1. 0:00hello and welcome back to Nate the hoof
2. 0:02guy well it's pretty obvious with this
3. 0:04cow exactly where that problem is but
4. 0:07what's interesting is that the way she's
5. 0:09walking and the way she's standing on
6. 0:11this foot is going to actually tip us
7. 0:12off to where this problem is before we
8. 0:15even pick that foot up you can see as we
9. 0:18get her in the shoot and take a look at
10. 0:19this foot notice her toe notice how
11. 0:22she's rocking back on her heels that toe
12. 0:24is not even touching the ground and
13. 0:27that's because she doesn't want to put
14. 0:28pressure on that toe
15. 0:30because of this look at the split in
16. 0:33that toe the problem's going to be
17. 0:35underneath there so let's get started on
18. 0:37this and show you exactly where it
19. 0:50is so as I mentioned sometimes cows can
20. 0:53give away a little hints as to where
21. 0:55that problem is before you even pick
22. 0:57that foot up in this case the way she
23. 0:59was rocking back on her heels told us
24. 1:01that that problem was in her toes and
25. 1:03also she's got one on her heels she will
26. 1:06put the weight on her toes you can tell
27. 1:09which claw it is if it's on a lateral
28. 1:12Claw on the back foot she will turn her
29. 1:14feet so that she's putting more pressure
30. 1:16on the medial claw there's little things
31. 1:18like that you can pick up just by
32. 1:20watching them walk and that's kind of
33. 1:21why I always like to do that before I
34. 1:23put a cow in the shoot I'm watching to
35. 1:25see how that foot lands how she's
36. 1:27walking if those can give me a little
37. 1:29bit of hints as to where that problem is
38. 1:31going to be before I even pick it up
39. 1:33because believe it or not sometimes
40. 1:35these problems will be so small and so
41. 1:37minor that you'll start to second guess
42. 1:39yourself once you have that foot in the
43. 1:40air you won't know for sure you'll look
44. 1:42at it and think the problem might be
45. 1:43here but you're not sure and you start
46. 1:46to second guess if the problem was even
47. 1:48on that
48. 1:49claw but on this one it's pretty obvious
49. 1:52where it is we've got some separation
50. 1:54there right in the right hand corner of
51. 1:56that Claw is where that problem is going
52. 1:57to be so we're going to get to work on
53. 1:59that you'll notice I got two different
54. 2:01knives here one of the questions I get a
55. 2:02lot is why are some knives thicker than
56. 2:04the others it simply has to do with how
57. 2:07often they've been sharpened always
58. 2:09start them out when they're thicker I
59. 2:11use those knives for more of the more uh
60. 2:13aggressive cutting where I'm taking off
61. 2:15bigger pieces but when I'm working on
62. 2:17fine detail stuff like this I'm going to
63. 2:19use that thinner bladed knife you can
64. 2:21get those knives sharper and do more
65. 2:23precise cutting with
66. 2:28them
67. 2:55usually when I'm filming a trim I try to
68. 2:57be a little bit more cognizant of where
69. 2:58I put my hands in relation to the camera
70. 3:01in this case I failed I blocked it a
71. 3:03little bit here you'll be able to see
72. 3:04more here in a
73. 3:25minute this dark colored horn right here
74. 3:28is just some staining the problem is
75. 3:30going to be right here in this corner so
76. 3:31let's get to work on
77. 3:42that when you have lesions in and around
78. 3:45that toe triangle often times they are
79. 3:47going to be associated with some
80. 3:49pronounced lameness in that foot here
81. 3:51you can see that horn is starting to
82. 3:53push up a little bit the reason that is
83. 3:55is because when that cow takes that step
84. 3:57it's putting a lot of pressure toward
85. 4:00that toe area and obviously when you
86. 4:02have an a lesion in that little spot
87. 4:05with a lot of pressure there it's going
88. 4:07to create it's going to cause that cow
89. 4:10to try to step differently to try to
90. 4:12alleviate that so that's why you're
91. 4:13going to see that pronounced lameness
92. 4:15every time she puts that foot down
93. 4:17there's a lot of pain associated with
94. 4:18that so she tries to lift it up and
95. 4:20tries to get that weight onto that other
96. 4:23other foot so in this case because it's
97. 4:26right along that white line that horn is
98. 4:29actually working its way into that
99. 4:31corium it's like pushed right up tight
100. 4:33against it and that also makes it
101. 4:36painful you can see here watch as that
102. 4:39pressure escapes from that lesion area
103. 4:43yikes she's going to feel better almost
104. 4:46instantly just from that coming out of
105. 4:47there you can see that little plug of
106. 4:49debris that was holding all that
107. 4:51pressure in now we got to get a block in
108. 4:53that other claw and we'll go back to
109. 4:54work to open this
110. 4:58up
111. 5:30have you ever put the block on the wrong
112. 5:31claw before no but I put the glue on the
113. 5:34wrong side of the block before in that
114. 5:36case you have to start all
115. 5:58over
116. 6:17it's right in this corner where that
117. 6:19horn is almost interwoven right into
118. 6:21that corium it's these Corners are these
119. 6:23areas that can be really particularly
120. 6:25difficult to work in but you need to get
121. 6:27that horn that's pushed up into that
122. 6:29corium away from there because that's
123. 6:31what's causing a lot of that discomfort
124. 6:33you can see some area there that's
125. 6:35starting to Bubble Up that's the area
126. 6:37where we've got some separation
127. 6:38underneath there and that horn that's
128. 6:40intertwined into that corium so we got
129. 6:42to tease that away try to get all of
130. 6:44that loose horn out of there so we can
131. 6:46get this cow back on the mend and take
132. 6:48care of that discomfort that's bothering
133. 6:58her
134. 7:25this is the trickiest part of that trim
135. 7:27if you look close you can see all those
136. 7:29little edges that are working their way
137. 7:31pushing right up tight to the corium got
138. 7:33to try to get this cleaned out ways so I
139. 7:35can see all of the edges then work my
140. 7:38knife and up underneath those little
141. 7:40flaps to try to cut those away if I
142. 7:42leave those there all they're going to
143. 7:44do is trap debris and irritate that area
144. 7:46so I have to ease my knife up behind
145. 7:48that and try to cut away as I pull those
146. 7:50out and then once we get that completely
147. 7:52free then we can get it all cleaned up
148. 7:54and get it
149. 7:58wrapped
150. 8:16now we can get that salicylic acid wrap
151. 8:18in place now salicylic acid does a
152. 8:20couple of things number one it's going
153. 8:22to exfoliate the that area pull away any
154. 8:24of the the uh damaged tissue that might
155. 8:27be there another thing that's it's going
156. 8:28to do is it it's going to provide some
157. 8:31pain relief some localized pain relief
158. 8:33to the area and another thing it's going
159. 8:34to do is help eliminate bacteria in that
160. 8:37it's got a low PH so that's has a
161. 8:41bacteria cidal effect here you can see
162. 8:43her putting weight back on that claw and
163. 8:46she's gone couple weeks we'll check back
164. 8:48and see how she's doing hopefully that
165. 8:50foot is a lot more comfortable then as
166. 8:52always thanks for watching and we will
167. 8:54see you all on the next
168. 8:57one
