“Im in pain!”

In a little less pain now

Not much different in humans when they have abscesses. Cut it open, drain it, clean it, dress it.

Ever have an abscess drained? The relief is unreal.

I’m a dentist. You wouldn’t believe how effective this is. We call it an incision and drainage.

To be fair, cows have super-thick hide. You have to basically stab them with a needle to give them a shot. No gentle slipping it in there, you rear back and stab it in. Hard to get used to.

Oooh I like it. Do it again !

I mean, sometimes the cure to the pain hurts a little at first.

Got milk?

I thought the milk tasted off today

"The cow felt instant relief"

Ever have a cyst that's so large that it feels hot and painful to the touch?

I have a skin condition that causes abscesses, getting stabbed is better than constant pain from fluid pinching a nerve so bad you can’t even move the affected area

While anecdotal and certainly my perception of pain skews it; if you've ever had an abscess get bad enough, getting stabbed like that is a happy ending at a shady massage parlor in comparison: You'll absolutely regret it later and need a doctor to check for further infection ASAGDMF'inP, but the immediate relief is worth it ten times over.

My Dad is a doctor and did occasional rugby sideline doctoring. Some years after he had retired from this, my brother came home from uni once with a huge abscess on his leg from a rugby injury. My dad got out his trusty scalpel to lance it, only for it to press right in and bounce out. It was completely blunt. I have never heard my brother swear so much at my father. He went and got a new scalpel.

Thank God we don't have smellavision. Boils/Abscesses small absolutely foul foul foul.

Can confirm. I got one on my leg a few years ago about the size of a quarter. Doc gave me drugs and basically told me if it didn’t pop on its own that weekend, we’d have to cut it.

Swamps of Dagobah

It’s the worst small.

I was just thinking that has to smell absolutely rancid.

Yep that and porn.

The poor cow to the left… getting splattered

I had a Bartholin cyst about 8 yrs ago and it swelled to the size of a golf ball. My gyno cut it open & smelled soooooo bad! Doc told me to go home & sit in a steaming hot tub to squeeze out the rest. Even with the water, it was one of the worst things I've ever smelled.

Don’t worry, I can try and guess. Rotting cottage cheese wrapped in rancid meat.

The smell must've been something otherworldly

I can smell it through the internet

i'm no vet ...but i would have done that outside the stable ...not inside

I couldn't even imagine how awful that smelled

Swamps of Degobah

Just imagining the smell has triggered my gag reflex.

I think the smell was.... Utterwordly. It was utterly disgusting.

I mean a cow farm in and of itself smells foul so idk whether the smell of this would be lost in the other smells or stand out on its own.

Legg nog

Oh shit, man. I busted a gut here.

Tis the season. 🤮

Bruh stop lol

Capital comment. Unbetterable. 👏

CursedComments

Blergh. Love the wordplay, hate the thought :D

David, eww!

Fuck you very much you disgusting wordsmith! Take my award.

Is it possible to simultaneously hate someone with all of your stomach yet love and marvel at the splendor of their wit?

I have never heard this before, which is surprising since these videos are not uncommon, and I never leave reddit...I do expect to see this comment every time here after tho.

OK so funny. But at the same time SERIOUSLY grosses me out!

Holy fuck

I LOLed so bad

Lol + puke? Is there an acronym for that?

Going to be dry heaving thinking about this comment all day.

Thanks I hate it haha

Angryupvote

I laughed. I puked. You win.

So cows are made of 100% milk huh

So it doesn’t just come from the udders? You could poke a hole anywhere.

Forbidden milk

Should have been chocolate flavored puss then.

And brown cows give chocolate milk.

But brown cows are supposed to give chocolate milk.

Cursed milk

Thirst milk?

It does look like milk... does anyone know if it somehow is? No way that is pus--it's too clean and smooth looking.

First thing i thought

Milk actually has pus in it, part of the reason why it has to be heat treated, but it's still there

I need to stop browsing Reddit while I eat.

Im happy that Im not sensitive to this kind of stuff. There are some really gross topics going around in the hospital break room during lunch time

tbh they gave nsfw tag so

Ayo maybe letting nsfw posts auto Show was a bad idea

Pus, the other white milk.

One of three

Don't Google how much puss is in your dairy

Why wouldn’t they have put a bucket to catch that? I would think that’s not gonna be easy to clean that floor and not have other hooves in it!

Ah, yes... Leg milk.

Malk

Melg

Some of the strawberry milk leaked out

🤢

They should have at least put a bucket under it, now its all wasted

Spoiler Alert: this is how cows make yogurt.

