Our Scottish Highland cow gets an abscess drained… it’s not for the faint of heart. Featuring Dr. Jornigan from Foothills Large Animal Hospital in Nebo, NC.
Exactly! It’s all fun and games until the vet gets gored by a giant horn! Wouldn’t that stink? You go there to heal an abscess and you leave blind in the back of an ambulance.
Someone should be holding it. They are all standing there. Jeez. Maybe if he came in from the other side of her head it would have been easier for him. They could have held her face like it is but he be in the cows right instead of the left. But idk he's the vet lol
@@patrickbyrne5070 even if someone was holding the horn that thing is so strong, the most they'd do is use their hand to soften the blows when it hits him, I don't think anyone is strong enough to hold that big guy back
“Somebody needs to get that horn.” in the calmest voice I have ever heard anybody say that. Ok I’ve never heard anybody say that. But I bet it wouldn’t be that calm.
The only way to Heaven is to be born again by saying out loud "Jesus is Lord" and believing in ur heart that God rose Him from the dead then you must live for Him i suggest getting baptized, repenting(asking for forgiveness of your sins and making a radical turn from ur sin), fasting (doesnt have to be from food), evangelizing(spreading the Gospel), praying, and reading the Bible. God and Jesus love all of you hmu with any questions have a good day God bless✝️❤️❤️ good works dont get u to Heaven God's grace does John 3:16 Colossians 2:6 - [ ] Romans 10:9
those cows have a copper deficiency we had the same thing exactly what he's doing now you have to feed them lots of copper in their minerals and their water give them lots and they will get over it otherwise they will get sick and die
Sadly it was because of the lack of help he had in his assistants that could have gotten him killed. Vet's get knocked out all the time over not having reliable techs who become scared of a restrained cow or bull.
@@pamelamorris3148 the look on his face, I don't think he was real happy with whoever was holding her horn. He gave them the "freaking pay attention ya idiot" look 😆
Poor girl was scared. Well done by the vet. He was so calming and took care of business quickly for her. She's gotta feel better after that. Job well done by all.
Holy Cow! 😳 I would never be able to do this. Not because of the abscess, but because of the horns! He came close a few times. Very relaxed vet doing a superb job being cool and calm. Good job!
You do with the large animals, absolutely. They will kick, headbutt, run you over, you name it. Plus they are hundreds or thousands of pounds in weight and have very hard hooves.
Large animal vets have a very dangerous job and are highly overlooked for their talent and patience. Anyone can work on a small dog or a cat and keep composure when it's under anesthesia on a table. But it takes true talent and patience to work with a 2 thousand pound animal and assure they are comfortable and not in copious amounts of pain as they are being cared for.
I remember once in vet tech schooling I was taught how to give a cow some fluids into her mouth she was so strong she lifted me up and tossed me against the press several times. It's just part of the job, to stay calm, keeps them calm and getting the job done.
Hi What a beautiful highland female. That vet did an excellent job. He was very patient, and spoke to her in a calm voice. Someone should have helped with those horns. He had good reflexes to dodge those horns. An abscess is never fun to treat. I bet the owner was not happy when all of the pus came out. She must have been in pain. He probably have her an antibiotic. Hope that she feels better soon🐄❤️
They gave him 2 injections but it's still painful and due to the anxiety built up in the bull not knowing why they're poking around, the sensitivity is at a high. I bet he feels a lot better once the pressure is released and it's over though.
@@johnjohns8166 Yes, I know. I live in the countryside not a towns person. My in laws have cattle and goats. We have land butting up to theirs. Can see them every day. But we also believe in not letting anything suffer.
Poor baby. I am so glad that you took care of her. I have had many abscesses and they hurt so much. My heart was hurting for her. I hope she feels better soon 🙏😘😘
The fact that you found this abscess with this animal I find amazing. Does the rancher get a chance to check out each animal weekly is this by chance?? I lived in a area where the steer wander all over the hills freely. I can’t imagine any injury of this type would ever be found.
How about putting a tennis ball on that horn end. Better yet, fabricate a bigger one like a big hard foamy ball that would mush on there. I want credit for the million dollar idea. Interesting video!
I had an abscess this size years ago, 3 appointments with GP (long before it got that size) different antibiotic pills each visit, still telling me it wasn't an abscess. My partner took me to A&E at 11pm and I was in theatre within the hour, it was so bad, even after being packed, I was taken to theatre 3 days later for repeat surgery. Every so often I get them around the same area, if I get the antibiotic that works quickly it works, I've not required surgery since. The pain is absolutely excruciating. That Cow done amazingly well, as did the vet speaking quietly and making the treatment as quick as possible.
Abscesses are the best! I could do that all day everyday!!! Not sure about the horns coming at me though. Can’t imagine how scary they are in person. This guy is a great teacher!
As I am sitting here drinking a strawberry milkshake. (I started it before I clicked on it.) Very calm vet. Excellent job, sir. Did he watch the series "All Creatures Great and Small"? James Herriott and his trials and tribulations of being a country vet in the '30's and '40's.
What a darling animal I love them such gorgeous faces, I have to believe that they administered pain relief as they seem very savvy and genuinely concerned for its welfare She definitely deserves a kiss on the nose
You are amazing Dr. YOu did the same thing as the Dr. Pimple Popper and you even got the sac, or it would have come back. And you were sooo kind...Thank you...Hgus
No idea why this popped onto my suggestions, but wow you were so good there mate. Quick and as painless as possible....great job! (I also thought “pancake batter” for the consistency)
Veterinarians are quite possibly the toughest people on earth. My brother in-law got kicked in the sack while drawing a shot with a needle and bottle in hand, Never flinched or lost the bottle. Just a deep groan followed by a half chuckled "owww..."
Let me tell u this vet has like the calmest demeanor ever. I love this type of stuff and animals. Also would love to be a vet but id have to hype myself up for these type of procedures cuz id see danger everywhere lol
Awwwww that poor baby feel so bad for it . He just don’t understand what’s going on I know it hurts ! Dang , he’s gonna hurt the vet with that horn couple of guys need to hold that !
Someone asked more than once about a local anesthetic. Didn’t he give her two injections at the beginning? An abscess is difficult to anesthetize as it is, and she was scared and in pain.
My first thought when the pus came out was, CL. I’m surprised they didn’t take a sample for testing. If it was CL, they’re screwed because the pus wasn’t contained properly. Hope for the best I suppose.
I know accidents happens the first time being hot with horn but the second nope that’s someone’s life on the line. Safety for everyone is always the most important
Iodine water would still *hurt* painfully, but at least it will kill any chance of further infection. Props to everyone, especially the heifer! (And the doc).
I had a case of sporotrichosis many years ago and all the junk backed-up in my elbow area. The doctor more or less did the same procedure. I can remember the smell and sight to this day. 🤢🤮
Mind if I ask why? I'm not too knowledge about cows, but knowledgeable about dogs and have my favorite breeds. I'm just curious about why you like this type of cow?
He remained extremely calm for a veterinarian. But whenever I used to help out on the farm when I was younger and a vet needed to drain an abscess on one of the cows, not only did we have them in the crush like this but the vet would have at least two of us holding the head whether it had horns on it or not to prevent injury to themselves or the animal. I showed this video to my uncle the other day who has been a farmer for more than 60 years and he said that vet is either very lucky or stupid for not having the horns properly restrained considering he almost lost an eye
I'm so glad to see someone take out as much as they can and adding numbing I've seen some where they just cut in and squeeze it out then leave it alone and not properly cleen it out
Probably not so much pain as just nervous with people messing in an area she can’t see. I grew up on a cattle ranch and bovine have a different tolerance for pain. They get nervous though when people have to mess with them under the jaw because their eyes are set to see only through the sides.. while our peripheral vision is to the side their peripheral vision is to their front while they are almost totally blind to what’s under their jawline. That’s nature’s design so that they can put their heads down to see what they are eating from their peripheral vision while their mainline vision is to the side looking for predators. She probably has some pain but her reactions are more from the sensation of touch and fear than actual pain.
**Almost loses an eye**
Calmest voice in the history of humankind: Someone needs to get that horn

