this COW has a DOUBLE SOLE hidden inside her foot! — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00cow's entire soul is peeling away from
2. 0:02her hoof. It's little wonder if she's in
3. 0:04a huge amount of pain, and that's
4. 0:06exactly what's happening to the cow in
5. 0:08this video. You're watching the Hoof GP.
6. 0:14Okay, so I know this cow is really lame,
7. 0:16not because I'm looking at her foot, but
8. 0:17because Kevin just told me. Um, thanks
9. 0:21Kevin. Now that her foot is in there
10. 0:23though, obviously it is extremely
11. 0:26obvious why she is so sore. This outer
12. 0:28claw is slightly overgrown, so it's
13. 0:29taking more pressure than it's designed
14. 0:31to do. If we look here at the heel bulb,
15. 0:34it's peeling away from the rest of the
16. 0:35foot. There's inflammation and likely an
17. 0:39infection. So, clearly this foot is
18. 0:41about the right size, but this one is
19. 0:44sticking down around 5 mm. And actually,
20. 0:46it's about 10 mm too high if we look
21. 0:48from the side like this. Looking at feet
22. 0:50like this all day tells me straight away
23. 0:52that this point here is probably the
24. 0:55point that has caused all of this to
25. 0:58delaminate. And this will link up to
26. 1:00here. Right, enough talking. On with the
27. 1:03job. So, as I grab the grinder here,
28. 1:04things are slightly different with this
29. 1:06foot. Usually, we're concentrating on
30. 1:08taking height away from the toe area,
31. 1:09but actually her toe isn't that far away
32. 1:11from being right here. So, we're taking
33. 1:13more material away from the heel area of
34. 1:16this because, as I've just shown you,
35. 1:17her heels were almost 10 mm too high.
36. 1:20But, we do need to also shorten these
37. 1:22toes. Right. If we look from the side
38. 1:25angle, you can now see that these feet
39. 1:27are completely level. They're the right
40. 1:29length, and everything looks much
41. 1:31better. We're going to completely ignore
42. 1:33this problem and this problem right now
43. 1:35and start with the modeling of this
44. 1:36cow's foot,
45. 1:40even if she does protest. Right. So,
46. 1:43we're modeling this out to take weight
47. 1:44away from the bone that is oh inside her
48. 1:48foot. But as I've just done that, look,
49. 1:50you can actually see where the
50. 1:51delamination is.
51. 1:59There is infection in there. You can
52. 2:01clearly see all that kind of scummy
53. 2:03puff.
54. 2:08Sorry, I'm
55. 2:11being quiet because I'm trying to
56. 2:12concentrate on getting the edge of the
57. 2:16blade of my knife in between these
58. 2:18layers and peeling them away. These
59. 2:20knives sometimes look like they're not
60. 2:22that sharp. But hoof horn is incredibly
61. 2:25tough material. And these are like
62. 2:27razors.
63. 2:29Meaning if you don't position the blade
64. 2:31of your knife in exactly the correct
65. 2:33position, you can easily cut into live
66. 2:36tissue. We need to get the edge in like
67. 2:38that and lift away. Oh, see here's the
68. 2:41problem. Earlier on, I pointed out that
69. 2:43the problem was down here at the toe.
70. 2:48And that is exactly what is transpiring.
71. 2:52Right, we'll move up here. It's really
72. 2:54noisy in here today. I don't know what
73. 2:56is up with the cows, but they're all
74. 2:58mooing their heads off.
75. 3:05Right. Get a knife in there. Oh no.
76. 3:08See, some of this is still attached, but
77. 3:11it's not
78. 3:13perfect layers. You know, parts are
79. 3:16attached. It's so loud in here, isn't
80. 3:19it? Parts are attached.
81. 3:22Parts are attached and then parts are
82. 3:24not attached. And it's not like it's
83. 3:26just big leaves. It's just kind of
84. 3:27intermittent.
85. 3:30I hate cutting this part here. This is
86. 3:32where there's lots of soft tissue. It is
87. 3:35dead, but it's soft.
88. 3:40And then where it joins at the white
89. 3:42line, this axial wall, you go from
90. 3:44extremely soft tissue to extremely hard
91. 3:47tissue. So you're kind of battling with
92. 3:50that issue the whole time. And then
93. 3:52here, this is where the white line joins
94. 3:55this ax. This is the axial wall. The
95. 3:57white line kind of disappears up in
96. 3:58there. And where that junction is can be
97. 4:01really, really shallow. And that is
98. 4:03where you can make mistakes very, very
99. 4:05easily.
