Flushing a Horse's Sinus
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 เม.ย. 2020
- Horses can develop sinus infections from many different causes, including tooth problems, infections, and trauma. The most common symptom is abnormal drainage from a single nostril. Radiographs (X-rays) will show fluid inside the many large sinus cavities in the horse's head.
Simply giving the horse antibiotics usually won't work, since most antibiotics won't be able to penetrate the pus and fluid. It's critical to rinse away the material that has accumulated inside the sinus.
Here, we trephine (create a hole into) the frontal sinus of this mare. A catheter (tube) is placed to allow repeated rinses and clearing of the material in the sinus.
The horse in the video has had sedation, pain control, and local anesthetic. She feels no pain, and was quite bright and happy both before and after the procedure. We can expect an excellent outcome for her once the infection is cleared.
Someone: "You're as healthy as a horse!"
The horse:
😂😂😂
Me: "why the long face?"
Horse: "🐴"
I guess unhealthy horses were sent to butcher, that is why only healthy horses left to be seen
😂😂😂😂😂😭
LMAOOOOOO
“local anesthetic” he look high as a kite
I’d much rather be high as a kite.
Idc what king of anesthesia they give me at that point
Ketamin bruv
@@mirceacrusitu6620 i was goin to say that :v
Horses are really flighty so they’ll have given him a sedative to keep him calm on top of the local anaesthesia.
This is generally the preferred method for big animals like this as going under general anaesthetic is dangerous and difficult to do successfully with them.
ma boy zooted, gone, flewth
The fact the horse stood there and was patient. It really wanted to be relieved and trusted them to do it.
It was most likely sedated, that‘s why it stays so calm and the eyes look so sleepy
It was drugged up
@@kim.Julie15 that makes sense.
Animals don’t think on the wave length of a human
Definitely sedated
I can't imagine how relieving it must feel to have your sinus drained out from an infection like that. With such a massive and lengthy sinus cavity, that infection had to have been incredibly painful.
As a chronic sinus infection sufferer, I feel for this horse. Had no idea horses get sinus infections too. Nice flushing. Bet it felt so good after for the horse.
@Optimus Slime he was not in pain. More like in some kind of daze (they gave him some good shit)
All of us are about to enjoy a three day weekend so I’ll check my tone for the sake of internet etiquette but why would you think that sinus infections are exclusive to human beings only?
@@jt4369 because only humans drink Nyquil
@@Cjpeel95 I can’t tell if that’s a joke, but okay...?
feel the exact same way watching, we know the struggle! og horse is a part of our gang too
I could've went my entire life without seeing this but, for some reason, I stayed.
Exactly what I said😂😂
Now go learn about sheath cleaning. It’s even worse.
@@amberblyledge7859 aaaaaand like the idiot I am, I looked it up. 🥴😖🥴😖🥴
Tmann 85 Oh dear. Didn’t actually think you would do it.
It’s a “fun” part of owning a gelding or stallion though. I would honestly just prefer to pay the vet to do it.
me too
I feel so sorry for these animals…they can’t tell us what’s going on or how they feel. It’s takes a very kind and willing human to check on and care for sick animals. That’s why I’ve always loved veterinarians🤍
You must not own animals. All animals even us communicate among one another. Just because they dont speek english doesnt mean they do not speak.
@@billysmith7668 Couldn't have said it better.
It seems weird but I think I can talk to my deaf dog telepathically.
@@billysmith7668 wouldn’t say so much talk. But if you own an animal you know when something is wrong they show a symptom or some kind of irritation or acting a little different. Its all about paying attention.. never that much an animal telling you whats wrong 😂😅
@@DeeSlimVision i own 2 pitbulls and a Rockwiler. Plus a sugar glider llf
"Billy speaks" disagrees ^^
I have so much respect for large animal vets, that’s not easy!
Not gonna lie if someone offered me this during one of my yearly sinus infections I’d seriously consider it
Me too
Me too
Drilling a hole into the sinus to relieve pressure and everything. Sinus problems SUCK.
Me too
SAAAAAME. Sinus and respiratory infections SUUUUCK. All the antihistamines in the world won’t stop my asshole body from having one at LEAST twice a year. I got relief just from looking at the horse lol.
I started with the ingrown nail treatment to this
Same
Me too haha
I was watching the dame dame memes 💀
bro, same!
hahahah same!!!!!
