We found a HUGE CAVERNOUS void in this cow's hoof!

We discovered

this

cavernous

void

inside the

hoof

of the cow you're about to see cut. This is her before we treat her, she can barely touch the ground, so here is C 4710 and as you can see, she is really struggling. Even to use that right back foot, I know that there is a good chance that there is a fluid filled cavity inside

this

foot, but at this point in the clipping I can't be sure, all I know is that this claw here on the outside side is bigger than it should. be and that is where the problem will probably be this little spot is of real interest I think the black spot will be the key to fixing and making this cow pain free first of all I take my grinder I balance both claws this is The routine part of the adjustment, as many of you will now know, it is vital that we do this before we do anything else because we need to make sure that we can balance the two Claws and that nothing arises before we deal with the problem. because if something else comes up we may end up treating the main problem in a completely different way.

I model the

ation of your soul before attacking and releasing the problem and thus we find what is causing the problem. You already knew it. it was there, but the relief for me from trimming in real time is immense because I know I can now attack the problem head-on, but at this point in trimming I have no idea what the absolutely colossal cavity is hiding beneath all that overload. Now I know with absolute certainty what has been causing this cow all that pain, so I grabbed the grinder and removed the medial or inner claw from this hind leg so she can take a block and stick it in position to lift the affected sore. .

She claws very high off the ground, basically she will wear a high heel on one foot that lifts the other foot off the ground. She pushed and pressed her feet to try to understand the extent of her problems. Remember that you have had foresight. I know what's coming but I need to try to understand and navigate around this foot so using my grinder I start to reduce the overall size of this

hoof

so that hopefully I have less work with the knife to do that, that being said, through the knife. Work is where we make our money, it's where we make the precise cuts and the ones that really matter.

I was expecting more fluid to come out of the cavity, so you can see me manipulating the foot here in an effort to see if it comes out. I know this cavity is big, but something makes me want to look inside and when I do I begin to realize the enormity of the hole that is hidden from view at this moment inside this cow's food, understanding the layout of what I can't see underneath right now. These layers are really useful, it means I can remove larger, thicker pieces of oven from the bottom of the pie without worrying about cutting into something I don't really want to touch.

I use these circular motions with my knife because it gives me leverage across the horn my knife is razor sharp but the horn is extremely hard piece by piece slice by slice I remove as much as I can the swelling in our foot is extensive so putting pressure through it is causing us discomfort, that's why you just saw her squirm and try to kick her way out of this, fortunately for me, although the kvk keeps each cow exactly where she should be, we are really making progress on the shear now, but this wall horn is exceptionally sturdy. and I need to reduce it as much as I can and then move towards the inside of his foot and even the heel, there is still a long way to go and as you are about to see, this cavity has not finished revealing itself.

Cut one wrong move like this and you'll make a mistake like that, it's just a very small mistake, but I'd rather not have made any mistakes, it will be completely inconsequential to your overall progress as the healing process begins. but as I just said, it's still frustrating to make any mistakes, we continue trimming and remove every loose tear fragment we can before soaking his entire soul area with this 10% iodine solution in the newly formed one. The horn is very, very delicate, in fact it's soft and can be easily penetrated by anything on the ground, so I want to dehydrate those outer layers of the new horn using the iodine and salicylic acid under the casing that Kev just apply after that and move on. into the back left foot while Craig and Kev take care of the front feet before we can finally let this C out of the crush to see if we've made any difference to how she was walking just 5 or 6 minutes ago the discomfort.

From the problem we

found

it was obvious, this is her in her little pen before we clipped her, just 5 or 6 minutes ago, struggling to even touch the ground. I hope and pray and cross my fingers that when she moves on from this crush, the story. It will be slightly different, it's a cute first few steps, but she starts using the block almost immediately and when she's outside the progress is very real. We have made a

huge

difference to this little cow's comfort in just a few minutes.
