Thank you for the video!! I just applied for a veterinary internship to work at a cattle facility. Being a livestock vet is my dream job. You are a huge inspiration to me!
Fascinating that we're able to give this level of care to livestock. I have to imagine in the past this wouldn't have been cost prohibited or even capable of doing in the field. Love ya Doc!
I appreciate his work with students to help the next generation of vets. I don't know if he's getting additional compensation by a university or if he's volunteering out of love for his profession. Regardless, he's really helping the farmers, the students, and the animals! A win-win-win-win! I feel bad for Bessie needing injections and surgery in her eye though. :(
Holy hell!! I’ve seen Enoch do some insane procedures but WOW! The skill and precision he uses just stuns me at times. I didn’t expect him to take everything like that
Poor lovey. I've decided I have too much empathy for your cows, it hurts my heart to watch some of the things you have to do even though I know it is necessary. Thank you for being so kind to your patients.
These eye-cancerous surgeries are fascinating to watch. For the people watching who think the Vet should be gowned and gloved like a sterile operating theater: this is real life veterinary practice in the Australian countryside. There are no options to send cattle off to be treated in some University facility. It's got to be done with the typical flies swarming into everything. So what's the point of going the extra effort to create a sterile operation? Vets have learned from long experience, what they can do for these animals in rough conditions. It's basically battlefield surgery. They make sure it's as hygienic as necessary. Disinfectant is used where practical. The animal gets the anesthetic, antibiotics and long lasting analgesics, along with the life saving surgery, to get them past the crisis.
@@EnochtheCowVet what is your general opinion of keeping a breeder in the herd with eye cancers - particularly after removing one? Would you not consider her a cull once healed??
Very impressive. Your assistant was also impressive. One learned a lot from you. Thank you for sharing, and for the dignity you show to your patients as well as nearby humans!
Hi Enoch I love watching your videos and great job with the mic 🎤 the sounds is 100% better! No more wind noise trying to figure out what you were saying 👏
Wayyyy back in the mid 1980's I was a vet tech, but had to quit when I got married. In school we had to learn all the surgical instruments. 4 kids and 40 years later, I remember very few. But I certainly did remember olsen hegers. I worked in small animal but enjoy watching large animal videos.
Only video I ever got a bit squeamish Enoch ! Love your videos …you truly care for animals and it’s beautiful lTeoo your son I subbed and enjoy his channel❤ Cheers from 🇨🇦
Thank you for sharing!! Great video and amazingly quick procedure in order not to keep her in the crush too long. What would had been really cool is to have an eye patch and a parrot to place on her for her friends in the herd to enjoy!! 🏴☠
That's fantastic. I lost my Vet who was from Australia! He finally decided to sell his practice . I was his first patient when he came here with my Doberman. I was heart broken when he left. A lot of fun and difficult years ! I love your videos !
Having vision out of one eye after having vision out of two takes a bit to adjust to. I feel for her, but I am glad the cancer was removed. Eye surgery is extremely painful afterward, so I hope her recovery has gone well. Will you be doing an update on her, Enoch?
Enoch is the man no gloves just dive in. Fun fact you guys may not know, Keith Richards & Enoch are the only 2 people who NEVER wore a mask during Covid.
Not gonna lie, it was a little like a butcher shop. A little messy, a lot bloody, why not a pressure dressing of sorts, I know it would never stay on.....well done for a quick remote surgery, I think sometiimes sterile settings can be over done. thanks for sharing
Dr Enoch, Will the cow need frequent painkillers through the day & weeks? I remember getting my wisdom tooth extracted, the pain was unbearable! I bet after 6 hrs, the excruciating pain comes rushing through the cow? Amazing work!! 👏🏾
Hot damn I love watching your videos! Eye injuries are my Achilles heel, the only thing that really makes it hard for me to watch, BUT I made it through the video & damn glad I did. That was spectacular to watch!! Thanks for sharing, & those of us that know understand you’re always very compassionate about treating any of your patients.
It used to bother me. Then everything dud in its own way. But once you see the worst of anything then everything else is easy. Cousin is an orthopedic surgeon. Broken arm is 1 thing. Bones actually sticking out is another. Even till this day my weakness I’d say. The crunching of bones. Don’t know why but it does. I just think I’m making it better so all is good. The hard part. Not being able to help. All the $ in the world and still can’t help. It actually bugs my cousin. He’s had people die. But when they come in and people lose both legs. Or ams or all. In the end. If it’s people or animals Do our best. Help when we can and have compassion