The last time I had a SEVERE sinus infection, I fantasized about doing exactly this to myself.
😂
As someone with chronic sinus, I will admit this procedure looks amazing.
Horses are the epitome of patience. Such a beautiful creature!!
Any horse will stand still when it feels like it’s dyeing
Hilariously ill informed comment.
@@kylebrown8891 What colour is it dyeing?
@@peaceforgaelandscot Yellow and red, apparently...
You clearly dont work with horses
Glad that poor thing got relief. Wish someone could do that for me when my sinuses are infected!
🤣🤣🤣 sinuses are just terrible
It can be removed through unani medicine taken by inhaling. Here in Hyderabad,India they give this medicine which will remove sinus by regular sneezing for 3 days and it will give you ample relief.
A W Knowledge Vlogs or you can be like my brilliant girlfriend and snort pepper. I wasn’t there to stop her but she says it worked lol
Neti pot!

Watching the flush was so cathartic. I almost feel as much relief as the horse did.
I come back to this video every time I get sinus pain with a cold. I’m living vicariously through this horse.
This makes a covid test look like a day at the spa 😭
My first covid test was a throat swab, all the ones after that were typical nose swabs.
Why’d I literally think that too🤣
Covid test is a piece of cake though just for a couple of seconds TBH
I legit thought that as i saw this lmao
corona pcr tests are not trust worthy for data
Who in the hell did I end up here? That’s a hell of an algorithm TH-cam.
You fell down the rabbit hole, my friend
I know I just watched a kidney being dissected then I clicked this.... 😷
How do horses get sinus infections??
Idk I don't even like horses
I fell down too
As a person who
1) has been suffering from sinusitis for years, snd
2) doesnt like horses at all,
this video got me some compassion for the poor boy! ❤❤
What do you have against horses? They are good people
@@TwoLeggedTriceratops nothing in particular really. It's just that i don't like them. Just like some ppl dogs or cats ...
@@vindicator05 horses are noble animals
I don’t dislike them, but they have always intimidated me.
I’m so glad someone loved this horse enough to get her help. Great job guys!
Poor horse. Sinus infections are so painful. I’m glad he was treated.
Okay, now do me.
Me too my nose stop up i hate this time of year
Yea, I'm next after Bree Shne. If it's not the bouncing barometric pressure, it's the stupid corn pollen! 🤧
Mister Greis eat some ramen with spicy kimchi
Me too
Im after Anne Henry
I am convinced that all pain and suffering in the body is caused by puss cavities (pimples). The last tooth ache I had, the dentist drilled and when he broke the surface you could smell it as it drained and the pain was immediately gone. I’m sure this poor horse felt immediate relief.
ah yes in your opinion bone cancer, kidney stones are painful because of pimples
@@eli_727 yes dr. In my opinion.
While yes, a lot of pain and suffering is due to bacterial issues, there's a LOT more to it than that.
The father of a friend of mine had this procedure done on him in the 40's when they didn't have antibiotics. They punctured back in the nose cavity, where they do the covid swabs. Loud crunch that echoed in his entire head, and an immense relief when they flushed.
That's amazing. Thanks for sharing.
From what I understand antibiotics rarely even work for sinus infections. I would actually love to have that same procedure done 😂
@@miamiwax5504 yes sinuses are avascular as it is just an empty cavity so no way an antibiotic could go there through blood ciculation.
I’ve always felt bad about not pursuing my childhood dreams to become a veterinarian. The universe sent me here to assure me that I made the best decision for my life.
it's never to late. Go be a vet.
@@markf6242 that's not what he meant, he meant this video made him assured not being a vet was for the best, as in, cringing at what they have to go through, who let you pass school??
@@JamesQHolden you must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed the morning you made this comment.
@@markf6242 that's what I was thinking. Then homeboy or homegirl lashed out at you for not understanding the above comment. I'm surprised you didn't retaliate. Then again you have bigger fish to fry than deal with internet warriors.
@@FSUOSU25 Ok "SilverBullet"
As someone who gets sinus infections often, I found this quite frankly therapeutic by seeing all that being flushed out.
There’s just something so satisfying about seeing pressure being relieved
I'm currently on a 3 day fast, this helped. Thank you.
The poor horse must have been in so much pain with the infection. You undoubtedly provided great relief!
I can't tell you how many times I have wanted to do this to myself from having such horrible sinus issues/infections. Nettie pot is nice but sometimes the pressure is so bad, I just want it all gushed out. Poor horse likely feels so much better.
