[@DanceintheRaine666]

My pupper had not been to our cabin in TWO weeks (as we missed a weekend there) and she was so excited, running around on the gravel, rocks & terrain that she began to show subtle signs of pain to which I myself was oblivious...but she did not stop herself. I made her come to me & I examined her feet & was astounded to see she was bleeding and had, in a very short few minutes, torn up her pads. I treated her feet by cleaning them and I devised a bandage out of many of my fluffy socks...folding up a pad (to which I applied an antibiotic medicine with analgesic qualities) under each paw. I then put a sock on each foot,, securing them with duct tape above where her declaws were with a belt of tape which was tight enough to hold them in place without constricting blood flow. She looked adorable and was comfortable with the temporary solution. Our cabin is water access only and for both human and animal injuries, we would not boat back (or call the heli-ambulance) unless an injury was life threatening. Had my small son not noticed her pain I would NOT have checked her as the pain (at that point) did not stop her tearing around at top speed & bounding in the air in all-out Wheatie glee. Without his concern, I would have assumed...from her undiminished velocity and excitement...that she was uninjured. He is, however, very empathic towards animals and feels both their intense emotions & spikes of contrary emotions that I myself am oblivious to....but I trust his ability and so, simply called her to me. I am SO GLAD I listened to my tiny manling as her injury did not worsen due to my swift intervention (at HIS request) & my rather crude attempt at a temporary fix. She "settled down" and walked around rather gingerly (but without setting off the child's alarm) for the rest of the day/weekend, so we simply took her in on the Monday & had her cleared by the vet. She needed no treatment and was healing nicely, he said. I checked her feet each night (to access if I needed to boat her in before Sunday night) replacing the inner pads and reapplying the outer protective socks. The injury occurred late Friday night after we arrived (as we were unpacking the boat & setting up the cabin) and boating on THAT lake and river is super dangerous in the dark...so you don't rush down for any minor human or critter injury. The point was, she was wearing the adhoc bandages and the vet himself LAUGHED and LAUGHED as I tended towards wearing mismatched "pairs" of these really cute fluffy socks and she had on one (if memory serves correct) zebra striped sock, one black & white striped sock, a hot neon pink sock and a pink polka dot sock. It's so important to listen to those more intuitive than oneself...even those itty bitty humans...as it's astounding how fast she injured herself. Had I ignored him, her injuries would have been far worse. One of our neighbours further up the lake is a vet-tech, so we called her on the marine radio and she agreed to boat down in the morning to check her feet and assess if I SHOULD take her in THAT morning...or if she, Nomie, deemed it safe to wait until Monday. She kindly arrived slightly after dawn, gently examined her feet, assessed her moments and mood, complimented my small son & reassured him it was unnecessary to boat her down prior to the scheduled return trip the next evening before dusk. The kindness of people is such a beautiful thing...and we can learn from the smallest and youngest, as well as peers & those older than oneself. It SEEMS preternatural (but is simply natural) how PERCEPTIVE certain rare human beings ARE. I've never met anyone who shares my son's sensitivity, but I trust it implicitly, as I know he is invariably right when he feels any creature needs to be checked.

[@axuwu6939]

@@DanceintheRaine666 This is an incredible story, your son is very gifted! I’m glad the pupper is okay. It’s hard to realize that they’re hurting when they tend to prioritize their excitement over their pain. My own dog once jumped off a whole CLIFF to get to us faster, and he was running up to us so happily that we didn’t even notice him limping at first! It was a pretty short cliff luckily, but it really goes to show how much these precious animals love us and love everything in life, and they won’t let anything get in their way

I love how you were so kind to the farmer. He wasn't sure of the issue and tried his best to care of it until he could fined someone more suitable. He did take the proper steps in animal management.

[@McShaganpronouncedShaegen]

Just a suggestion. A small strong neodymium magnet would be ideal to check if there was any of that old nail still in the wound. Lots of those things can break off and even though you pulled it out you can't tell if you got it all by looking at what you removed. A small magnet would stick to the hoof. Then a large one could pull out the remainder of the nail with out the need to cut into the flesh causing more damage. I am sure some of these ulcers could have been cause by punctures that are no longer apparent. Checking them all with a magnet could help even if only 1 in a hundred had some type of nail or screw left deep inside. A quick magnet test over any problem area would not add to much time to the process and if it saved just one cow it would have been well worth the small investment.

