TREMBLING with PAIN ... REVISITING a COW with a severe LIMP ... how's she doing? | The Hoof GP

So in this video, we take a look at how 8:12 this is her first visit after the cut we did with the alarm on Monday, where we applied two blocks and two bandages, how is she

doing

now? Well, stick around because you're about to. find out, so you guys will join me today as I revisit this cow hut number 812. Today is Saturday morning here in the south west of Scotland and it's very windy and cold, as you can see cow 812 is happily pulling my bucket here just for purely. It bothers me, she's walking and to be honest I'm pretty disappointed with her improvement.

I think there's a very, very slight improvement, but it's actually slight and when we get to class you'll see exactly why that improvement is so big. slightly okay, so as soon as we have one leg in the air and she's safely secured in the crush, we can start working on removing that bandage that was put on Monday morning and as soon as I start taking it off, See the sneaky signs of a double Sall in that NRIC record where the block is now. If we look at this angle, you can see me peeling off that little piece of horn with my finger and that's just to see if I'm going to need to do that. remove that block or not so whatever decisions are made we are going to remove that block to see what is underneath and as soon as it is removed we can say that it has some kind of double sole so we need to remove all the overload and the horn . and we really open that injury up to the elements if we don't remove the overload horn it will never heal and later we will worry about putting a blocker on this food somehow to try to take the weight off that area.

Besides the other claw, which was the problem in the first place, the good news is that another problem on the outside court was covered by digital dermatitis last time and this time it is not so embryonic that the magic paste worked, so I'm using half. a horseshoe on this is actually a teepee horseshoe, they call them an iron box and I'm using it because they can actually avoid that area that is very sensitive and open. We look at this with you and you can see that it just goes around the outside. edge of that inner claw and that's where the weight bearing surfaces on that fabric I didn't remove the glue so if it's me injecting glue into the back to make sure it doesn't come off at all right into the next core, one, it's in the air, we'll take the bandage off, we'll replace it there again on Monday morning, we'll clean it up and see what the cookies are with you see, as you can see almost immediately that injury.

She's actually healing very, very well, she's dry and again she was covered in digital dermatitis, but not anymore, but also, as you'll see, she's feeling that outer fabric, so we have to remove that blockage to see what's going on. with this. fabric, so on the leading edge that little white line that you can see there, I actually thought it wasn't enough to see them, so we put the block there and took a little bit of pressure off it, but it hasn't actually done that and as you can see now in the background, that white line crack actually extends up between the inside wall horn and the outside wall horn and up to the crown or hairline where the horn actually is . has grown so we need to remove every bit of overload and horn because it doesn't flex and the inner portion of the food is actually getting very swollen due to the infection but I just been there and if it doesn't flex and there is swelling in the en the inside, obviously, that's causing extreme pressure and therefore

pain

, so we need to eliminate that crack to allow that part of the foot to really flex and accommodate the swelling within the foot to then allow for new growth and the healing of the foot, unfortunately we will not be able to. put a block on this foot, but I'm really hoping that because she's on a bed of straw, we can actually get there okay, so when she comes out of the crush, you can see that she's walking a little more naked than during the last visit, but clearly he still doesn't walk well enough.

I told her to join the route so she will go back to a pen for the next week until she can leave as next Monday she is absolutely sexy, that cow feeds herself and strengthens her immune system. enough to get through these difficulties next week is critical for this cow and I really hope she realized this and really feeds her way through these infections. I really believe that we can make a full recovery and be done with it within a couple of weeks, so I hope that the boys, myself, the farmer and the lady, are

doing

everything they can to ensure their comfort and really promote the prospects of healing for this character.

Come back a week. I watched to see how our progress there.
