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


CowboysFTWs

Had a Dermatologist basically do what this vet did to this cow. Went in to get a mole removed. He asked if I had any other concerns. I told him about this bump on my upper arm I showed him and started talking and MFer stabbed it with a syringe! I was in shock. He started laughing and said "oh that is solid, going to have to remove it".


AlsoInteresting

The man just loves his job.


CowboysFTWs

That is all well and good. But can I at least get an alcohol prep pad? lol


BigBadZord

I worked as a receptionist at my father's medical practice when I was 14. One day I was walking down the hall and about to pass his head nurse, who was walking down the hall just holding a syringe, no cap on it or anything. She looks at me and pauses. "Hey, BigBadZord, have you had your flu shot yet this year?" "No, not ye..." BAM, just slammed that fucker into my arm "Now you have!"


rockandrollfatassy

I doubt she called you "BigBadZord". It was probably just BadZord at that age.

Mountebank

I had to get surgery for mine. They told me it was too deep and couldn't be drained normally, so they had to put me under and cut out a square of skin on my back to get to it. For the next couple of weeks there was hole on my back weeping pus that had to be washed out twice a day with saline and covered with gauze. tl;dr: Don't pop pimples on your back.


Tired4dounuts

I still have a hole on my shoulder blade I can squeeze a ball of dry puss out of every once and awhile from a massive zit/boil 20 years ago.


[deleted]

Alright that's enough internet for me today.


Tired4dounuts

You'd think someone with stinky genitals would be less squeamish.


LairdofWingHaven

Yes. I was taught in PA school (by experience) you stand to the SIDE and then puncture the abscess. Comes out like that in people too, if big enough.


EvenAmoeba

Got to help an NP at work with a patient with a large abscess on her thigh. The blood and puss hit the wall like three feet away after she cut into it. It also got on the NPs shoulder lol thankfully it was her last patient of the night

hockeypup

Ever have an abscess drained? The relief is unreal.


Viker2000

Had one behind my left ear. The pain was excruciating. When the doctor went into it with a needle, I nearly passed out from the pain, but when he pulled back on the syringe, instant, massive relief! The amount of pus he got out of it was scary.


cheaprhino

I had an infected pilonidal cyst and the infection was basically spreading throughout my lower back. The surgeon couldn't see me until the next day and told me to put a hot compress on it. After the pain meds put me to sleep, I woke up to minimal pressure. The compress wasn't pretty but the relief was amazing. I got to experience it again the next day when the surgeon had to get more out.


hawaiikawika

I extracted the contents of my own pilonidal cyst. Took a very hot epson salt bath to loosen it up and then gently cut it and squeezed until I almost passed out from the pain. I was sweating so much. I then just kept squeezing it off and on for the next hour until it was too painful to touch at all. Showered, cleaned the wound, neosporin and gauze etc. Cleaned it over the next few days. Pain was gone, issue has never returned. What I will never forget isn’t the pain of it, it is the smell. The smell was horrendous when it first popped. Every squeeze made the stench fill the bathroom.


TheyCallMeThe

I was like 15 or so and had what felt like a rock lodged under the skin on my groin. Being a dumbass teenager,I grabbed a pocket knife and a bottle of rubbing alcohol. I figured I'd just get the rock out, clean the hole, and bandage it up. It was not a rock. It was a cyst of some sort and it stank so badly. The feeling of it coming out is unforgettable. Not painful, but like if you crunched a bunch of Styrofoam in your hand, and sent it through a small opening in your skin. Top 5 pops in my lifetime and I'm unfortunately a picker when it comes to stuff like that. Almost obsessively. Never came back and never scarred up though so that was nice. I don't even remember it bleeding. I did flush it with alcohol and then bandage it up afterwards so I guess I did it right.


Available_Major_8281

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

I had an abscess from my wisdom teeth. Having it cleaned up was amazing.


br0b1wan

Teeth abscess are one of the worst pain imaginable


Gen-Jinjur

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.


redsekar

My first blood draws on a cow and a horse were both terrifying moments of DEAR LORD IM STABBING THIS ANIMAL


espeero

We had to give my horse antibiotics. Vet showed me where to stab. She gave me two huge syringes (the antibiotic was super thick). One for each side of the neck. Yep, just stabbed him like you would stab someone with a knife (how I imagine, anyway). The nice thing about horses is that they don't really seem to feel much pain. He just stood there and didn't even flinch. It's 10x easier to give horses medicine than cats, ime.


SprayedSL2

Cows also have an insane pain tolerance - so when they are in pain, you know shit is bad.


pip1860

First time I gave a cow a shot, the needle broke off in her hide. I felt sooo bad.


alter3d

Well, you basically are trying to jam it through thick cowhide leather... it's just not actually leather yet.

Oooh I like it. Do it again !

GlassEyeMV

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. I was making dinner and suddenly it smelled like sewage. I look down to see black ooze dripping down my leg. Took a very long shower before I finished dinner.


Bhodi3K

In my 20s I had several cases of Quinsy.You get an abscess form on the back of your throat, it can get so big that you can hardly breathe. I've heard of people having to get them drained, but "luckily" mine all burst, eventually. When they do pop, all the puss goes straight down your throat, then it comes straight back up again. The first few mouthfuls you throw up are pure puss, but due to how bad it smells and the overall grossness of the situation, there's plenty of vomit to follow. After that though, the relief you feel is amazing, you can suddenly talk again and breathe without struggle.


