much more
17. 0:43serious than i first thought
18. 0:44this is the cow's food as it was three
19. 0:47weeks ago so this cow was bought in from
20. 0:49another farm and when she arrived she
21. 0:50was extremely
22. 0:51lame and she already had a block on her
23. 0:54foot so
24. 0:55our protocol if we find a cow with a
25. 0:57block on its foot
26. 0:58and somebody else has trimmed it the
27. 1:00first thing we do is remove
28. 1:01that block now the problem with this cow
29. 1:03was whoever had trimmed it in the past
30. 1:05be a professional hoof trimmer a bet or
31. 1:07the farmer himself
32. 1:08had put the block on the wrong foot
33. 1:12and once we removed the wooden block
34. 1:14what was underneath it as you can see it
35. 1:16was extremely
36. 1:17bad we actually ended up pulling the
37. 1:19bone out of her foot
38. 1:21not snapping not detaching not
39. 1:24cutting it off just picking it up and
40. 1:27removing it so as you can imagine this
41. 1:28cow was an
42. 1:29excruciating pain so it was actually
43. 1:32four weeks ago not three that we visited
44. 1:35this cow and when we picked it up
45. 1:36she had a wooden block on the inner claw
46. 1:38and as i said previously we removed it
47. 1:40straight away and underneath
48. 1:42this is what we found so straight away
49. 1:44we applied
50. 1:45that block to the outer claw in a bed to
51. 1:48take off the weight
52. 1:49that is the pedal bone which we removed
53. 1:51from her foot
54. 1:53and as you can see it just fell apart
55. 1:55it's completely disintegrated
56. 1:57after the trim it really didn't look
57. 1:59pretty
58. 2:00but i was slightly hopeful we doused it
59. 2:03with iodine
60. 2:04and we wrapped it with salicylic acid
61. 2:07that wrap stayed on for four days
62. 2:09and then we were due to return four
63. 2:11weeks later so this cow came mentis
64. 2:13and as you've just seen i pulled the
65. 2:15bone out of her back foot
66. 2:17the block was actually on top of the
67. 2:19sore foot so whoever's trimmed this
68. 2:20before has made a mistake
69. 2:22maybe not been trained problem and
70. 2:23trying to help this car and actually put
71. 2:25the block on top of the sore foot which
72. 2:26has compounded the problem
73. 2:29and has turned into something that's
74. 2:31fairly irreversible but hopefully we can
75. 2:33make her much much more comfortable
76. 2:35i'll say hopefully we've definitely made
77. 2:36it more comfortable but i mean
78. 2:38long term so we've wrapped it with
79. 2:40salicylic acid and we're going to return
80. 2:42in two weeks time which is when you'll
81. 2:43be seeing this video
82. 2:45how nice nature does she
83. 2:48956.
84. 3:00come on go on
85. 3:07i know you guys didn't see her before
86. 3:09she went into the car so you're just
87. 3:11gonna have to take my word for it
88. 3:12but she was barely touching the ground
89. 3:14without it and it's not that i've done
90. 3:16anything that special i've just removed
91. 3:17the block
92. 3:18from the sore foot and put it onto the
93. 3:20good foot in other words i've taken all
94. 3:22of the pressure off the sore point
95. 3:24and put all of the pressure onto the
96. 3:25part that isn't sore at all
97. 3:32she's looking much much better today so
98. 3:34i'm looking forward to getting her in
99. 3:35the crush and seeing what condition her
100. 3:37foot is in right now
101. 3:38i really don't expect it to have made a
102. 3:40huge amount of progress
103. 3:41but she is far more comfortable than she
104. 3:43was when we first saw her
105. 3:44and that is the role of us as
106. 3:46professional catalytic plumbers
107. 3:48we functionally hoof trim cows in other
108. 3:51words
109. 3:51when a cow comes in our aim our priority
110. 3:54our
111. 3:54mandate the whole goal is to make that
112. 3:57cow
113. 3:58more comfortable so so far so good but
114. 4:01let's see
115. 4:01if we can actually get to heal although
116. 4:04healing completely
117. 4:05is impossible
118. 4:14she looks hesitant to say the least
119. 4:16it'll be worth it love
120. 4:18has anyone looked at the subscriber code
121. 4:19lately by the way 415
122. 4:22000 that means we're approaching half a
123. 4:25million
124. 4:26join the force join the community hit
125. 4:28the subscribe button
126. 4:37the moment of truth