100. 4:07And yes, I make mistakes. Same as
101. 4:09everybody.
102. 4:14I thought as soon as I said that, I
103. 4:16would totally just end up making a
104. 4:18mistake almost instantly just to prove
105. 4:20that point, but I really don't want to.
106. 4:22Obviously,
107. 4:24get my knife in there that's still
108. 4:25detached. Oh, headbutted the camera
109. 4:29there.
110. 4:32Right.
111. 4:33So right now we've taken the bulk of the
112. 4:36material away here. We've exposed this
113. 4:37issue down here. This is a toe ulcer and
114. 4:41that has delaminated the entire sole.
115. 4:43But there are still little flakes of
116. 4:45hoof horn which need to come away. Look,
117. 4:47I can put my knife under this piece
118. 4:48here. Look. So that's not me cutting it.
119. 4:50Look. And it is completely detached.
120. 4:57Just that illustrates perfectly why
121. 5:00these pieces need to come away because a
122. 5:02piece of dirt could obviously just go in
123. 5:04there as well. Right, we're going to
124. 5:05work our way around this edge here and
125. 5:07peel away this flaking hoof horn and
126. 5:09hopefully find smooth edges.
127. 5:18It absolutely stinks actually this foot.
128. 5:22Sorry loves. You can probably hear me
129. 5:24saying that, can't you?
130. 5:37up and away. In and up and away. Look,
131. 5:40there's another little cavity in there.
132. 5:42Look,
133. 5:48all that juicy stuff needs to come out.
134. 5:52Don't mean juicy in a good way either.
135. 6:01Okay. Right. I'm struggling to do this
136. 6:03with a knife now. So, I'm actually going
137. 6:05to put a nozzle up in between our feet
138. 6:06and reduce this with the grinder.
139. 6:13So, as I grab the grinder here, all I'm
140. 6:14doing is reducing this wall horn. It's
141. 6:17an extremely tough material, but I need
142. 6:20to take my time and be as careful as I
143. 6:21possibly can. One false move and I've
144. 6:24made a mistake because that tissue on
145. 6:26the other side of the wall horn is
146. 6:27exceptionally soft. And now that's
147. 6:29complete. Tidy up, flatten and smooth
148. 6:31off the inner claw. Ready for this block
149. 6:34to be applied.
150. 6:39If you just get a closeup of this, you
151. 6:41can really see the detail of this wall
152. 6:43ulcer. This is a very sore problem. And
153. 6:46because it's on the toe here, any cow
154. 6:48really struggles to hide from the pain
155. 6:50because they cannot avoid using that
156. 6:53part of their foot. Right. All that
157. 6:54remains to do is kind of trim round
158. 6:56about this also a little bit. Let's get
159. 7:00this hard hoof horn of the wall away
160. 7:02from it so it's not hurting it out with
161. 7:04every step.
162. 7:06These edges are sharp round about the
163. 7:08ulcer.
164. 7:11I just use the hook of my knife to
165. 7:13protect the ulcer itself and pull the
166. 7:15hoof horn away from it to actually see
167. 7:18this goes up into the wall horn.
168. 7:22Basically any problem just like just
169. 7:25like the rest of us in life looks for
170. 7:27the easiest route and the easiest route
171. 7:30unfortunately is up through the white
172. 7:31line which is why we get so many
173. 7:33problems in there. It's a junction
174. 7:35between the wall horn and the interior
175. 7:37of the foot or the sole of the foot in
176. 7:39this case. And that junction is a weak
177. 7:41point.
178. 8:00Okay. Okay. Okay. So, I've reduced this
179. 8:04wall horn a little bit to take those
180. 8:05hard edges away from it. You can see the
181. 8:07ulcer clearly sticking up. Wait a
182. 8:10minute. Sticking up.
183. 8:13So, wrapping this with iodine is pretty
184. 8:15much what you used to do in the wars. It
185. 8:17shrinks up the deteriorating tissue,
186. 8:20helps to protect it from the outside
187. 8:21elements, and forms a barrier from the
188. 8:24outside elements. Right, that's us
189. 8:27pretty much
