That is crazy cool how the metal device keeps the cow busy. Much better than trying to restrain her head. Another great job by my favorite vet to watch!
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.
Finally! A doc on youtube, in this case a Vet, but it's the same for humans -- who understands that the treatment for an abscess is Incision and Drainage. That's it. Local anesthetic is useless and just makes the process worse. Make a good size opening, drain the gunk, irrigate the wound, and leave it open. Good-o!
@@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.
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.
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!
@@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.
What a wonderful teacher. He seems like such a nice person. I’m wondering how many children he has if any and what his wife does. I know he’s from Colorado, but I’m wondering if she is from Australia. Just curious how I got to Australia.
Dr Enoch, you’re an awesome brother. Very knowledgeable, positive, good lookin, funny cowboy. I’ve learned so much. Now that you are The Man, please invest in a wind resistant microphone. We miss a lot due to the wind noise. You are famous now. Time to upgrade, bro 😎! You’re gonna be huge on U-tube. Like really big!! 🎉😊
Wow, that cow was really going! That was some froth! I know you're probably tired of seeing this, but I do wish I could hear you better. I want to learn.
Hey friend. We LOVE your videos and learning so much. The biggest challenge is the wind. Often, We cannot hear what you’re sharing. Can you use a wind sock on your mic while recording? That would be so great. Thanks for all you do!!
Never thought I’d hear a vet use a phrase describing the dumping of nuclear waste in the ocean to refer to an abscess (Re: the solution for pollution is dilution. for those who don’t know, that was the actual mindset regarding nuclear waste disposal)
I always took mine for a walk in the stroller near bedtime (I could reach) then got them tiny toes while she slept. Woke up mani pedi, easy but sneaky every time.
Hi Doc. What breed of cow is she ? She looks like a jersey, but I know that I can always be wrong. You and your team are awesome, y’all stay safe and blessed !!!
From other vids, sometimes these contain fibrous masses. How does the puss form that material? Or are they the result of something else like coagulated blood proteins? I also like the volume dilution with betadine. I see some just push in hydrogen peroxide. Kills stuff but doesn’t flush the cavity. Thank you.
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.
Of course I love each and every video Enoch. But I wonder why the ranchers dont handle more of this themselves? Round here todays video would not have required vet.
Don't you have to remove the cyst sack then suture the hole? I probably watch too much Dr. Pimple Popper, but won't she get an infection with an open hole on her face?
That pacifier thing was amazing! The cow stayed so calm, beautiful work!
Love the cow pacifier, amazing that chewing on metal makes her happy.
That is crazy cool how the metal device keeps the cow busy. Much better than trying to restrain her head. Another great job by my favorite vet to watch!

It’s annoying for her! Duh! She has no choice but to react😢
@@jeanineberna8458 wouldn't wanna know her thoughts, but it works a lot better, than trying to tie her head steady and less stress for the poor thing
@@jeanineberna8458 True. I am sure she feels much better.

Spectacular performance as always Enoch!!! I’m just so intrigued with everything you do and all that you know!!!