Thank God I didn't have to watch when my cat had her eye removed. I feel too much for the animal. I'm an Enrolled Nurse and definitely handle human pain and procedures better than animals. 😢
To be honest, I wouldn't wanna learn about the larger livestock from anyone else, but you! so therefore I guess when I do become extremely interested, I will definitely try to find where to go with you to get your experience
That is very cool. The surgery, not the cancer, obviously. Two questions: 1. Do the other girls get jinky about the smell of blood? 2. Did you swallow a fly, Dr Enoch? I noticed you coughing towards the end like you might have. Mmm protein 😂 Great film, thanks!
Didn’t swallow one that day! Not sure about blood spooking the cows, we usually do any spontaneous surgeries after the routine work. (We were preg testing). Cheers!
Hi Enock, which district were you referring to in the description? I haven't heard of higher UV areas in Aust that's causing problems, which latitude or there-abouts are you talking about? (Doesn't sound good at all!). Thanks for the variety of content you show in your videos (as always)😀
I think the only thing that made me wonder was not ligating the central artery supplying the eye; other than that, excellent job. I saw cattle with cancer eyes as a kid, really sad to see it progress, as surgery was spendy and seldom. We enucleated one eye on a Tan rabbit of mine; because they are so active and so bonkers, I wound up making a 'racing hood' of coflex to dress it. Was neat because cutting it up the front and re-taping made it perfect for checks and changes. Loved being a vet tech for many years; wouldnt go back to it now if I could though, at least here.
One of my two mentors was a fan of lighting the optic artery (along with the vein and nerve). It takes time and the orbit still fills with blood regardless from the myriad of smaller vessels. The key is to get the eye out quickly and with wide margins and close it ASAP for hemostasis. This was the way another mentor taught me and I have never looked back! Every surgeon has their little tweaks! Cheers!
Another great video! Messy but, glad you could help the cow and the farmer. Interesting about the ozone depletion down there. I always wait for you to tell your students that the cow skin is like leather. 😂 I noticed this time that the student gave an injection, do you ever let them do the sutures or maybe part of the block?
Sorry for the probably dumb question but since their is a sunscreen made for dogs I thought I should ask anyway - is there nothing that can be used for sunscreen for farm animals?
The labor cost would be immense, non sustainable economically. With herfords like this girl, they are breeding for red pigment for the conjunctiva, eyelids, and around the eyes. Pigmentation handles UV radiation better. Black cattle have much less of these problems compared to red or white cattle. However they don’t handle the summer heat as well as lighter colors
Herefords aren’t run down here much, most folks run Angus now. I used to do about 20-30 of these a year from within a catchment if 60,000 breeding cows, I probably do 2 or 3 a year now. Breeding is the most economical and ethical way to manage issues like this. I like your thinking though! Cheers!
There are numerous small bleeders. The orbit will fill with blood regardless. The closure provides excellent hemostasis and ultimately blood loss is minimized if we focus on quick closure instead. Additionally, less foreign material in surgical site to resolve. This method works exceptionally well and was taught me by Dr. David Van Metre a true legend. Cheers!
Great video as always doc, huge fan! Say, I'm a vet student from Brazil, and unfortunately most ranchers here don't really have crushes, so these kinds of procedures can get real tough to even think through. Got any tips for these situations? Cheers.
I’ve had to do one in a race once. Just a bar behind then snugged head to rail. Worked pretty good… some vets in the US have portable chutes they drag about? Cheers mate!
Right ,,, why he took the eye out ????? Remove cancer but should have saved the eye ,,, I think it was just a fast job ,, but that cow suffers from that,,, you could have drained it , u didn't have to remove the eye !!
@@David99123it’s not like human surgery. Cows and large livestock are very risky to put under general anaesthetic. It’s got to be local. The local operation also stresses them out, which is also bad for their health, so it needs to go fast. You also can’t do all the images and testing that you can do on humans. We do multiple scans and a surgical plan for people, and meticulously map out where the cancer is. Can’t do that in cows. Cows don’t understand what’s going on, and they live outside. It needs to be a fast operation, and also be sealed and healed fast. Cutting out a wide range of tissue including the eye, means a high chance of no follow up surgery or cancer spread, which in the end is what is best for the cow. Cows cannot do chemo.

