Yayyyy! Good morning from Minnesota! Hope the weather is good down under. Temp's dropping here. Supposed to snow today after 60 degrees on Saturday. I envy you, abscesses and all!
I live in Vancouver, Washington State across the bridge from Portland, Oregon. Spring has sprung here and it's beautiful to watch everything that looked dead come back to life. You guys are welcome to move to Washington or Oregon if you ever get tired of the weather in Minnesota. We don't get nearly the amount of rain everybody says.
@@Tari004 i absolutely LOVE rain! Oh how I wish. My children each got a wish from Make A Wish, 1 picked Florida n 1 picked NYC.

@@Maya_Pinion actually we say that about the rain cuz we don't want everyone rushing here to live. Shhh... don't tell anyone I let that slip!

It almost never rains in the summer and it rarely gets above 90 or below 15... for all of that I can handle a little rain!
The metal halter might be uncomfortable but they are in it for a short time, and they are busy thinking about that rather than what you are doing while also restricting them from moving which keeps you and them safe while you fix em up. I am interested to know what these complainers would use instead and if they have ever handled animals this big and powerful when they are sick or injured. Because I know from personal experience, an injured animal these guys size, tends to not want to be messed with and will fight you to get the heck away. So yeah this tool for this short time is necessary and is humane. Never stop sharing your wisdom Doc, I am learning so much that is helpful to my animals, I just wish people that have no clue would keep their opinions to themselves.
Thanks for posting. I hope your do more, I’m sure a lot of babies are being born now??? Well maybe not opposite of the USA, I’m sure it early fall there. I watch a lot of this kind of videos, and most don’t put fluid Betadine wash in the Abscess and flush it out. I Believe you are doing a great job helping these animals. I pay attention to all the Vets I watch. In my words you are the best. 😀
Request. Please during your daily work can you mention names of any drugs, instrument, techniques and other information. because most of the time when you make the work you start quickly and also you finished quickly. Thanks
So, anytime I was helping the Vet with my Morgan Horse with a procedure and needed to calm the horse. would anchor 2 halter lines to each side of the Hallway & take 2ft. of weed wacker line and press it with a good amount of pressure across his upper high gum/teeth line. Are there any triks for Cow's you use often to calm them down without an Injection? Great Video. Bob from Papillion, Nebraska
The crusted pus that is still leaking coming out of the left nostril drives me crazy. It would only take a second to clear away. I think I’m too ocd (literally, diagnosed) to work on a farm.
@@cherilynnkeenright6699 you just described my dog to a T! He don’t bite but at 80# he hits like a ton of bricks if he so much as grazes you while zipping past at breakneck speeds.