Legend has it he still wakes up in the middle of the night screaming, "SOMEBODY GET THAT HORN " !!
😂😂😂
RIGHT 😂😂😂😂!!! Like imma need them to hold that horn a lil tighter before the doc get stabbed in the face with it 😂😂😂😂!!!!
I knew you would say that. . . it is written in the stars at night, next to the Pole Star you can see Taurus the bull horns pointing to the new moon,
Holy Cow! 😳 I would never be able to do this. Not because of the abscess, but because of the horns! He came close a few times. Very relaxed vet doing a superb job being cool and calm. Good job!
One word for this guy: TRANQUILIZERS
I wouldn't be able to handle the smell 😮
I LOVE how good, kind and respectful he was with this animal!!!
They all should be!!
Ty ❤
Yes. He is
This kind of vet practice requires the patience of Job, surgical/medical skill of a surgeon, real compassion.
Steady hands and lightning fast reflexes too.
Vets are surgeons. They just don’t get the credit for it.
I’m sorry she was so uncomfortable and in pain but wow what a magical creature she is!
Highlands are the gems of the bovines
Agree.. needed much more wash out. Too busy t
Yapping to the camera!👿
@@jillcoggan2533 Maybe the vet knows what to do, not some random internet commenter
Poor sweet girl
Didn't realize you have to be a daredevil to be a vet! She nearly shish kebabed him a couple of times. He's very calm, did a great job!

