Treating a Ruptured Abscess! Not for the Squeamish!!

[@gailherring6569]

I'm a farm girl and nurse. First very impressed with that half circle gate. Very cool. Thank you sir for being a farmer and feeding all of us, you work very hard without vacations. Thank you. Black Angus are some of the most stubborn cows there are. I needed a heart valve replacement and they gave me a cow valve. Told them I wanted a black Angus one just for that reason. Praise God for all blessings

Wow! A gentle farmer. Lovely to see kindness towards livestock for a change.

[@bernieyorke6356]

I’m 78 and grew up on and around farms. It’s to the farmers best interest to be good to their animals as that is both money and also mistreated animals can be dangerous. I only know of one man that was abusive and he was elderly, and was turned in to state boys for it. They made sure he couldn’t have ANY animals after that.

[@EstherFlores286]

I grew up on a horse ranch, that was one of the first things that my dad taught us and that was to be kind to all animals, they are our responsibility. This farmer is certainly a good example of kindness towards his livestock.

So interesting. I'm not a farm girl but I enjoy watching these videos. My heart goes out to sick animals and I love the way you care for them so well.

We had cows and doctored them up when they were in need! I’m a retired RN and I watched Dr. Pol. Not a week later momma cow stepped on her newborns leg which caused a compound fracture. Did what I saw on tv and that puppy healed beautifully!

Nice job! I grew up on a family farm and it's crazy how things have changed! I'm 67 and I miss those days. You NEVER uttered the phrase, "I'm bored!".Much respect to guys who are still hanging in there and farming despite how the economy is these days. God bless!

[@onebadpenny2138]

You sound just like me! I loved the farm, we had workers all the time, people in and out. All my siblings were home, mealtimes were nuts because you never knew how many or who might show up at your table. We fed anybody within an arm’s reach if they were hungry. I can’t remember not having chores, but they sure didn’t seem like chores. And I learned more stuff then than any kid does now, like respect, pride, work ethic, love, empathy…kids don’t always know these things anymore.

[@tinydancer36]

[@V2k2010]

Growing up in the 1970's, i always had a respect for farmers but as i got older, that respect grew tremendously! This was warranted as i grew to have so much knowledge more about all of what they do for their animals. I think 99% of all farmers are amazing people to say the least! They have to be! Good job Tyler!!

[@updownstate]

I used to stay on a farm in the summer and if you want to fall asleep in your supper plate this is the life for you.

[@V2k2010]

@@updownstate So true. It is super long days and harder word than most people would ever know. They think its just walking around doing different things when in fact, its chasing the pigs and getting them back in the pen. Its baily hay and lifting those bails when you have already put in 8-10 hours that day. Then, you have to go home and do what you need to keep your life moving, such as laundry, dinner and children as well as the shopping and parent teacher conferences. Like i said...most people have no idea what it all entails....and yes, falling asleep in your dinner plate is a known side effect...lol

⁠@@LindaKing-lf8nkhave you ever had an abscess? Instant relief from the pain the second it is lanced! No need to numb it at all. I had one under my arm once! It squirted all over the doctors office

[@bdizzle5359]

I have so much appreciation for you actually taking care of your animals. We used to live next to a farmer, who didn't care for his animals like he should have. Yes, he was losing money. But, at the same time he was neglecting them. It was so heartbreaking. My father in-law bought his animals from him, and they're doing so much better.

[@jmfs3497]

This happens to outdoor cats, sometimes, too. The skin heals over the infection, then that all builds up underneath and eventually blows out. Sometimes you have to stitch it up with a stent so it keeps draining, instead of healing over and rupturing again. It's nasty, lol. You see a blow out for the first time and you think they cat is going to die from it, but as long as you clean them up, maybe give them some antibiotics, it heals. I guess I'm a cat-herder.

[@coolgirlfrozenfeet]

My ragdoll cat has had a few abscesses, and I’m grateful I knew what to do to clean them up and get them to heal. She was so good for me, too. I must have saved a ton of money by doing it myself instead of taking her to the vet. A different cat we had years and years ago had an infection in her uterus, and that’s was pretty gross. We got her spayed and she was fine.

I appreciate you showing us you doing what you can to care for your animals. We need more farmers and ranchers that care.

[@kelliintexas3575]

99.9% OF FARMERS CARE. ITS THEIR ENTIRE LIVELIHOOD!!! You wake up before the sun, sun down feeding & middle of the night sitting up with sick animals. The food industry that processes are the people who don't care. We raise rabbits for meat, baby all of them, give them treats, he'll I have sat up at 2 am giving a stuffy momma a breathing treatment. Most farmers do what they do out of pure love of the animal. We became farmers so the ONLY bad day our animals have is slaughter day... and they never even knew what happened. Farmers cherish their animals.

[@lizroberts1569]

Bug bite, rolling on something that penetrates the skin. Could be almost anything

[@emily.letsendbslintheuk554]

The list of causes is endless, sometimes it can be something as simple as a slight scratch that gets a bit of debris in or be something like another animal biting her or many other options, also they can develop really quickly too (even as quick as over night) or some can take days to develop so many people don't realise how quickly some can develop and so criticise people for taking so long to get them sorted. This one could of been there for a day or so and then erupted. The good thing is once it erupted the pain would of been negligible for her (I admit I get lots of abscess due to a few health conditions and the relief once they have either been lanced or ruptured is bliss)

[@realityjunky]

I knew a fallow deer named Kevin who had a much larger one above his shoulders. He had chipped a scapula or a spinus process of a vertebra up there, I don't remember which. Abscess was much bigger than this one. We got him in a box stall and started planning our next move. He was familiar with the stall but very agitated about the abscess. He bumped around and eventually banged hard enough against the wall that he ruptured it on his own. Sprayed all over. What a smell!!!

A city girl here. I just watched a video where a vet cleaned out a massive abscess on a cow's hind leg. The vet followed everything I've been seeing doctors do on humans with abscesses for many months, lately. It was amazing. Then your video popped up. Wow, you did this all by yourself, although the abscess was blown open, and you tried to get some of the remaining gunk out. I'm amazed to see how your treated the wound. Either you are too far away from vets, are too broke, or else just know what to too. Again, I'm a city girl, so I'm ignorant on these matters of animal husbandry. That poor cow knew she was hurting & didn't want your undivided attention with this, lol. It's so different from the curious & smoochie dairy cow videos I've seen... ut I'd be running away too if I was in pain, too. Anyway, good job. Farmers are renowned to be jack-of-all-trades, and know how to solve problems. You did a good job keeping that wound covered. I'll look to see if youve posted an update video, otherwise I'll assume that all healed up nicely.
