Horses are the same; they just like to be mouthing something all the time. I had a hoof pick that, when new, had a plastic handle shaped like a horse head. I quickly discovered it had a secondary use as a pacifier while the farrier was working on one of my horses. Otherwise, he'd inevitably steal my farrier's hat and use that for a paci instead. The handle didn't look like a horse head for long.

Such a good moo moo❤️

Amen brother… don’t get me started! And folks that use hydrogen peroxide… talk about show boating! Cheers!

@@EnochtheCowVet I've always used peroxide for my own infections, thought the foaming ment it was working, killing the gunk. Takes a vet to teach me better!

I've been cut and poked so many times that the lack of anesthetic for a simple procedure like that doesn't faze me, but I figure most humans would do well with a little bit of topical anesthetic or freezing spray to numb the skin. That's definitely about all the numbing that's going to work unless you nerve block an entire limb or digit though. Hard to nerve block a cheek.

@@EnochtheCowVet A few days after my appendix was removed the wound opened, the pus was unbelievable. I just pushed gauze into it every morning (using the handle of a teaspoon) and drew the gunk out twenty-four hours later. Left it open and it healed. We breed tough women in Wales!

@@morrigan908freezing spray, yes. Injections of lido add pressure and hurt like heck! As soon as the pressure is off it feels way better. No need for the messing around.

😂😂😂😂😂😊

Her: you called the vet!?!?!?

Beef cattle in Australia are in big fields. Hundreds of acres sometimes. They are not handled often. They are nervous, and reactive. That's why the yards and equipment have to be super strong.

Are you from Montana Boss?

@@EnochtheCowVet not any more. Moved to Florida 20 years ago when my elderly parents became ill, then my husband got sick, and both my children and their families live here. At my age I’ll be staying put until that beautiful green pasture in the sky calls me home. Blessings to you & yours👋

@@Bozemanboss it might be warmer in Florida, but the wildlife down there is probably pretty strange from what your used to way up in Montana. I wish you the best when you make it to those green passengers put a good word in.

@@kathybrandt6060 oh the heat, it’s inferno level, triple digits in a day or two. Humidity 90-100%. Even with A/C in the house you can’t get dry after a shower. Not a fan of the heat, at all. The gators are fun to watch, but no lakeside living for me. The winters are an improvement but we only get about a month or two of cooler weather. The last two years my A/C has only been off for 3 weeks. But in this day and age I’m thankful to have a roof over my head and food on the table. 🙏🏻🐄

@@Bozemanboss that is way too warm for me. Born and raised within 10 miles of where I’m sitting in New Jersey about five minutes from the ocean. I visited Florida for a week once about 30 years ago we were on the West Coast and there was cockroaches the size of sparrows that were in our hotel room. We slept the whole time. We were there with the lights on so those monster bugs wouldn’t come out. But now you have lizards that are even more problematic than the alligators and pigs that will hunt you down if you get in their way when we visited down there 30 years ago, we were on the West Coast, Sanibel Island, and then our flight was taking off from the East Coast so we took the roads through the Everglades and there was a place area that you could go ride through the Everglades so we did that big sign said do not stop your car do not get out of your car. The pigs are dangerous. Of course, being a stupid 26 year old I got out to take a picture and darn if four pigs didn’t come out of nowhere running hellbent to get me ha ha ha I jumped back in the car in time so that they did not eat me I got a beautiful picture so it was kind of worth it. Every year in late winter I get the air conditioning serviced because I know I’m gonna need it on most of the summer. I worked for a newspaper for 23 years then got married. Had one child my husband unfortunately, passed away of a heart attack on New Year’s Eve of 2013 and 14. He had a Widowmaker, he was fine and then he was gone, so I know he didn’t suffer. He would not have been a very good Patient. Before I married my husband I worked in an office for about six years that was kept at 50° not for us the people, but for the computers. So I really don’t tolerate heat well. Take care of yourself and stay cool Kathy.

And her saliva dripping out resembles white paint!! 😮🎉

Cheers Christine! Folks really needed to know!

@@EnochtheCowVet 😊

So if this were a deeper abscess, not so right at the surface taut, would you then use lignocaine, since there would be less pressure? Thanks, love what you do!

If I was opening the skin and muscles over a deeper issue, yes, much like my other surgical videos. We were taught to treat abscesses exactly as you see me doing it here. Cheers!

I tend to think it's not a good idea.

Amazing wife, 4 awesome kids, came here 21 years ago for an adventure, found true love!

Thank you for answering. I’ve always wanted to go to New Zealand and Australia. I really enjoy your videos and I thank you for them.

I bought one finally!

The clotted crud is usually just that...the remnants of a clot. Loads of fibrinogen which doesnt really break down well.

Wow! I reckon they stole that from the medical field!

Indeed!

I was there AIing 150 cows, I never get called out for an abscess. Cheers!

Ahhhh, that makes perfect sense! Thank you Enoch. 💜👍💜

Well...she is now... lol

Love

Yep!

As long as the edges are close together. The point of stitches in the skin is basically to hold the edges together while they heal. But if there's a big, wide hole - like from an ulcer or a bad burn - that heals more from the bottom up to the surface.

​@EnochtheCowVet thanks!! Amazingly efficient!!

​@@heatherexcell3078 Thanks for the follow-up! Super interesting!

Google Easy Boss E

As long as you can safely introduce it. Mr Bull should chill out pretty quick as long as he's in a head gate. " Crazy eye" should go to "soft in the eye"!

Yes.

Never been to Australia have you?

Kind of! It is called an Easy Boss E and it distracts the cow. Pretty cool!

Why do they never stich up after cutting

@@janetcrompton2109you never want to stitch up an abscess. An abscess is an active infection that produces a lot of exudate in the form of pus. If you stitch up the opening you created to drain the abscess, pus will once again build up and a brand new abscess will form. It’s much better for the animal to leave the wound open and let the nasty, infected fluids drain away. It’ll heal quite quickly, once the infection can readily escape.

Great job Chaos, we also flush the abscess to hasten recovery.

@@EnochtheCowVet yeah, with a diluted povodone iodine solution, right? I’ve had to deal with abscesses in wildlife and smaller pet animals before, but thankfully not in about 20 years. That’s a stench you never forget!

Probably noticed that while orally drenching cows they quieted right down!

I observed a freeze brand application in which the animals were distracted by something oral but not of the strength and durability of EASY BOSS E which is medical grade stainless steel.