What a great and patient vet. But she felt better after they were done.
Beautiful cow ❤️
Those really are a nice breed 🌞
Seriously the Best Vet I have ever seen….his demeanour is incredibly calm but kind and concern for the animal is just wonderful and refreshing!

Poor thing. That must have really hurt. 😢
Got him on pain relief
Absolutely. We all know that you can’t deaden an infected area, and her movement backs it up. Hopefully she felt better after the procedure was done.
They gave him 2 injections but it's still painful and due to the anxiety built up in the bull not knowing why they're poking around, the sensitivity is at a high. I bet he feels a lot better once the pressure is released and it's over though.
It's food and leather.

🤣
Wow! Thank you so much for taping that. Big animal vets are just amazing in my book. Hope all heals well..🤗❤️
I think the vet did well not to get cross with whoever should’ve been holding that horn!
Yeah, he could have used a better helper.
I thought the same thing. How many times does he need to tell the guy to hold the horn 🤔
I. hope later he did get a little cross with the helper. One good bop with that and you have a brain injury...
What a great job by the vet! I wish it wasn’t so painful for the cow but sometimes it just is what it is. I’m sure she felt better afterwards.
I love how you speak so kindly to the cow. I would have to wrap a pool noodle around those horns. I would be afraid that she would shish kabob me!
Got some lightning fast reflexes there Doc. Nicely done! 🌞
This literally combines two of my favourite youtube searches, Highland cows and pimple popping, into one incredible video :)
Doctor pimple popper watch out...and these are some pretty cows I love them
Hahaha
Awww me TOO!!!😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Cause that's what I was going to say!!!😘😘😘💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
You have very strange taste
Right could watch this videos all day
They know exactly where the end of the horn is, too.
For real. They are very aware
Dr. Sandra Lee :...."...I pop pimples....."
Dr.J :...."...hold my beer......"
Poor baby I hope it feels better.
God bless you for helping this sweetheart, who isn't being such a sweetheart because it hurt. That much infection, sure wouldn't allow to be numb.
Awe poor guy. Hope he heals nicely! He is a keeper! Soo handsome!!
Poor baby. I am so glad that you took care of her. I have had many abscesses and they hurt so much. My heart was hurting for her. I hope she feels better soon 🙏😘😘
Same to you dude