The closure is the best hemostasis for this particular procedure. The quicker I close, the less blood loss. Other procedures absolutely benefit from lighting bleeders, but I’ve learned from experience, these don’t require individual ligation, except when extreme! Cheers!
Good job Enoch saved the cow and the rancher bottom line it’s a win win plus students see things firsthand no better education
It is a caring vet who cares about the pain the animal could be is and does something about it. 💜
Thank you for the video!! I just applied for a veterinary internship to work at a cattle facility. Being a livestock vet is my dream job. You are a huge inspiration to me!
Awesome! I hope you achieve your goals mate!
Thank you!! @@EnochtheCowVet
Decisive, confident, not tentative at all. He goes for it like a boss :)

Cheers! As I say again and again, I wear gloves when either myself or my patient are at risk. This is the way.
Also sometimes the stress of moving the animal hundreds of kilometers to a Clean surgical area would induce a lot of stress on the animal.
@@EnochtheCowVet what is your general opinion of keeping a breeder in the herd with eye cancers - particularly after removing one? Would you not consider her a cull once healed??
Yes, but we want her to finish rearing her current calf. Cheers!
Very impressive. Your assistant was also impressive. One learned a lot from you. Thank you for sharing, and for the dignity you show to your patients as well as nearby humans!
Another great video Enoch!! I went on a cancer eye call with my vet once. I took the lense home to my daughters. It was amazing. 💜👍💜
The lens is especially amazing! Unbelievable bit of biological engineering!
Poor baby. Glad doc could help her out.
Hi Enoch I love watching your videos and great job with the mic 🎤 the sounds is 100% better! No more wind noise trying to figure out what you were saying 👏
Wow that's the first one I've seen that actually made me want to cry for that poor cow incredible surgery for certain
🐂🦄 No one will ever fill your shoes, your AMAZING ! YOU Will go down in history for sure.
Amazing to watch and learn the reference to how depleted ozone layer connected to increase in cancer to cattle in that region

Now I’d pay somebody to see that! She’d be the talk of the pasture!! 😂
Well done
Thank you for your love and respect for this animal
God bless you and your family ❤️🙏❤️
What a great video! Loved the amount of input from the young lady. Well done both of you.
So greatful for the addition of the clip on mic!!!! Awesome to be able to hear you over the bloody wind 😂😂
Thank you for not blurring out the video. I really appreciate it for learning
Wow that was really rough to watch. thanks for helping these beautiful animals
Ole girl was lucky to have you tending to her doc.
That's fantastic. I lost my Vet who was from Australia! He finally decided to sell his practice . I was his first patient when he came here with my Doberman. I was heart broken when he left. A lot of fun and difficult years ! I love your videos !
Your love for both the animals and teaching shows through ❤❤❤
Very fast and efficient! Many years of practice and training, I would imagine.👍👍👍🐄🐄🐄
You are definitely the Bovine Super Hero.❤
Poor baby, you're a good man Enoch and it nice seeing you with an apprentice! Keep it going ♡ hope that beautiful cow heals well

I will keep an eye out for her next year when we preg test. I will ask Paul to video when he pulls the stitches. Cheers!
Thanks for the video. We all live and some of us learn.
Awesome work 💜
Quick work. First time seeing an eye removed.
Enoch is the man no gloves just dive in. Fun fact you guys may not know, Keith Richards & Enoch are the only 2 people who NEVER wore a mask during Covid.
Me too👍
Me too
Damn that gave me the chills however job excellently done. You are god’s gift to animals Enoch
That's not something you see everyday Great job doc
That was incredible to watch.
And so quick! Educational to listen to them ask each other questions...always a learning experience.
Nice work doc.
That was a wonderful piece of work.
Not gonna lie, it was a little like a butcher shop. A little messy, a lot bloody, why not a pressure dressing of sorts, I know it would never stay on.....well done for a quick remote surgery, I think sometiimes sterile settings can be over done. thanks for sharing
You bet! The closure provides excellent hemostasis. Cheers!
Dr Enoch, Will the cow need frequent painkillers through the day & weeks? I remember getting my wisdom tooth extracted, the pain was unbearable! I bet after 6 hrs, the excruciating pain comes rushing through the cow? Amazing work!! 👏🏾
They almost immediately begin behaving normally remarkably!
I could tell that having that eye numb felt better for the cow
@EnochtheCowVet Dr. Enoch, I am wondering why a drain isn't necessary? Wondering if I missed something?
A drain isn’t necessary due to the vascularity of the area. The blood is quickly resorbed. Drains are more for contaminated fluid. Cheers!
Love the Fill in the blanks questions he asks of the student, grest way to teach😅😅
You're a wonderful teacher I love watching your stuff. Thank you for sharing.❤
Doc, ty for another great and informative video. Always look forward to new ones