127. 4:43and she's lost her block and i know for
128. 4:46certain she's gonna need one so the
129. 4:48first thing we're gonna do
130. 4:49is get another one put back on this cow
131. 4:51has two necrosis which basically means
132. 4:53that the pedal bone within the hoof
133. 4:55capsule
134. 4:56has actually started to decay and rot
135. 4:59away
136. 5:00that's why i said there is no
137. 5:02possibility of a full recovery
138. 5:04what we can hope is that the end of the
139. 5:07toe
140. 5:07starts to heal over and starts to
141. 5:09produce good sound horn
142. 5:11thereby protecting the inside of our
143. 5:13foot
144. 5:16so this fit is actually doing remarkably
145. 5:18well i'm really really chuffed with this
146. 5:20progress
147. 5:20we just need to get a knife onto it take
148. 5:23back all the loose
149. 5:24cracked and detached horn that hasn't
150. 5:26grown in perfectly well
151. 5:27and then we'll decide whether we need to
152. 5:29wrap it or not
153. 5:42[Music]
154. 5:46so hard as you've just heard this hoof
155. 5:50horn is exceptionally hard and that's
156. 5:52because of a combination of factors
157. 5:54we soaked it with iodine and iodine
158. 5:57extracts moisture from the hoof
159. 5:59it's completely deliberate because that
160. 6:00forms a protective barrier
161. 6:02or shell for everything happening
162. 6:05underneath
163. 6:06that dehydrated horn and tissue the
164. 6:08second reason is
165. 6:09this cow has been housed on straw and
166. 6:12straw
167. 6:12again sucks out some of the moisture
168. 6:15from the cow's feet
169. 6:16if it's changed regularly enough
170. 6:32mhm
171. 6:37the progress so far in this case has
172. 6:39been truly tremendous i couldn't be
173. 6:41happier with the results
174. 6:43and that's why i have to work so
175. 6:45carefully and so slowly
176. 6:46to make sure that i don't cut through
177. 6:48any of that delicate new horn that's
178. 6:50formed
179. 6:51protecting the inside of this cow's food
180. 6:53and desperately
181. 6:55trying to remove all of this cracking
182. 6:58but not cut through the newly harmed
183. 7:02melee horn form newly formed horn
184. 7:08so what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna lift
185. 7:10this foot up here so that i've got
186. 7:11more safe and accurate access to this
187. 7:15inner claw
188. 7:16i'm gonna smooth off this cracking horn
189. 7:18here
190. 7:21with the success of trimming like this
191. 7:23also comes a fair deal of nervousness on
192. 7:25my part believe it or not
193. 7:27when i'm trimming back the loose and
194. 7:28cracked horn that remains on these cows
195. 7:30feet
196. 7:31i am so nervous that i go too far and
197. 7:34undo
198. 7:35all of the cow's hard work and start
199. 7:37taking her backwards
200. 7:39so if we look at this foot right now
201. 7:43and what the difference i see i'm happy
202. 7:46with that result would be like saying
203. 7:48kinda like ice cream truth couldn't be
204. 7:50more true
205. 7:51i am so so happy with that and to be
206. 7:54honest it's quite blown away
207. 7:56at how quickly that's healed i thought
208. 7:57i'd pick it up still be slightly open
209. 8:00and it would be an ongoing problem this
210. 8:03has completely healed up in the end it
211. 8:05will never ever return to perfection
212. 8:08but she will be far far more comfortable
213. 8:10we've reapplied a block just to make
214. 8:12sure that this is staying up off the
215. 8:13ground and not going to
216. 8:14regress and go back and turn back into
217. 8:17that horrible state that it was in
218. 8:22all that's left to do is turn the other
219. 8:23foot and let her go
220. 8:31i'm not criticizing the house tomorrow
221. 8:33farmer or vet or whoever it was that
222. 8:35trimmed this cow previously and put the
223. 8:37block on the wrong foot
224. 8:38all that matters is that we learn from
225. 8:40it and we can
226. 8:41realize that it is so so important to be
227. 8:44one
228. 8:44million percent and yes i know that's
229. 8:46not a real percentage
230. 8:48but to be one million percent certain
231. 8:51that we are putting the block on
232. 8:52a for the right reason and b on the
233. 8:54right claw i know one person that is
234. 8:56very happy
235. 8:57the block is on the correct foot now and
236. 8:58it ain't me it's hard
237. 9:09[Music]