I had yogurt this morning, now I’m going back for seconds

In the next barn the bulls make brogurt for you

The smell would be enough to knock out Mike Tyson. I once had a cyst worked on and it had to drain for a week. I can tell you there is no smell in the universe that is more repugnant. Not even close.

The sweetness of a human body decaying while it's still alive is a contender. Worked as a "end of life" caretaker when I was younger and this person had holes straight through to the bones and whole chunked falling of when changing bandages. The smell was just as bad as the visuals

Pilonidal?

sorstromming or Durian maybe?

So do I just put my bowl underneath it? Sorry haven't gotten milk for my cereal straight from the source before!

I hate you

Common mistake, that's the cottage cheese hole, not the milk one.

Right onto the ground… pus and bacteria. A round of antibiotics for all!

[удалено]

I'm looking at the sores on top of the hip too....cow needs to be taken off the line for recuperating.

Most livestock are permanently on antibiotics, right? Isn’t that why they’re not working (paired with people taking them for things like colds)? I’m not super knowledgeable about this tho so I have no clue.

Sure just do it right in the middle of the cow's pens thus ensuring that the bacteria spreads to the rest of the animals.

THANK YOU! Good grief, I have dairy goats and my immediate reaction was "cool, now I have the cow version of CL all over my floor and the other cow.....cool cool cool cool".

Blows my mind how far down this is.

My other concern is that the abscess isn't entirely cleaned out and that's it's just going to get this bad or worse in a short amount of time. You usually see a type of drain inserted to make sure it continues to empty out as well as treating with antibiotics and pain medications.

These feed lots are already riddled with so much bacteria, and they misuse antibiotics so there are a ton of superbugs too.

That's where whole milk comes from.

Hole milk. Just poke a hole and,...

And PETA

Homelander: "I'll be in my bunk."

Well that’s a fandom mashup that I never knew I hated 😂

Can’t believe they let it go so long. 😩

It probably wasn’t as long as you’d think. A cow’s skin is very thick, something that would be clearly visible on us won’t show until it’s much larger in a cow. A cow is much larger than us, scale it down and although it’s still a big abscess it is proportionately not as bad as it first looks. If the cow was milling around in the middle of the herd then the infection site might not have been visible to observers. Even if the farmer did a daily inspection of each animal that’s still a minimum of 24 hours for it to start to build up, if you take into account that it likely wouldn’t be easily visible until it was well infected it has possibly had 48 hours or even longer to grow. You can’t summon a vet instantly. From being spotted to treated could be a day or two depending on how busy the vet is and when they can get out to the farm.

Some abscesses grow incredibly fast. Like, shockingly so. Scale that up to cow size and it doesn’t necessarily need to have been left all that long.

My milk brings all bulls to the yard and they're like "moo"

Probably a severe case of caseous lymphadenitis caused by corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis. Abscesses rupture is a route for pathogen transmission to other animals.

I was wondering whether that was a bad idea so close to other cows.

Gesundheit

CLA pus is usually more dry and crumbly, thus the "caseous" part of the name (cheeselike).

I concur

Now the cow can finally run and be free again... oh never mind.

I’m really surprised that no one else comments on this, really wholesome to make the suffering cow life better so it suffers only a liiiitle bit less than already. Fucked up society

I was wondering why she didnt turn or try to move?

This is quite possibly the grossest thing I’ve ever seen

Brother, I envy you if this is the worst thing you’ve seen here

Then you need to let go of the internet. It's for your own good, believe me.

Haha so this comment section is full of jokes, as it should be, but is anybody else honestly wondering like me if that is pus or some form or rare "milk abces"?

Someone further up gave it a medical name and made it sound like this wasn't an abscess. I've chosen to believe them without any further research.

No mercy with a needle

Somehow I expected this to be more gross, and was mildly disappointed when it wasn’t. The internet has ruined me.

That cow on the left is like: "Oh? A river of puss on my feet? Whatever. Om nom nom."

They're locked up. Self locking head gates are keeping them in place, they'll be freed once the vet is done.

Forbidden milk.

That ain't an achievement to be proud of

I don’t think.. I’ve ever seen so much pus. It just FLOWS

In case you didn’t know, this is where lactose free milk comes from

That cow’s relief is palpable. I’ve had quite a few abscess and you can actually feel the fever drain out of you when they pop.

I am eating hot potatoes with a thick cream and mushroom sauce. I also put some on my steak kebab. This video didn't put me off of it. I keep on eating.