It’s always a great day when you post a video! I’ve learned so much from you! Much love from Oklahoma!!
😂 cow just smacking that “sugar cane” - keep em rolling 😂❤
Haha, your distraction device reminds me of a paint roller frame. 😂
And her saliva dripping out resembles white paint!! 😮🎉
The distraction tool is amazing!
Awe you took great care of her! You just knew what to do and I appreciate the care you’ve given her!
The psychology surrounding peoples fascination with pustulence is deep indeed.
I mean how you can be so firm and gentle all at the same time baffled me well done treating that cow
Happy she was so chill the whole time. 🥰
The metal tool is a fantastic tool someone made a small fortune with that invention
Got to love those Canadian inventions.🇨🇦
That was instant pain relief for her, I had one lanced under my arm as a kid, no injection needed even though in agony, the release is the pain killer
Good job DR, Enoch, you make it look easy.
I can not believe how easy you made that look! You are a wonderful vet!
Love the “Distraction” device. That is awesome!!
You are so awesome! Love the way you work with animals so impressive.
What a wonderful teacher. He seems like such a nice person. I’m wondering how many children he has if any and what his wife does. I know he’s from Colorado, but I’m wondering if she is from Australia. Just curious how I got to Australia.
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.
Cheers!
Lol, that pacifier thing works like a twitch on a horse! Never knew that before - cool.
Wow!!! That abscess was so full...yikes! She is such a good girl❤
Man, those gorgeous toplines just have me in awe. Dont see near enough of those in California anymore...
That paint roller works very well.
Sweet girl did so great!! I absolutely love her! 💜💜💜
That distraction tool is pretty amazing.
You know what you are doing 10-14-2024, thanks for helping that Cow👍🏾
I watch the cow abscess videos all the time I've noticed you're the only one that flushes out the abscess after you drain it .
Dr Enoch, you’re an awesome brother. Very knowledgeable, positive, good lookin, funny cowboy. I’ve learned so much. Now that you are The Man, please invest in a wind resistant microphone. We miss a lot due to the wind noise. You are famous now. Time to upgrade, bro 😎! You’re gonna be huge on U-tube. Like really big!! 🎉😊
I bought one finally!
Poor sweet baby you took good care of her!
That abscess is huge! Wow .😮
Beautifully and wonderfully made, thank you, God ❤
Good vet, explaining as he went.
That distraction tool worked way better than u would think
You had me at “cool beans”!
Glad to see some new videos !!
Greetings from north Italy 🇮🇹 wonderful work
Easy peasy! The distractor made it easier!
Wow, that cow was really going! That was some froth!
I know you're probably tired of seeing this, but I do wish I could hear you better. I want to learn.
Holy Cow.. I watched Otto Kitcher open a cow's abscess on 'The Last Frontier'. Shocking then & still shocks me now.
That distraction device is absolute genius. Have you ever tried it with a horse?
I tend to think it's not a good idea.
Hey friend. We LOVE your videos and learning so much. The biggest challenge is the wind.
Often, We cannot hear what you’re sharing. Can you use a wind sock on your mic while recording?
That would be so great.
Thanks for all you do!!
You’re so funny!! Thanks for the abscesses!!🩵
Wow that distraction device is cool I had to watch the video twice
Wow beautiful team work great job
You should post more often my guy. Your videos be entertaining af lol
You definitely know your stuff excellent job 👏
Well, that mouth loupe is a useful gadget.
Never thought I’d hear a vet use a phrase describing the dumping of nuclear waste in the ocean to refer to an abscess (Re: the solution for pollution is dilution. for those who don’t know, that was the actual mindset regarding nuclear waste disposal)
Wow! I reckon they stole that from the medical field!
She's a clever cow she knows you what's going to happen ❤
Wow reminds me of giving my 1 year old a pacifier when I have to clip her nails 😂 big babies ❤
I always took mine for a walk in the stroller near bedtime (I could reach) then got them tiny toes while she slept. Woke up mani pedi, easy but sneaky every time.
There are many uses of distraction in human medicine and dentistry now including during painful Botox injections with the Dermo people. Look online
Lmao.. if this vet this doesn’t work out, I’ll be come a hair dresser”😂 best keep your day job 😜
This guy is a wealth of information.
Hi Doc. What breed of cow is she ? She looks like a jersey, but I know that I can always be wrong. You and your team are awesome, y’all stay safe and blessed !!!
But it is amazing you never use gloves & do not get any infection !
Hmm...i wonder if something like that distraction thing would work for horses...??
She's a beautiful cow. Thanks for doing some plastic surgery on her to bring her back to her exceptional loveliness
Very pretty cow. Cute vet. 😉
I like the little lesson in how to drain an abscess - but I have no idea why I am watching it.
Still, it might come in useful one day....
From other vids, sometimes these contain fibrous masses. How does the puss form that material? Or are they the result of something else like coagulated blood proteins? I also like the volume dilution with betadine. I see some just push in hydrogen peroxide. Kills stuff but doesn’t flush the cavity. Thank you.
The clotted crud is usually just that...the remnants of a clot. Loads of fibrinogen which doesnt really break down well.
That mouthing tool is a great distraction device
Indeed!
This old cowboy would wear gloves with that stuff....leaking
I miss doctoring...
WOW AMAZING, WONDERFUL. GREAT JOB
Thought the title said how now brown abacus cow and thought I was in for some cow math
You are very kind man.
The abcess drain very cool, the cow slobbering so gross.
Cows are very smart.
New drinking game! Drink every time he says "cool beans"!
Blessings From Texas🤠
Now you know the cow was say; just the thought of that metal thing gets me slobbering. Lol
All kinds of cool beans.
Sie bemühen sich zumindest, die Kuh abzulenken und sie dadurch weniger leiden zu lassen. Good Farmer.
Always a pleasure.
Whoever worked out that pacifier was clever
I have to get one of those metal rods for my sister!
good work , no pain
COOL BEANS! In the event of an emergency, can you use that meloxicam on a human? I use that for arthritis as a tablet, but I know what it’s for.
Good mr. ...very nice 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hello from IL 👋 🐄
Enoch, you said wounds heal side to side. Is that the case for all anamals?
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.

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

Just out of curiosity what made you leave the states and go down under

cow be like.... tf u gonna push that lmao
I learned this today,,..made my week,..😮❤land o' lakes,wi.
Olá! Esse instrumento colocado na boca do animal, é para mantê-lo “ocupado”, durante o procedimento?
Yes, works well!
Of course I love each and every video Enoch. But I wonder why the ranchers dont handle more of this themselves? Round here todays video would not have required vet.
I was there AIing 150 cows, I never get called out for an abscess. Cheers!
Ahhhh, that makes perfect sense! Thank you Enoch. 💜👍💜
Don't you have to remove the cyst sack then suture the hole? I probably watch too much Dr. Pimple Popper, but won't she get an infection with an open hole on her face?
No sack to remove.
It has to be left open to ensure continued drainage.
You never close an abscess or it will recur. Drainage (ventral) is critical for success. Good question though!