[@snowmiaow]

[@DanceintheRaine666]

@@benmccanain5504 in my experience, some/many animals respond to your emotion. We were taught as little kids to be both aware of our emotions and that of the much larger more powerful farm animals. We learned you can not feel fear (not merely feign fearlessness, but simply feel no fear) when dealing with animals who could seriously injure you if they themselves are hurt or shocked. When you feel a deep and genuine love and respect for animals, they sense that and are far more calm than they might otherwise be. Yes, the legs are immobilized, but a frightened animal will almost invariably freeK out if a farrier gets ANGRY, but if they remain CALM, the horse (in this case) calms down. Animals respond to LOVE and COMPASSION as well as FEAR, and anyone who works well with animals knows not to fear them, as that emotion is transfered to the perhaps already frightened animal, and can, in the case of predator species, provoke an attack, and in the case of prey species (such as cows & horses) intensify their flight instincts. You have to calm them regardless if they are restrained or not. I've seen a horse go ballistic when treated by an angry farrier, which could injure the animal (or the farrier). We would never entrust an animal to a vet or farrier who himself did not have a calm loving and gentle personality. Even the most frightened animal, in my experience, will realize you are trying to help them if you remain calm (even if they are frightened or in pain). Even the most abused creatures respond to love and patience. It's rather inspiring.

It's also used as a protective spray on the teats after milking! The teat canals stay open for a while after milking and chlorhexidine helps prevent bacteria from entering the canals. :)

Me too: what, chlorhexadine? Dentist suggested this for my gums and at first a dermatologist prescribed me for some big rash and I don't remember well but I felt at the time that it caused some slight allergic reaction and didn't use it; so years later with my problem gums in the area where I had big work done for caps, the gums would always be reddish for years but one day I took a chance and tried again, rinsed with chlorhexadine and days later my gums began to look normal pink and still does.

[@DanceintheRaine666]

Sounds like a great item to add to a auxiliary "first aid kit" for remote areas. I supplemented our professional first aid kit with various products to ease treatable minor injuries such as those that can/do occur when you are far from roads. Benadryl, Epi-pens, "Bounce" fabric sheets (tied in the hair they are a far more effective mosquito/deer fly repellent than ANY DEET product), THERMA PIC, calomine lotion, sterile contact lens solution, chewable Vitamin C (for small mouth wounds, to speed healing) and various herbal Extracts, to name a few. There are many minor injuries or conditions which though not "serious" nor life threatening are irritating or unpleasant. One such condition was the 70+ mosquito bites on a fat little toddler paw (which had poked out from the velcro opening of his bespoke "hermetically sealed" mosquito shield) one night. It was as if he had a GLOVE of mosquito bites covering every surface of his exposed fist. He was horribly (understandably) upset and a dear neighbor was prepared whereas I (who was new to lake life) had no such knowledge. Denise calmed him and administered Benadryl and coated his ravioli fist with calamine. The incessant need to scratch was soothed and he was far more happy thereafter. The kindness of a then stranger was such a boon to my child.

