This Brown Swiss Cow POPPED A TIRE — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:02All right, guys. Welcome back to Nate
2. 0:03the hoof guy. Meadow's all settled in,
3. 0:06so let's get right into this trim. And
4. 0:08it is pretty obvious what the issue is
5. 0:11with this cow.
6. 0:16What is unclear at this point is exactly
7. 0:18how large this particular nail is.
8. 0:20But, let's get it cleaned up, and we'll
9. 0:22find out.
10. 0:41I can move it with my fingers. That's
11. 0:43always a good sign.
12. 0:53The length of that nail, however, is not
13. 0:55a good sign. You can see here after I've
14. 0:57cleaned it up, this is an old corroded
15. 1:00nail,
16. 1:01about 2 in long, and about 1 and 1/2 in
17. 1:04was embedded in that claw.
18. 1:09Now, much like if we were assessing a
19. 1:11white line issue, we need to pare away
20. 1:13this horn to see what we've got.
21. 1:28One of the perils for cows that spend a
22. 1:30lot of time on pasture is that they can
23. 1:32pick up things in their hooves and bring
24. 1:34them back onto the concrete and then get
25. 1:36those embedded. Anything from nails,
26. 1:38screws, rocks, any of these things, once
27. 1:42brought onto the cement in their hoof,
28. 1:44under the weight of the cow, can embed
29. 1:46that into that sole. That's likely what
30. 1:48we've had happen here.
31. 1:54Much like white line issues, punctures
32. 1:57are also going to have areas of
33. 1:58separation associated with that. So, in
34. 2:01turn, we must pare away that loose horn
35. 2:03just to make sure that that doesn't
36. 2:04cause any additional issues.
37. 2:47Luckily for this cow, that nail only
38. 2:49touched a small portion of that corium
39. 2:51and then worked its way back into the
40. 2:53sole.
41. 3:02When it comes to treating something like
42. 3:03this, all I can really do is give it a
43. 3:05good thorough clean down with some
44. 3:07chlorhexidine and some gauze and then
45. 3:09put a salicylic acid wrap on it.
46. 3:11Anything else has to be handled by a
47. 3:12veterinarian. And yes, of course, we
48. 3:15will put a block on that other claw. I'm
49. 3:16going to get this wrapped up now first
50. 3:18in this case. Typically, I don't do
51. 3:20that, but in this case, I'm going to
52. 3:21keep both claws clean for the process.
53. 3:25If you want to know more about that dog
54. 3:27you saw at the beginning, stay tuned.
55. 3:29We've got an update on Meadow at the end
56. 3:31of the video.
57. 3:41Now, let's get this claw cleaned up, get
58. 3:42that block applied, and we'll give her a
59. 3:44test drive to see how she's walking.
60. 4:12And I'd say she's walking pretty well
61. 4:14considering. Now if you've been
62. 4:16following this channel for the last
63. 4:17year, you will remember we surprised our
64. 4:19children
65. 4:20with a brand new puppy last Christmas.
66. 4:23Tiny little ball of energy, we named her
67. 4:25Meadow.
68. 4:27Now guess what? It's 1 year later and
69. 4:29yes, she is still a ball of energy.
70. 4:33And she's still got a lot of puppy left
71. 4:34in her and lots of zoomies. She even
72. 4:38decided to try on some Nate the Hoof Guy
73. 4:40merch.
74. 4:41Bless her heart.
75. 4:43As always guys, thanks for watching and
76. 4:46we will see you all
77. 4:48on the next one.