Aussies living in other countries always makes me think to myself, why go so far away from home to be a farmer when there is just as much land here in Australia to farm. It may well be our, lack of constant rain and regulatory fall of it, in any given year? Its good to see the cow 🐄 getting some relief.
@@markwhelan9887 It’s no problem! That would be odd to leave Australia to come all the way over here to America to work when there is plenty of work there! Plus, Australia is just so darn beautiful!! 🙌🏼 Have a great day!
@@gianisoma let me tell you the truth Australia has some very beautiful places yet there are a just as many dodgy places just like the USA Australia has some real weird towns im talking wrong turn type towns that you don't want to be leaving your vehicle because some people don't value human life like others do. Have you seen the movie Wolf creek if so let me assure you there's 100% places like that in the Queensland outback. Where you are so remote not a living soul will ever hear your screams. So don't ever as a tourist go bush in Australia without a local who knows the place or you might just end up a statistic. Ps our farmers are hard arsed 100% tuff bastards.
@@markwhelan9887 Yeah, not everything is Bondi Beach, eh? It seems there are sketchy places in most countries, unfortunately. It’s good to know though so people don’t just head out and get themselves into trouble. I haven’t seen Wolf Creek but I will definitely look for it. It sounds like our version of the old movie, “Deliverance.” Thank goodness for the farmers. They really sound like the type of people who keep the world running right. Cheers to you, my friend!
@@liam..2790 I’m not real sure anymore. With all the knowledge we have about how healthy a plant based diet/lifestyle is you would think more people would become vegetarian or vegan. Maybe some people were raised eating meat and they just continue to consume it as they get older, unfortunately. Also, The Keto Diet is very popular right now. It consists of eating mostly protein, veggies and some fruits. It’s a low/no-carb diet. And some people even choose the Carnivore Diet. That’s an all protein diet for every meal. I guess it comes down to personal choice. Some people care about what they put into their bodies and others aren’t too concerned about it. I hope you have a great day!
The abscess material is directly under the skin (where you would normally try to infuse anesthetic). Simple quick lance and drainage is the best treatment as anesthetic would both be ineffective and unnecessary, but cheers for asking!
It's completely pointless to use an anaesthetic on a bovine abscess. The subcutaneous space (where it would be injected) is filled with pus, which will deactivate the anaesthetic.
What causes these abcesses? As I see other videos where they get it at rear hind as well as round their neck and throat, sometimes the amount of puss released is loads.. I'm just interested how they start.. tha ks for the video
The contents were squeezed out of both abscesses. Both of them were small so there wasn’t tons of stuff but you can definitely see it. Try watching again.
Hey doc. People keep asking about a local, before the cutting. I know that locals don't work very well on infected flesh in people,I just assumed it was the same with critters too. Is that the case?
Correct Tom, there is literally nowhere to put the local as the abscess is directly under the skin. Luckily, distention numbs the skin a fair bit too. Cheers!
When people create noise re metal head halters , no LA or don’t hurt the animal you know we’ve lost touch with the real side of farming . Large animal vets , good LAV , are damned hard to find so having one so good who isn’t anxious about showing real technique or it offending people is just really doing his job . I’ll even let the adverts run !!! He’s fast , thorough and you can tell he knows the end result will be good .
Hydrogen peroxide is impressive visually, but not great as an antiseptic we were taught. Betadyne is relatively nonirritating. We are mostly trying to dilute the pus to allow healing without irritating the tissue overly facilitating healing. Cheers!
This little job, no, but bigger ones with more involvement yes. She just needed them “popped” so they don’t progress to something bigger and eventually more traumatic.
I think there are less flies because this is Australia. They have to have a lot more land for cows to graze as the grass gets scorched. Since more land to graze manure is more spread out then here in the states. Just an idea, I'm not an expert.
@@renag1123 I grew up on the sparsely populated plains of South Dakota. Any time a wound was opened almost immediately it was covered in flies. The cows and manure were widely spread. The weather was severe. Both hot in summer and -0 in winter, but we had flies, mosquitoes, and grasshoppers
I've seen vets and farmers cut cows open like this but always wondered do they not need somthing to numb them first ? Or are their hydes just so thick it's like painless?
Howdy Brad, the abscess itself desensitizes the skin to a fair extent. Because the pus is right under the skin usually, there is nowhere to deposit local. A super sharp scalpel blade is a bit like a sharp knife in the kitchen when you nick your index finger on your left hand... you sometimes don’t even notice it at first!
@@EnochtheCowVet oh ok always wondered this never learned this stuff grew up being a mechanic and a logger but thank you for answering this appreciate it very much.
No point. Absesses prevent numbing medicine from working, and they also cause a loss of sensation...the pain of the pressure is much, much less than the tiny prick to relieve it. I've had a bad absess and not only did the local not help, but the doc kept putting more and more in and increased the pressure. Finally he nicked the side...and omg the pain relief. Absesses need drainage and antibiotics. Not a local.
Shes an absolute doll🥰 cows have the most loving eyes
That's why those looking with adoration at another are said to have "Cow Eyes."
Nothing like a good abscess with my morning coffee. I think it is great you use metal halters. So much cleaner and better restraint.

Is there a particular reason why the incision has to be made without some mild anesthetic? Seems like it would hurt her less
The abscess material is directly under the skin (where you would normally try to infuse anesthetic). Simple quick lance and drainage is the best treatment as anesthetic would both be ineffective and unnecessary, but cheers for asking!
I thought antibiotics were only meant to be given in 10cc per spot. That syringe had way more than 10cc in.
Could these abscesses be coming from teeth that are bad.
She’s pretty
Poor soul the pain must be awful.
Very little pain over tiny abscesses like those. Good as gold!
Are accesses more likely to form on the jaw than other parts of the cow? It feel like it's always the jaws in videos
Yes... spiky food embedding in gums near teeth usually.
Is it to much to give them a pain shot?
It's completely pointless to use an anaesthetic on a bovine abscess.
The subcutaneous space (where it would be injected) is filled with pus, which will deactivate the anaesthetic.
@@alistairclement4239 near the abscess
I’ve seen it done! We had a vet that came out several times In regards to situation like this

Not really… the abscess undermines and distends the skin, rendering it mostly numb. This is the way. Cheers’

Hydrogen peroxide is impressive visually, but not great as an antiseptic we were taught. Betadyne is relatively nonirritating. We are mostly trying to dilute the pus to allow healing without irritating the tissue overly facilitating healing. Cheers!
Wish these guys wore gloves... Kinda worries me cause the drainage that comes out has bacteria that could Probrably infect the guy who is lancing
Why every time without gloves???
Because the risk to man or beast is non-existent.
What do they get abscesses from????
Likely small foreign bodies from skin punctures judging by the location.
Does the cow get any painkiller?
This little job, no, but bigger ones with more involvement yes. She just needed them “popped” so they don’t progress to something bigger and eventually more traumatic.