Imagine how people were 5,000 years ago without God’s True Book. How would they have known how they were supposed to live? How would they have known how they were supposed to be in order to please their Creator? So God gave the law of Moses back then. This law was for the people to know how to be. They saw what God expected out of them. God had high expectations from the Israelites. Why shouldn't He? Should He drop His expectations for love and grace? If He drops His expectations to accommodate what man wants, then He compromised His perfection for man’s imperfection. Does a Perfect God compromise His perfection? So God has expectations once He tells His creation how He wants things. His love and grace gives His creation time to change. He is willing to help them change if they ask Him. Then His creation, while repenting or changing to do His will, see His Beauty. This is a relationship formed now with the Creator. If He is the Most Beautiful Being, which He is, how can His creation not want to obey Him? How can His creation not want to please Him? The reason why is because of foolishness. Man loves his own foolishness rather than God’s wisdom, Jn 3:19. Man loves his sin. If anyone loves himself, he will stay in sin. So man who stays in sin rejects his perfect Creator or Father, and exchanges it for his own foolishness. So now fast forward to today where we have God’s True Book. We officially know what God wants. God gave His creation a big help, the Word, to show us how He wants us to live. If we follow His perfect teachings, we all live with perfect peace, love, joy and unity. This is His perfect design for His children's lives. When we go against His perfect design for what we want, sin, we throw away that perfect plan. We throw away that perfect peace, love, joy and unity. Giving up these things is foolish. So sinning against God proves to be the worst plan for us! God wanted to help mankind. God wanted to save man from his foolishness. He wanted to help us the best way possible because He is Good. The best and only way to do it, as God saw fit, was to give mankind His Son. Why? The Son is the Word, Jn 1:1. The Word always obeys the Father's will. The Father's will is spoken through His Word. The Word proceeds forth from the Father's will and mind. So the Word that God speaks is the pure sequel to what was inside the Father's mind and heart. Jesus is that perfection manifest. He is the physical embodiment of God's will and thought. God's will and thought is expressed through His Word. Jesus, the human part, is the perfect, physical expression of God. Jesus, the human part that walked this earth, came to teach us the perfect will of God. How? He did this by example. This is why Jesus walked this earth perfectly without sinning. So Jesus taught us perfectly. He even was willing to die not only death, but the death He did not deserve since He never sinned against God the Father. He chose to give His life. That's why Jesus says no man forces Him to lay down His life, He chose to lay it down, Jn 10:18. God wanted to save mankind. Jesus wants what the Father wants. The Word always obeys the will. He shed even His perfect, pure blood for us. His blood is the fulfillment of perfect obedience to the Father. Why? Because the Son asked 3 times in the Garden, "Take my cup not by my will but by yours." The Father said the Son still had to shed His blood on the cross. The Son obeyed the Father's will over His own. So the blood was shed for that purpose. Nobody else had that kind of blood. Nobody else pleased the Father perfectly like the Son. So now instead of the law of Moses showing us the way to live rightly in God's eyes, we have the Son. This is the New Covenant. In Jesus and His blood, we now obey Him instead of the Mosaic law as part of this new agreement between man and God. So as man wants to live rightly to please His Creator, man now must turn to the Word of the Creator. So obeying the perfect teachings of Jesus brings us to how God wants us to live. The Son conquered the grave. The grave is the end of all who sin. The grave is the payment for sin. Satan founded the grave. How? Because Satan started death by being the first to sin against Almighty God. Jesus destroyed Satan's creation and fulfills the very first prophecy spoken of the Savior in Genesis 3:15. That's why Jesus came to "...destroy the works of the devil," 1 Jn 3:8. Satan came to ruin God's Creation with sin. Jesus came to ruin Satan's creation, death, with perfect obedience, which His blood shed proves. That's why in His blood, there is life. So the Gospel is God's reconciliation with man. How? Only through the Son. If you disobey the Son, you disobey the Father. Jesus says, “He who has seen me has seen the Father,” Jn 14:9. Repent and accept Jesus as Your Lord NOW!!! Then start to read the Gospels and obey His commands. Follow Jesus only, no other man, no religion. Only Jesus. Imagine how people were 5,000 years ago without God’s True Book.

[@DanceintheRaine666]

I loved how the nurses were so loving, empowering and kind to my former hubster during the 9 months he was hospitalized following two strokes on January 8, 2008. Doctors could cause him to spiral into depression or sadness with some off the cuff comment such as "His moving his leg is 'nothing to be excited about, when he can WALK, be excited about THAT" and "You're going to plateau and no amount of effort will yield a positive result" and "What you do not recover in X days/weeks/months...you will NEVER regain." Each of which is bulldhit and unkind. The NURSES who overheard such comments bristled with protective anger and when I questioned THEM after these "Profesionals" had left, they felt such comments were detrimental. It took a lot of time & energy to help him not spiral into the depths of depression, and in sk many cases, I who was there almost every day for 8 or more hours a day, saw many instances where Doctors made ABI patients feel much worse EMOTIONALLY than they had prior to their daily visit. I saw innumerable instances of love and kindness given to such patients: a gentle hand on a shoulder to comfort, waves of compassion or repressed anger at said Doctors, so many loving PROFESSIONAL kindnesses which HELPED their patients. I endeavored to THANK each and every nurse who cared for my loved one (whether they had overseen his safety at night when I was absent) or during the day when I observed them being empathic and compassionate to any of their patients. What surprised me was their reactions to my simple voiced positive truths: as clearly FEW PEOPLE thank them for the incredible job they do. So, THANK YOU for the kindnesses you extend to your human patients. I suspect you KNOW such small things help, but I can attest THEY HELP SO VERY VERY MUCH. In truth; much of my "support" was in convincing my husband that the doctors were asshats and utterly WRONG with their WORSE CASE SCENARIO opinions. Every ABI guy in that ward who DID NOT GIVE UP improved...those who either refused to try or gave up...did not improve. Neuroplasticiity is a scientific fact (and had been proven even then) and no specialist was as negative and destructive in their comments as were MOST DOCTORS, some occupational therapists, physical therapists and the rare speech pathologist, each of whom told him "no matter HOW HARD YOU TRY, you'll never get any better." No NEVER ever discouraged a patient from TRYING their best and being EXCITED about each small improvement. I can not even begin to imagine the "recovery rate" of ABI/TBI patients WERE NURSES not there to undo the damage done by their supposed "superiors". What I saw day in day our was nothing short of incredible. Well done.