Check out their Facebook page. Their cows are extremely well cared for.
Watching these types of videos, and other Large Animal procedures, helps to calm my nerves about my Large Animal Labs for my Vet Tech program.
How about putting a tennis ball on that horn end. Better yet, fabricate a bigger one like a big hard foamy ball that would mush on there. I want credit for the million dollar idea. Interesting video!
That's a great idea and an easy fix!!
Or a pool Noodle
People have Benn putting balls on horse forever. My goat has tennis balls on his right now. Nothing new.
Seriously you should look into that, maybe there is a patent idea there ready to be in every large animal vet kit.
Great Idea!!

damn man i give you mad respect on how you handled it, and how you took a horn to the head with a headbutt like a boss and kept on goin

Love highlands! So beautiful! Great job doc!
I wonder how Dr. Pimple Popper would handle this one. That must have been very painful for the animal before, during, and after the procedure.
Incredibly painful. You can tell with every movement he made.
She probably would give him a shot around the neck for pain that's for sure. 🥺
She was numbed before the procedure
Oftentimes, animals are more upset by being restrained than by the procedure itself.
Poor cow. Brave vet. Scary horns! There has got to be a better way to do this that keeps it safe for the vet!
Wow gentle and professional. How caring!
What a darling animal I love them such gorgeous faces, I have to believe that they administered pain relief as they seem very savvy and genuinely concerned for its welfare
She definitely deserves a kiss on the nose
It's just beautiful ❤️ to see how kind they are to their livestock!
What an amazing educator! You did fantastic!
What a great Doctor. Thank you for caring for this Beautiful animal. God Bless you....
oh my God that had to have hurt!! both the infection first, then the DVM digging around in there! Poor baby!!!
You should wear a helmet, working near those horns.
Excellent video! Beautiful animal!
That poor cow❤️
Do they make Valium for cows?! 😭. Bless her heart.
I love to see people that love and care about animals.
You are amazing Dr. YOu did the same thing as the Dr. Pimple Popper and you even got the sac, or it would have come back. And you were sooo kind...Thank you...Hgus
God bless you folks for taking care of animals xoxo
What a great job you did!
Highland cows look a lot like yaks - I guess it's because of them both being adapted to cold climates.

My first thought when the pus came out was, CL. I’m surprised they didn’t take a sample for testing. If it was CL, they’re screwed because the pus wasn’t contained properly. Hope for the best I suppose.
The vet could probably tell from smell what it was. You can see him sniffing the stuff. I know staf has a sweet smell.
I thought I saw him feel surrounds with something?
Sweet baby. Sure that isn't easy for her either. Thank you.
Poor baby but what a BEAUTIFUL creature it is 😮🐃
So glad to see you irrigate that. I have been wishing someone would irrigate these abscesses.
I know accidents happens the first time being hot with horn but the second nope that’s someone’s life on the line. Safety for everyone is always the most important
That was interesting. How he took care of the cow!! I'll never look vanilla pudding the same!! But interesting none the less!!🐮🐂😃💚🇺🇸👍
That horn almost got the vets eye. 🤭😲 Good job at the end Vet.
Iodine water would still *hurt* painfully, but at least it will kill any chance of further infection. Props to everyone, especially the heifer! (And the doc).
Maybe they should invest in some corks for the pointy ends of the horns. I saw it somewhere in a cartoon and it worked great.

Yes! I believe ACME makes those - Beep Beep!

Lol. I always talked to the cows n calves when pain was involved. Just like him. Its ok. You'll feel better. Haha. I love it
Vet is excellent. Knows what he is doing.
Ok I was wondering what the heck, a pimple? Now it makes sense, an abscess, cleaned out many of those!
Great Job Doc !!
I would be fuming if I were that vet! Hope he said something off camera.
If that person was a tech or vet intern I bet they did get a ‘talking to’!
Spoken like people who haven't a clue what their talking about. Can you post a video of you holding a cows horns while it whips it's head?
Well, it depends. If it were in west Texas with a bunch of cowboys he wouldn’t say anything because it would be cheaper on his dental plan.
I had a case of sporotrichosis many years ago and all the junk backed-up in my elbow area. The doctor more or less did the same procedure. I can remember the smell and sight to this day. 🤢🤮
I live here in Niagara, my son has moved there for his work. He’s a good man.