I’ve felt this way so many times
Go to Walmart and get sinus rinse. It's a squeeze bottle you squeeze in one nostril to shoot out the other, saline solution n warm water. Works great
Sometimes all I want to do is get an aspirator and just suck all the gunk out.
I make myself sneeze it all out, feels so much better afterwards. My ears pop open and I can breath ☺️
CONDENSED f r e e d o m that’s what a nettie pot is
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I didn't search for this
And neither did you!
(I have been proven wrong..)
I definitely fucking didn't
But thanks to this because i did find you😊
Is it bad if I did?
Facts
Truth
How do people figure those things out? I mean, one day someone was like "hmm, what if i just stab a horse in the face with a needle?"
They research the bodies of horses
Anatomy
Well, I've seen it where they just bore a hole through the bone (maybe a half inch hole) right where this vet put her bone pin. The only difference all the junk runs out all over his face instead of out his nostril. So, I mean, whichever is weirder.
Failed lobotomy 🤣
There’s science, research and information on all this and specialist that do things similar to this for a living there’s lots of equipment to detect these type of things
As a truck driver I feel for the horse. Industry does this to me daily.
I told my 9 year old daughter this is where 1000 island dressing comes from. She instantly vomited all the French fries she was eating
and then everyone clapped
You're a jerk, I was drinking water and nearly choked while reading this comment. I can't stop laughing
Oh you magnificent bastard! 😄👍
Hahahaha
Wowww good one lol
The mare and the vet were in perfect harmony. It's nice to see what I call "magic medicine". A lil sharp, scratch, and a sting, and all of the pain and pressure go away. And more treats with antibiotics hidden in them
That horse seems to be enjoying every second of the flushing. He's getting relief in his sinuses AND he's higher than snoop dog!
Just lidocaine
I can't imagine how much of a relief it must of been for the horse to get that all cleared out. Who knew animals could experience the moment of "Oh my gosh I can breath" That you get after a clogged nostril is cleared.
Poor horse. I cry with my petty little sinus headaches. Can you even imagine what this animal has gone thru? The pain, smell I can't I just can't. I hope this horse never feels pain again. Or any other animal for that matter.
Yeah I can imagine
Aw they’re so awesome. Always feels nice to see people helping/curing animals.
I love how horses are so gentle and brave, they let us do what we want with them. They know we want to help them.
Yea.. Just no. This horse was 100% tranquilized. And hopefully under local anesthesia. I'm saying this from over 2 decades experience with horses. They are amazing creatures but definitely no horse will let you do that to them without some tranquilizers first 🤣
That has to feel so much better ❤
Poor baby, could tell by her/ his eyes he/she didn't feel good😢 All better now?
It wasn’t because it was in pain, they used sedatives to make sure the horse didn’t feel pain. It only made them feel the pressure
@@sophiaelliott9455 I think the person knew that, as it was said in the video. I believe they meant the terrible sinus feeling, and even though no pain was probably felt, it would still be a very uncomfortable experience until you realize the payoff.
No he is just sedated
@AunyxTM for procedures like that horses always get sedated. Their flight instinct could kick in otherwise (even if they don't feel pain) and cause huge damage, if the horse decides to bolt with a bone drill sticking out of its sinus cavity. So first the whole animal gets sedated, then local anasthetic
@Justin Guidinger What about horse pus triggered your sensibilities, bub?
I know it's a process, but I'm sure he'll feel much better.
Okay. Didn't expect that at all. I don't know if I'm more satisfied or repulsed.
Poor baby, hope they healed up well!
Awe i bet the relief that poor horse got from you guys was amazing thank you so much god bless you all
Hello crystal
"Feels pressure but no pain"
My dentist disagrees
That's what my urologist says right before my prostate exam.
@@stevewilson4231 my doctor has a big ass finger, prostate exam hurts every time, his finger is like an inch all around, I think its his finger
@@kaydenlewis9246 you are lucky.
@@kaydenlewis9246 I'm jealous
My goodness you couldn't help but feel sorry for that horse
So satisfying because you know how much better this horse felt after getting that out. Wow. That was a lot of pus and infection. I can only imagine the pain he probably felt form that. Thank god for our amazing veterinarians.