Im absolutely hooked. Tremendous skill involved here. Really enjoy the professionalism, true animal husbandry. Respect from agricultural Suffolk in England

[@internetspookies]

these kinds of videos, along with bat rescue videos and such, are what made me want to be a veterinarian. Kind people helping animals who can’t vocalize when they’re in pain or need help. That’s the kinda person i wanna be! :^)

[@DanceintheRaine666]

My mom gave our vets a framed print of the Will Rogers quote: Personally, I have always felt that the best doctor in the world is the Veterinarian. He can't ask his patients what is the matter...he's just got to know.". She was an RN and had a great reverence for Doctors of all sorts...but she valued the vets even higher.

[@anthonyjames4319]

I would not have guessed that the cure to a small hole is to carve out a huge hole.

[@grass7864]

If I'm not mistaken, that's how a dentist treats cavities as well.

[@ryangrant493]

Does the cow feel any pain when going that low to tissue? If so, I’m guessing that it’s simply a necessary procedure to have to cut away at the cows hoof flesh area to clean it. Just wondering how sensitive they are when you get to that tissue level?? Amazing work!!

[@NatetheHoofGuy]

You need to remove the loose hoof so debris doesn’t get packed under it causing additional problems. The cows natural response is to release that damaged sole. We just help it along.

[@Jimmy_in_Mexico]

@@NatetheHoofGuy do you ever do follow up and check to see if it hasn't gotten reinfected from the fecal material and urine that they stand in all day long

[@NatetheHoofGuy]

@@Jimmy_in_Mexico These cows are on pasture much of the year and yes I do follow ups. Here’s hers …kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3fKfZJul8yDack

[@Jimmy_in_Mexico]

@@NatetheHoofGuy that is great progress. Thanks for your response.

[@DanceintheRaine666]

Nate, is it unfeasible to drag a magnet over the pasture? We had a mere 7.35 acres and we kids periodically dragged magnets over the surface of the soil to remove any metal which might have worked its way to the surface, the rationale being our cows & horses would be protected by this preventative step. We DID inevitably find screws, nails & pieces of sharp metal but maybe our parents were just keeping us busy with a pointless task, which would be hilarious. I am curious as to the practiCOWity of this.

[@meldembinski3274]

Cute how they tend to rest on their ankles while he works. You can clearly tell he's gentle enough that they're comfortable. I get scared clicking on any other videos- no need to when Nate has rhe compassion im looking for. I miss being around cows, always appreciate the videos!

[@zariahgonzalez7088]

I love how you can see how gentle he is with them! And you can tell he takes his job seriously !🐄🐃🐂 I've always wanted a small farm, and I never knew exactly how much you have to look out for!

[@timothyhopper8804]

I have no idea how this video came up but it's somehow refreshing to see someone committed to the health of these animals.

[@kuuipobaby1]

I was thinking the same thing, you can tell that he loves his job.

[@dandraeger]

Finally, an American version of the Hoof GP. We’d all to see you on camera too and what a day in your work life looks like.

[@GeauxRilla]

2 videos in from this dude and I'm already like, "what no acid wrap??" Love the content!

[@bobbyharper5735]

You know how much better these animals feel because of him... Please don't ever change the compassion you have

[@tomcairns756]

love to watch someone like that doing useful work and being a benefit to helpless animals. Helps everyone.

[@Kinsman19]

I respect the way you work, man. Very professional, careful and direct-and almost zen-like.

[@giaatta9303]

Wow your camera, lighting and angle are fantastic. Thanks Nate

[@kimberleypex]

Thanks ! So nice to see happy cows , when they can walk again GREAT Thank you for the rescue video s

[@rebeccastratton4114]

I am amazed at how well and compassionate these cows are cared for. I'm a country girl but never lived on a real farm. Thanks for sharing these videos.

[@bellarose6509]

This is the second video that I have seen. You are wonderfully compassionate and gentle with your patients!

[@Bamagirl-uf8xn]

Amazing empathy he shows for the cows to make them feel better. Great job!!!!! I have no idea how these videos showed up. But, I believe in learning something new every day and this is my something new for today.

