things like this are frustrating for someone who strives dailey to take care of them. cows with bad feet waste lots of time money and resources, so foot and pest prevention is always first, even before feed imo....healthy food means nothing if you cant walk and have worms etc

[@chrismack5908]

​. The "white line" is the connection between the hard outer hoof wall and the softer inner hoof. It's actually called laminea. It's really visible in horses hooves. When you hear the illness, laminitis, that's the white line or the connection separating. It's incredibly painful and sometimes leads to having to euthanize the animal. Hope this helps.

One of the horses I work with had one of these issues. She was fine after the farrier had just trimmed her up for about a week. Next day she was dead lame and was hobbling around with her right front.

[@kingrama2727]

How do the Amish treat their animals?

[@cindyrissal3628]

​@@kingrama2727they use them hard...often letting wounds happen due to lack of well-fitting harness & tack. They often don't feed them adequately & when the animal (lots of horses) get too old or arthritic to work hard anymore, the dump them in a kill pen/auction where they have a good chance of ending up in a slaughterhouse. Often I see Amish horses rescued from kill pens that have serious injuries & are lame & horribly thin. I've seen many, many of them. This is a widespread problem. I've lost any respect I used to have for Amish. The animals aren't living creatures to them...just tools.

​@@cindyrissal3628 The Amish don't even believe in modern medicine for *themselves*... Can't imagine how bad they must be on the animals 🙁

[@scourge8097]

I've had this...misperception that most people didn't really care about an animal or pet being uncomfortable, they just view them as a commodity. Just keep them alive(that's pretty much the farmer that lives around me)... Hell, I'm the weird one! I just spent 15K on my dog who had some bizarre abcess in his stomach that burst and he nearly died... But nope...MOST people care about their pets that much. Sadly some can't afford to pay that much for their pet(I do have Trupanion, so I will get MOST of that money back...get insurance for your pets so you don't have to choose rent/your pets lives).

[@sammyjo8109]

Very interesting. I have spent the past few days watching these hoof care videos and had no idea what was involved when a cow or horse had hoof infection. In one of your videos you mentioned wild horses have a shorter life span. As a nurse I can imagine the hoof infection can go septic the same as an infection with a human. I also see why farmers are concerned immediatly when they see one of their animals all of a sudden limp. The issue could have started some time ago thus be worse than might be expected. I will never be involved with hoof animals but it gives me an appreciation of the skill you need and have developed in your profession. Thank you for posting these videos. They are very educational.

Definitely agree! I don't have cows, but have horses. One minute they are running like maniacs in the pasture and the next they are lame with an access or something goofy wedged in a hoof. Our farrier comes religiously every 6 weeks, and they STILL manage to pull some sudden lameness every once in a while. Where horses are concerned, a problem that can be fixed by the farrier is not a hig problem at all! God Bless 🥰