You girls are awesome for helping that horse out like that! 🙌👍💯
I totally get the sinus rinse thing it's a huge relief
Hello Paula
Me: I wish I followed my childhood dream of becoming a veterinarian.
Also me after watching this video: I love my desk job even more now.
I’ve got chronic sinus problems and never had my sinuses flushed... watching this makes me grateful about that...
Absolutely amazing humans to love and care enough to help this beautiful, majestic animal ❤️
It's amazing to see how far veterinary medicine has gone, I just watched a video of a chiropractor doing work on some animals and now this one of a sinus flush on a horse
Congrats!
Hello alana
Thank God, you guys helped him/her. Thanks. I hope he/she is ok now.
Thank you for taking care of this beautiful anlmal ❤🐴
thank you, this made my nose clearer
Im in that part of yt again...
Poor horse ☹. I bet that was a relief. Great job done by the vet techs! 😊
As a horse owner myself, this video is very informative !
Wow that horse is so calm. Proud of him/her
Poor girl. I bet she felt miserable before you helped her
Hello elsa
"Hi, I'm Johnny Knoxville and this is the Sinus Flush cocktail" :proceeds to drink the bucket:
Thanks for scarring me.
You know they would do that shit
#Cursedcomment
Oh God the fact they would do this makes me 🤢
Maybe suggest it for jackass 5
Poor baby I understand sure is a trooper Bless your heart thanks for helping
I'm a bit obsessed with abscess draining videos and all, but this here just made me gag, the whole procedure! Nice job!!
I know that made him feel a world better. I've got chronic sinusitis, so I deal with sinus infections all the time. I've had some severe sinus infections that put me in the emergency room, so I know first hand the relief he felt. I flush my sinuses out daily..
Great job doctor...
I bet he feels so much better now xx
This horse knows it's getting help so patient and understanding he's better patient than me.
Oh that poor baby. Couldn’t imagine having that much stuff up my nose
I know the horses pain of having sinuses blocked, did the nasal polypectomy and sinus flush and had that splint in my nasal airways and so much flem and boogers drained out for that entire week. Felt so good once it healed!!!
Awww poor guy … bet he felt so better after the procedure ❤️❤️❤️
He needed that, what a relief it must've been.
I love how the animals know they are being helped.
The poor boy seems to know they’re trying to help! 🥺❤️
I saw this for the first time on Dr Pol show beleive it or not. When I heard that bone crack when he made the hole in the sinus, well, I shivered a little. LOL I'm so grateful this country has such wonderful institutions to teach our aspiring veterinarians. They help our animals, pets and the wild animals so much. It is without a doubt a calling.
awwww I hope he feels so much better!!!
Oh. Gosh that looks painful but sure to help this beautiful horse feel better.🤢🫣
I know horses are big ass animals and this us helping them but damn shit looks painful
Yeah, thank God for the anesthetic being available.
Hello beautiful
Beautiful gorgeous lovely stunning horse! 😍🐎🐴😍
This breaks my heart. You can tell he is very sick. Thank God someone helped him.
Vocês são heróis dos animais parabéns por um mundo com mais profissionais assim
What I feel like doing to myself when I get bunged up with a cold
As someone who gets chronic sinus infections and has basically NO opening to my sinuses (smaller than the tip of a ballpoint stick pen) I feel for this giant babe!! I'm sure the experience was uncomfortable but the result felt so much better.
Poor baby must feel so much better! I myself get sinus infections a lot, and to see a poor helpless animals suffer with it breaks my heart. I can tell you Sinus infections are no joke.
I wish I could have that done too. I feel for the horse.
Horse prob like" omg congestion gone feel so good."
Poor baby. Ty doctors for helping this poor thing❤💐❤
The relief is palpable !
God bless you two! Poor horsie I hope it’s doing better now
This is what I need, but my Dr said no. I'm going to show her this.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Man I bet that first one felt so good to get out. As a frequent flyer of sinus infections I feel this horses relief! That sudden rush of vacuum pressure leaving ur head followed by the cold rush of air and sound coming back!!
I don’t know much about horses, but this one seems amazingly cooperative.
Hello everyone, and this is your daily dose of "why am I watching this?"
omg so wish they could do that on humans but the poor guy looked so relieved
You can do it actually. It's called "nasal shower" look it up.

Wonder if the horse allowed the catheter to remain in place-I can see the horse thinking it was itchy, irritating and then trying to rub it off..
They usually stay quite well! Weeks to months even!
