This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Hoof Trimming Cmap, implications of poor hoof care 1.Out-of-shape and overgrown hooves leads to hoof rot and hoof scald. 2.Sick goats cannot forage if they move constantly, and bad hooves take them down. 3.Severe hoof rot and scald can lead to death due to their fast metabolism. 4. Blood blisters can form between the toes which make walking very paiful and competing for food is difficult. 5. Goats dont live long when they are not eating., HOOF KNIFE TECHNIQUE 1. Confine animal. If two people are present,one person can lift the fron hoof while the othe person cleans and trims. Otherwise, one person can put the hoof betwwen their legs and have both hands free for trimming. 2. Clean the hoof using hoof pick. Clean between the toes and around the edges. Make sure to clean off as much from the bottom of the hoof as possible. You can scratch back and forth to work dow the base of the hoof. This will clean the hoof and also expose in detail the area you are working with. work out any crevices especially well 3. Once the foot is scraped clean, you will notice a ridge around the edge of the hoof. Run your finger across the hoof and you will notice around the edge it is longer. This is an initial boundary for cutting. The heel area is a softer pad and we do not that area at all. We limit trimming to the areas that the line shows up(outer edges and halfway up the inner toe). 4. Using a pair of nippers,trim around the bottom of the hoof, going up about halfway on the edges of either hoof and down to the toe. only nip off little at a time about 1cm at the front tip and 1/2 cm around the edges. Slowly keep nipping to shape the hoof. If at anytime you cut and reach blood: STOP! and do not trim any further. Try to even off the edges around the area without cutting any deeper. tools required photos, Disarticulation and Gigli Wire surgical considerations POST-OPERATIVE, LARGE RUMINANTS 1.

May develop very slowly as gradual oozing or may occur as sudden massive hemorrhage. If the amount of blood loss is minimal it is aspirated and a pressure bandage is applied. A large amount of hemorrhage indicates an openly bleeding vessel; in such a situation the operative wound should be opened, the vessel ligated, and the incision resutured. Accumulations of blood should be removed to prevent infection or excessive fibrous tissue production., CLIENT ???? Informed about drug choice and possible risks associated with the use.