Do our best. Help when we can and have compassion
Omg......... this one was too much for me😱😱 🤮🤮, i skipped the middle to see the outcome 😂, well done sir, fantastic job 👏
It was so graphic😩😩😩 I wasn’t expecting him to take the whole eyeball out
What an excellent video and channel. I am amazed that there was no need for vascular/artery suture (if I even got that right).
One of my mentors was big on ligation, the other taught me this method and it works far better!
You're quite the doc, doc.
Thank God I didn't have to watch when my cat had her eye removed. I feel too much for the animal. I'm an Enrolled Nurse and definitely handle human pain and procedures better than animals. 😢
I love Herefords, there my favorite breed ❤️
Amazing to watch Doc? Thanks again.😎

we used those steel halter to halter train n like u do
nice job pappi
Poor love,I hate to see animal distressed. She look so scared
Animals are made different from humans.
My granddad raised Hereford cattle in Missouri. I remember when they calved.
Poor baby!😢
I was thinking of you. Well, to ask a question regarding US cattle vs Aussie cattle for harsh conditions? May you always have cat like reflexes😊
Yes very fast reflexes for an old Guy Nice work
@@richardbrown2447😅😅😅
Cheers Browny, I’m slowly catching up to you!
That was insane
I saw the hole in the side of her head and I was like wtf just happened 😂
Poor cow. I hope it gets better soon. Perhaps a cool eye patch?
Hi Enock, which district were you referring to in the description? I haven't heard of higher UV areas in Aust that's causing problems, which latitude or there-abouts are you talking about? (Doesn't sound good at all!). Thanks for the variety of content you show in your videos (as always)😀
Down south, closer to Antarctica. Southern WA is particularly fierce regarding UV. Cheers!
What happens to all the blood that gets locked in where the eye use to be? Does it get reabsorbed?
Yes, usually takes about a week. Cheers!
great question, I was wondering the same
Wow just wow. Interesting surgery.

You can get ceramic blades for your clippers. Not sure if they're too fragile for the ute but might help the rusting issue
Fab job great vet 👏 👍 poor baby 🐄
Have you ever encountered issues with hematoma after that particular surgery?
The face is incredibly vascular, so they resort fairly quickly. Cheers!

I always wait for you to tell your students that the cow skin is like leather. 😂 I noticed this time that the student gave an injection, do you ever let them do the sutures or maybe part of the block?
Hi Enoch, great videos, i always really enjoy them! Have you tried the Safti-Ject Needleless Adaptors for bottles?
I’ve seen them, this trick works as well. Cheers!
It's always the Herefords getting the raw deal, because of that pretty white face.
I’m here early! Love how much you care for your patients 💙 knarly surgery though.
I’m glad human doctors don’t work that fast. We’d all look like Frankenstein after surgeries 😂
Wait till you see the result!

🎉good day l want to ask what drug inject post operation around the eye thank you. Iam proud you
Procaine penicillin. She also received meloxicam. Cheers!
Sir Why haven't you done any ligatures around major bleeders?

Curious why you don't use lidocaine with epinephrine to provide some vasoconstriction?
Good job. Very interesting. But poor cow😢
Where is it that you teach because I would love to go there and learn from you?
Amazing!
Good sir
Why you did not put a drain?explaine please
Drains are important when the site is infected. There is no infection here to contend with. This will heal up nicely. Cheers!
@EnochtheCowVet thank you
Great work Enoch - super efficient! Quick question - what sort of dollars you charge for this? Cheers
Just took the cow hole damn eye wtf
The surrounding tissues had cancer, can't save the eye.
Right ,,, why he took the eye out ????? Remove cancer but should have saved the eye ,,, I think it was just a fast job ,, but that cow suffers from that,,, you could have drained it , u didn't have to remove the eye !!

There are numerous vessels within the socket. The key is to close the orbit as quickly and efficiently as possible, the closure is the best hemostasis for this procedure. Other surgeries require ligation, this op doesn’t. Great question, thanks!

The orbit limits its size, then it resorted. Cheers!
Is eye ball gone
Yes, the procedure was a complete exenteration. There wasn’t really any other option. She will heal and cope well.