[@PATILGameking]

these kinds of videos are painful but strangely satisfying to watch.... May GOD bless the people who show kindness and humanity towards these humble animals.. 😇

[@bobbyharper5735]

God bless him.. I'm so grateful that someone like him cares for the animals that we don't even think need caring... Your the best! 💋

[@yoopermann7942]

i know how that cow felt, when i was a kid i stepped on a headless tack that went into my foot quite a ways and broke off when the doctor tried to re-move it he thought he got it all but my foot got really infected, when i went back for my follow up and the nurse took off the bandage it broke the wound open and the rest of the tack came out,,, thank you for helping that beautiful girl out with her problem,, just subscribed

[@CommanderViviax]

It's nice how Nate isn't judgey about missed stuff. The farmer tried his best with the wrap. Trying and getting it wrong is better than not trying. He did well. Only a hooftrimmer, expert, would realise the problem.

[@stephyiepmann9611]

This randomly popped up one day and now I'm hooked :) LOL I know NOTHING about cows or how to take care of them but something about knowing he's helping them feel better makes me happy!

[@sarathchandra548]

That keyword - “what’s stuck”is driving me to watch your videos ...they’re so satisfying you know

[@109367]

I wish I could see my face while watching this, just astonished at the damage, holy crap

[@Dr.Cosmar]

It's astonishing how patient these large animals are. She knows your helping her. Or she knows you are at least trying.

[@FrankiePinewater]

Well, I am used to looking at cow hooves everyday because I'm addicted to your videos. The problem seems totally obvious to me immediately.

[@RadDadisRad]

I appreciate how delicate you are with the grinder. I’ve seen a lot of other channels that go ham on the hoof.

[@olmecman3168]

I dont know-how i got interested in watching cow feet repair but i can say this is amazing never thought these cows needed so much attention...Good job Bro!!

[@elenamelena3816]

Love you Nate! You're such a great person. It's great to see your work. Thank you for sharing! Very humble, very grounded. A good example.

[@tearable20s95]

Randomly gets one of his vids recommended to me cant stop watching then

[@tomchrisfield7348]

The hoof trimming table where you lock them down so they don't hurt themselves is invaluable, and sharp tools.

[@mysticmaidensoaps2960]

Poor thing!!! Great job and awesome explanation on WHY you want to take your time and slowly cut away the horn.

[@zabavnaya-xt8tb]

This is the first viral video of the NateTheHoofGuy , thanks to this video we get to see more videos ❤❤❤

[@staceyng127]

I actually love how farmers call y'all instead of letting it get worse and then the cow is put down. Much respect for those farmers and y'all who help these babies

[@thomasjones4306]

I’m a simple guy, this is a simple channel who was recommended by KZbin. So I subscribed.

[@djw1422]

I haven't seen more gentle care for a cow. Wonderful to see, and it didnt take much longer than the hacks! Nice job!

[@johnmatejcik2379]

I will never in my life at any time fix a cow hoof, but for some reason I can't stop watching these. Very interesting.

[@angelinaperry6752]

This was THE MOST gratifying video to watch considering I know nothing about cows but have 25 years in healthcare.....THANK YOU!

[@loisblais3431]

Gosh I admire a sharp knife and someone who knows how to use it. Great video. Thanks.

[@malc1012]

That’s awesome. It would be more satisfying if we can see the before and how the cow was walking. So we can see that the cow is now better with the improved walking

[@DanceintheRaine666]

He linked a video of this cow later in a comment above

[@michelled5102]

I'm the furthest thing from a farmer or country girl, but am a huge animal lover and you are sooo interesting to watch. You are so gentle...

[@peterspears3504]

I don't own any horses or cows but I'm absolutely fascinated by this every time it pops up on my feed.

[@juliegranne6181]

Nate those cows are soooo lucky to have you. You are a true pro. 👍🥀

[@AzureHeartSong]

I like how she’s not even trying to support her own weight lol. She’s just limp in the sling 😂

[@dannysunay4386]

One of older videos I have missed from a year ago! Different cow, different problem but same sweet results only nate can give these beautiful creatures! God bless this man and his work!

[@moon-ud8tq]

Amazing that all who comment here are 👍💚 good kind people who understand that animals all need help and we are so grateful for the vets -- never would have guessed that hooved animals have any hoof problems because they look strong and thick.

[@robertholden8956]

Oddly satisfying, calm and cows aren't interested in political debate. Makes a refreshing change on here.

[@dontrujillo1634]

I don’t know why but these videos are mesmerizing.

