this BULL has a HUGE PROBLEM with his feet!!!!!

[@TheHoofGP]

Sorry folks, maybe I was t clear enough in this video - the problem is DEFINITELY in his hoof - the thermal imaging camera showed an increased temperature in his inner claw, that’s why I compared his other front claws (on the opposite foot) with the one in question, I.e. to show that his front right hoof (the sore on) had a higher temperature than his front left. The increased temperature indicates increased blood flow because of inflammation - which is what’s causing the pain he’s feeling. All of the above is why I didn’t scan over his knees/legs/hips - there was no need, because the issue was pin pointed by the obvious higher temperature. I hope this makes it clearer?

[@davidbeppler3032]

Dumb question, why not just drill a hole and find the inflammation? You know about where it is.

[@michaelhogan9053]

You should get a little hand held metal detector. Might have something in there that flares when the weight is on. With the block and meds keeping it from infection?? That's a nice bull... Kevin needs to STOP looking at it.🤣

[@user-wl7sy8et6l]

why not do an exploratory hoof trim? what is the worst that could happen?

[@OrcboyPhil]

Poor guy, hopefully something can be eventually done before it gets worse.

[@ryanawilson8549]

This has to be incredibly frustrating for everyone involved in the care of the bull.

[@DarialKuznetsova]

The way the bull limped off, grabbed some snacking on the way and was like "Eh, ye tried."

[@ivonnecastro3569]

how did I read that with an accent and in a specific voice? lol

[@bettybabberl9608]

I am SO HAPPY that you don't edit out these little bloopers - like the ringing phone, the bumpy roads, the tire noise from the grate. Makes it seem like we are there. Hoping the bull can get some relief - sometimes it has to get worse so that it cannget better. 💜

[@qui-gonjake2212]

I never thought that I would get so invested in the story of a bull in pain and the desperate attempts by the farmer, vet, and hoof trimmers to find the cause of the problem. But I am. Hoping the problem becomes evident and-more importantly-treatable. Keep up the good work and great videos. Please continue to keep us posted!

[@julietfischer5056]

Let's hope it becomes evident while it's still treatable. Hard-to-find and hidden health issues too often are incurable before they become obvious.

As someone with chronic pain, i really feel for this bull, especially because the journey to diagnosis can be. Exhausting. I am glad that you have tried so much, sometimes the universe just says no sadly

I have a chronic pain condition that took me 4-5 years to get diagnosed, and the average time it takes for that condition is 7-10 years. I bet we can both empathize with that poor bull. Sending you lots of love and wishing you good pain relief ❤

[@teri6193]

Thank you for your compassion for the big bull, who has a lovely, sweet face. I'm glad the farmer is also extending compassion for the bull and doing his best to provide him comfort. Hopefully, with medication and time, he will improve.

[@nightfall22]

Dan, I was truly hoping this big guy gets some relief. I’m totally invested in this bull.i would love to see him healthy and I hope we’re kept in the loop about his care

[@Sophie-P]

I remember seeing the video with this bull a while ago, hoping that he'd get sorted by the antibiotics and anti-inflammatories- shame you couldn't quite get what you wanted, but, hopefully the problem becomes apparent ASAP. God bless you guys, you tried your best!

[@margaretm1239]

Such a shame that there's nothing obvious to fix, and it's very plain that you are frustrated about not being able to do anything for him. Hopefully he will recover on his own with care and attention from you, the farmer, and the vet. I'll be looking forward to any updates. Much love to all xx

[@WobblesandBean]

He needs to be seen by a vet. There's likely soft tissue damage that isn't going to be immediately obvious to someone who isn't trained in veterinary medicine.

[@TheXLAXLimpLungs]

@@WobblesandBean It HAS been seen by a vet, more than once.

[@memegirl2006]

The kindest eyes watching you as you explain what you see to the farmer. Having worked on a dairy this is heartbreaking I know how sweet these big guys can be ( and ornery). Hopefully something happened for the better for him.

[@OWillisBrain]

I love seeing new tech! It tickles me that the tools used since I watched my grandfather and uncle trim hooves between 20-50 years ago haven't changed THAT much. New tech being incorporated is a true milestone for me.

[@renferal5290]

Poor bugger!!! I really hope he gets better and doesn't end up..... Please keep us updated

[@kathybrandt6060]

The new tool did show that there was more blood flow to that hoof then the other front hoof. But it’s not bad enough to go chase it. I know you, the farmer and the vet will work together to keep that beautiful young man, pain-free and healthy. Thank you for showing us, all that you do with your hoof trimming job.

[@seriouslyreally5413]

We presume the vet has xrayed his bones and joints without discovering the source of pain. Its a miracle of nature that animals like this bull whose lineage has bred such a massive animal can support such body weight on seemingly disproportionate legs. Handsome animal he is. Hope they find relief for his discomfort.

[@pixie706]

Vets don't always think outside the box unless money is involved

[@NM-ub6ml]

Why so mean about vets? Treatment is a team. Anyway a bull like this is definitely very valuable!

Thanks for another education video.

I can feel your frustration. That's the problem with cows and horses who have to live on their feet. You can't exactly have them lay down and elevate the offending hoof. There are ways to take some pressure off and sometimes you can get them to stand in a bucket of cold water or a stream but somehow, as nice as this big guy is, I don't think he's gonna put his foot in a bucket for you....if you can even find one big enough!

[@HelenMcCallister]

Sometimes even if you can't help heal the problem, eliminating the other possibilities can either direct others to the right solution or at least eliminate unnecessary and ineffective methods beforehand. Saving this bull and the farmer from unnecessary treatment both prevents further stress on an already unhappy bull and saves the farmer money that can be put to use actually helping the cows. The bull is well cared for and you mentioned that the blocks were at least helping some. It may not be a happy solution, but it is at least a more positive one than nothing.

[@izaries]

[@megastin7675]

😢 I’ve been waiting to see his progress 💔 if the vet finds something let the herd know!

[@SuperMagnumguy]

As an infrared thermographer it’s nice to see the kit of my trade being used to help animals. You really need to find the emissivity of the hoof material and input that into the camera to get accurate results. If you are desperate and if the hoof material is allowing put electricians black tape on the surface you are scanning, good quality electricians black tape is an almost perfect infrared emitter and you will get a better idea of the actual temperature you are looking at. Hope the bull recovers. What I am seeing from your imager screen is reflected light as you move the imager slightly not a true temperature picture of the hoof.

I imagine being unable to help the big fella is very frustrating. It’s possible he sprained that ankle doing his bullish duties, such that the issue didn’t originate in the foot, but his uneven gait and efforts not to put pressure on it are causing secondary issues.

I could have missed something in your video, but from my experience with thermal imaging, may I suggest a few details that might have made you miss the hotter spot? Is the instrument in auto calibration? Is there a grayscale function where a temperature that is closer related would stand out more? Also, moving the camera to slightly different angles might reveal something hidden. Hopefully, this helps.
