1. 0:01he's a good good girl
2. 0:04she's a good girl oh she says I need
3. 0:08belly rubs I need belly rubs oh she says
4. 0:12I'm gonna start kicking before you even
5. 0:14start scratching ah yes we all feel
6. 0:17better now except for this girl
7. 0:20this cow showing lameness on this right
8. 0:22rear and I think it's obvious what the
9. 0:24problem is here
10. 0:25or is it we've got rocks down below and
11. 0:28we've got some dermatitis up above
12. 0:30either one of these could cause lameness
13. 0:32or both we'll have to find out
14. 0:55now there's one thing I know for sure I
15. 0:58need to get these rocks out of here
16. 0:59before I hit them with my cutting wheel
17. 1:01the carbides on that cutting wheel will
18. 1:03dull instantly if they hit these rocks
19. 1:05and I don't want to do that so I'm going
20. 1:07to try to pick a few of these out with
21. 1:09my knife and then start trimming now
22. 1:11you're gonna see here in a minute I
23. 1:13didn't get them all and when you have
24. 1:14feet like this this cow would just come
25. 1:16off a pasture
26. 1:17so it can get caught up inside some of
27. 1:19that
28. 1:20incomplete shedding there it is right
29. 1:22there so you're gonna neck them but you
30. 1:24got to use the knife then pick that free
31. 1:26so you can finish your trim
32. 1:28whether or not this punctured it doesn't
33. 1:30appear so but let's finish this trim up
34. 1:32and we'll find out
35. 1:35now in general hooves are designed to be
36. 1:38able to withstand rocks right if these
37. 1:40cows were out in the wild
38. 1:42they wouldn't have anyone to pick the
39. 1:43rocks out of their feet so they have to
40. 1:45have a way to be able to handle rocks in
41. 1:47those situations and that is normally in
42. 1:50a shedding process that hoof would
43. 1:52naturally shed away they would not have
44. 1:54softer ground to walk on where those
45. 1:55rocks wouldn't be getting pushed through
46. 1:57the sole so we wouldn't have the same
47. 1:59problems we have with confined cows cows
48. 2:01that are in Barns that then walk on
49. 2:03cement or concrete that rock then is
50. 2:06able to be pushed deeper into that soul
51. 2:09and could eventually puncture if not
52. 2:11caught in time
53. 2:17lucky for this girl we caught this in
54. 2:19time and there's only some mild erosion
55. 2:20to that Soul no big deal but what she
56. 2:23does have is some dermatitis up above
57. 2:25that we need to deal with now
58. 2:36oftentimes with digital dermatitis
59. 2:38you're going to see heel horn erosion
60. 2:39that's what I'm clearing away right now
61. 2:42now whether heel horn erosion is a
62. 2:45symptom of the dermatitis or a
63. 2:48contributing factor to that dermatitis
64. 2:49well that's up for debate either way I
65. 2:52want to clean this area out extremely
66. 2:53well those crevices those cracks they
67. 2:56can trap bacteria and make this lesion
68. 2:58spread I don't want that obviously so
69. 3:01wash that out we're going to clean this
70. 3:03lesion exceptionally well also
71. 3:11a chlorhexidine is an excellent
72. 3:13antiseptic so why would that not take
73. 3:15care of these bacteria on its own and
74. 3:18it's because some of those Spirit Keats
75. 3:19actually live inside this we can't reach
76. 3:22those with this antiseptic so we need a
77. 3:25Little Bit Stronger concoction and that
78. 3:27is by salicylic acid and copper paste
79. 3:30that I'm going to apply as soon as I get
80. 3:31this area cleaned right here I'm just
81. 3:33trimming up some of those hairs once
82. 3:34again they can trap debris which can
83. 3:37Harbor that bacteria so I want to get
84. 3:38them all free so I can get my treatment
85. 3:40exactly where I want it
86. 3:45as I mentioned the paste I use is a
87. 3:47mixture of copper sulfate salicylic acid
88. 3:50and petroleum jelly all mixed together I
89. 3:53just used the petroleum jelly to to bind
90. 3:55those things together otherwise you've
91. 3:57got the dust from that salicylic acid
92. 4:00and that copper I really don't want to
93. 4:01be inhaling that all the time so I use
94. 4:03that petroleum jelly just as an easy way
95. 4:05to apply that
96. 4:19so not only did she have dermatitis on
97. 4:21this back foot but she also had it on
98. 4:24her other back foot as well same
99. 4:26treatment there salicylic acid and
100. 4:28copper paste wrapped up and this girl is
101. 4:31ready to go
102. 4:33and as they say
103. 4:35that's a wrap