[@MuttBat]

Glad we have people like that take care of bigger animals ❤️

[@markw208]

I can’t believe I’m watching a video of a man taking care of cow hooves. But it IS interesting and he presents it well. Also it’s an important job

[@death_is_woah]

I'm so glad there are people like you who help these beautiful animals feel better. As well as you help people who are on KZbin possibly learn something

[@hvitskog]

Thank you for taking care of these beautiful animals. God bless 🙏

[@kp-qr6hy]

Even this man's voice is soothing 🇬🇧🌹

[@leilaclarridge5807]

I plan on some day starting a small hobby farm of my own, and after watching these videos of stuff getting stuck in hooves, I will definitely invest in a metal detector.

[@sawftsawty756]

I’m an exotic dancer and I watched these videos so much I know the whole intro script and salicylic acid and block routine…. It’s me all sad when the sweet cows limp in I’m so invested in this channel like I need some merch to support 😍❤️❤️❤️

[@victoriawilliams2786]

This poor girl must have been really hurting with that amount of fluid build up and separation. I'm so glad she has you taking care of her hooves. You're a class act and the only cow hoof person I enjoy watching and learning from. In case you see this I want to warn you that in July of 2022 a cow is going to switch her weight to a different foot and accidentally roll your right back ankle. But you won't need surgery or anything. 🤣

[@TnT_F0X]

Soon as i saw the nail come out with a gush of gross old blood and liquid I got flashbacks of a bad ingrown toenail. If it hurts anywhere near as much as that I'm surprised the cow wasn't walking on three legs.

[@XedofM]

As someone who works in the medical profession (human) Seeing you touch a wound or anything without gloves makes be jump XD

[@brettbarager9101]

Frigging awesome. I did some work on a horse farm years ago. I always was amazed watching the Ferrier do his job.

[@meganmyers5514]

Thank you for helping these babies

[@roryvonbrutt7302]

Absolutely fascinating I bet that cow was like whoooooh, thank you

[@NeoRipshaft]

hm that gloop coming out of the hole doesn't seem like bodily discharge - is that stuff moisture and gunk from the ground that's gotten sucked up through the hole as the cow walks around? Seems at a glance similar to how potholes form, where water infiltrates through a small crack, and the repetitive running over of the area results in a sucking action that creates a cavity that exerts further pressure, causing delamination of the asphalt from the sub.. blanking on the term, but the immediate aggregate under the asphalt lol. The analogous situation here would be hoof delaminating from other parts of the hoof, or from the corium... but perhaps I've just let my imagination run off, I am prohibitively tired atm =p

[@Xanbear]

hearts the comment but doesn't tell you.... i really want to know as well.

[@babayaga3866]

It's infection.

[@druck7480]

I’m glad u brought this up, I was wondering the same thing, wasn’t sure it was blood or not, and your pothole theory is interesting

[@_Glockyy_]

Probably a mixture of blood and dirt

[@sirsmeche3346]

Nerd

[@DieNextInLINE]

Holy hell. I saw that little puncture hole from the nail, looked down to mix my tea, looked back up and saw the massive amount of damage left from puncture and sole separation. I heard you mention that earlier on that those punctures can seem innocuous while actually being far worse but I was not expecting to see THAT. So glad to see her able to walk away with zero issues after you treated her. Humans will cry out over a sprained ankle or a splinter while these girls take the pain like absolute tanks.

[@ninoangelobacayo67]

Videos/contents like this is the reason why youtube was invented in the first place

[@nanalee1027]

This is my wifes youtube. After seeing this, even I feel better. lol

[@lemony1905]

it’s incredible to see the amount of damage something as small as a nail could cause

[@russells.3864]

That was good work, God bless you for your gentleness.

[@cassiemeyer1164]

Poor girl!!! But simultaneously so lucky to have such excellent and careful care 🤍🤍

[@andrewm3210]

"Hey, where's the ASA powder for that wrap?!" - me, realizing that I watch a lot of these videos.

[@mamamiabenjamia]

i can just imagine her relief to get that out of there!

[@JJ-qe4jo]

Man, I get hair slivers a lot (my dog has short course fur and I hate shoes or socks) and it's so much relief to get them out, I can't imagine the moment of relief for this girl when you removed an actual NAIL that was stuck there for a while.

[@DanceintheRaine666]

You can get slivers FROM HAIR?

[@johnmartinez692]

I saw one of your videos at like 2:30 am when I was getting ready for work, and now I catch myself looking for these videos every single day. Thank you sir, I will continue to watch these. Satisfying and actually a little learning opportunity too!