At my uni those of us doing pathology were taken to see an autopsy at the local morgue. Afterwards the lecturer took us out for food. They ordered rare steaks. Those that couldn’t face the meal were quietly pulled aside and advised to consider whether this was something they could become used to, or whether they should consider other modules on the course. No judgement, it’s a completely understandable reaction and if they said they would be fine it was never bought up again. I believe the very few who vomited were questioned a bit more closely. I do now wonder how they handled vegetarians for this test though.

Would you consider a glass of some abcess milk. We also have some abcess cheese.

So that's where heavy cream comes from.

From now on I think I'm going dairy free

This is so ironic considering how all the cows' heads are locked up

Why is her tail docked

It’s not, that’s how long the tail is when they have been trimmed. Cattle farmers do that periodically to keep them clean as they can get covered in dung as the hair grows longer.

So we’re just going to ignore the fact that the cows are restrained by the neck?

They are restrained like that so they can be examined, and to be milked when time. They most likely have a small enclosure that they can walk around in.

It depends on the type of farm, but my FIL has an organic dairy farm and the cows are only in those things (stanchions) for max an hour a day during milking. The rest of the time they’re in the pasture. When it’s milking time or when they’re cold and want to hang out inside they just go in and put their heads in without being asked lol

Lol they don't stay like that all the time. It's temporary to keep the cow calm while they work on them and then they get let out. You don't want a cow trying to run all over the place while trying to work on them.

That's pretty much how livestock is kept, like it or not :/

They probably put themselves there for milking or are put there when you need medical attention

I prefer the udder milk

Forbidden milk

Can you imagine how terrible that must smell

And that, kids, is how strawberry milk is made.

Doesn’t letting that infection just drain there leave others open to infection?

I was thinking the same thing. It also splattered all over the legs of the cow to the left.

Don't you think it would be better to put out a bucket first to catch it, instead of draining on the ground where all of the other cows will walk through it and track that infected pus all around the barn?

Our mare had this but far smaller. It smells horrid.

TIL cows' blood is milk.

Ugh, that smell…

I have never seen so much pus in my life. Holy fuck

I can smell that from here.

We did that to a pig at our farm. It was the size of a basket ball. My mom stabbed it with a scalpel and it broke the blade, so she pulled out her buck knife and slashed it open. The skin was so thick she had to squeeze it to get the puss to squirt out. It shot like three feet in the air and when it hit the ground our chickens ran up and ate it in seconds. Not a a drop left on the ground. We all cringed knowing damn well that we will be eating the chickens come fall.

Does the stuff not affect the cows surrounding it? Could they get an infection from it?

I had an abscess drain a week ago that was above my asshole, shit is painful as fuck, poor cow.:/

Forbidden milk

I wonder if the cow has an Only Fans.

Or a channel on MooTube

Drink up it's diary free.

Most drinks don't contain any diaries.

they have milk in their legs ?!?

im reaaaally hoping that’s milk

It's not

It’s pus my guy , don’t want to be drinking that

Hell that's a lot of pus

imagen the smell... 🫣

popping

Why wait that long to help it out? That was huge!

Some abscesses grow unbelievably fast, it might not have been anywhere near as long as we’re imagining.

I should call him..

Just here eating my protein and oatmeal. Yay!

The forbidden milk

They would love this over at at R/popping

Mmm creamy

So what I’ve gathered from this comment section is that this isn’t what a long piss is meant to look like… huh

That cow failed NNN.

Shouldn't have browsed Reddit before dinner

can’t believe the owner left it untreated for so long. anyway drink up my children

Forbidden Milk

somehow this isn't really gross, even though it definetly is.

🤢🤢🤮 but damned if it isn't interesting.

Now get her head out of the scaffold

YOU HAVENT THOUGHT OF THE SMELL, YOU BITCH

How is this not NSFW

So cows are 100% milk?

Disgusting that those poor cows are trapped and standing in a swill of muddy bacteria.

The forbidden milk

I can’t help but feel more needs to be done here. The cow checked to ensure all the funk removed and the hole patched up and treated to ensure no repeat.

The other cow is like: really? Right where I am standing? No warning or heads up just a pus shower for little ol me? Thanks. Thank you very much.

Shouldn't they walk the cow outside away from other cows before draining what is presumably an infectious abscess?

This happens all the time in dairy production. Those poor cows

I feel sorry for the cow to the left of the abscess, poor girl got a surprise pus splash.

What happened to its tail though

poor animals