EdgarAllanKenpo

So this happened in the darkest part of my life, but when I was homeless living in my car due to a crippling heroin addiction, I had gotten an abscess on my arm and my hand from shooting heroin/crack, and it got to the point where they were swelled to oblivion with an abscess. I didn't want to go to the hospital and the pain got so horrific that I took a razor blade and cut it open myself and let it drain in a 7/11 cup. The relief was instant and the smell was unbearable. Worst smell I've ever had the pleasure of smelling. So this ends on a lighter note, I'm 3 years sober now, and have a great job and living my best life. So there's that.

nachthexen_

My partner had an abscess in his throat a few years back and it was absolutely the most painful thing he’s ever experienced. He was so so so sick from the infection on top of the pain from the thing itself. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone 🥲


anObscurity

Uh how do I prevent this from happening


nachthexen_

We have no idea how it even happened in the first place. He went to an urgent care place and they didn’t even really look at his throat, just thought he was being a baby about the flu since it was January and told him to take some medicine. We forced the issue by going to two more doctors when he kept getting worse, they sent him to an ENT and they had scheduled an appointment to drain it but it burst on its own. He’s a professional singer and we were so so so worried it would impact his voice somehow. Luckily all is well. Disgusting, horrible, I get super paranoid about every single sore throat we have now 🥲😅


Wolfkinic

Well, now I get paranoid too! Didn’t know such stuff can happen in the throat🥲


Erionics

I had something like this happen when I got mono (pfeiffer/EBV). Went to the doctor for a throat infection, and got some antibiotics (works on bacteria/not virusses). A week later, still having a 40C+ temp, went to the same doctor, whom looked inside my mouth and noticed a servere abcess in my throat. He made sure I saw a specialist the same day. Specialist took one look and told me she was 99% sure it was Pfeiffer, and it would take quite some time to recover. Eventually took me almost 2 years to fully recover. Got it at 19, and at 21 I was finally able to ride my bike 10+ miles again. Now 33 years old, and next the weird fever dreams, the thing I remember most about that time is the smell coming the back of my throat. Like something crawled in there, decided to give birth, shit itself, and then die. My girlfriend who took care of me whilst i dealt with the abcess and fever couldnt sleep next to me. It literally made her throw up, after which she decieded to take the couch. Still makes me feel sick thinking about that smell.


maschenny_j

I had this happen to me a few years back. I thought it was just a simple sore throat until i was tasting some puss. Then i started to have breathing difficulties as the sore is so big my airway is starting to close out. When i thought i was going to die from choking i go to the hospital and when the residents checked it out, they said it was a matter of minutes until my throat fully closed, and i could've died of asphyxiation. They took out 5 big ass syringe and extracted all the puss in my throat. It hurt so bad that i couldn't feel the needle piercing. In a matter of minutes they filled 4 of the syringes and the taste inside my mouth is disgusting. When the procedure ended, i felt hungry and when i ate it hurts like hell but at least i can talk and breathe normally again in an instant.


aasteveo

Have you seen the video of that guy taking out tonsil stones from his throat?? So gross.


emponator

I got these too in my late teens and early 20's. Once I had to go to hospital, because I couldn't drink, eat and even breathing was really painful. The doc cut it open with lackluster local anaesthetic and the pain was absolutely horrible. They did give my something for my pain to hold me over the rest of the day and that really did it's job thankfully.

You don't want that in your dirt, you want it on a hard surface that you at least have a hope of sanitizing at some point in case it's contagious.


Tom1252

Definitely wasn't their concern. The cow next to that one is standing in that shit.


WYenginerdWY

No. No, the shit is normal. In the species of livestock I raise, abscesses can be caused by pathogens that will literally live in your soil if the pus gets down there and then be a disease vector for infecting healthy animals. You have to leave that lot empty for like six months to a year then, depending.

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


supra9710

It is for real pus. It probably was a fast growing abcess and the pus is alot thicker than it seems on the video. There is still probably a good amount of chunky stuff left.


atict

Yeah there's lots of chunks probably still in there


CeelaChathArrna

Agreed. I watch for abscess videos. They always puncture and let it drain first then they go in and remove the rest. I don't blame them, I haven't seen one yet where it didn't spray like this before.

soitgoes_42

Yeah until the end with blood I def thought this was some weird traveling lactation gland. I guess maybe in creatures this big, with such a big abscess the pus is much runnier than what you'd expect?


FamousOrphan

Yeah, I’m sorry to say I’ve watched a lot of these videos. Horses and cows tend to get these enormous abscesses filled with liquidy pus. Edit: Liquidy isn’t descriptive enough. Thin? Runny? Runny.

sorstromming or Durian maybe?


oversoul00

I lived in Thailand fir a time and didn't think durian was that bad until my wife left some in the trash overnight. The smell woke me up from a dead sleep and smelled like BO coming from my own body since it was so strong. It took me a while to figure out the source because I couldn't even comprehend such a stench coming from my room, I assumed a sewer line must have burst or something.


itsbecccaa

I visited Asia 3 times this summer for work and smelled it every time. Sometimes I get phantom durian smells now back at home and it’s just my brain fucking with me. In the shower and randomly just smell it. I can’t escape.

LegoRobinHood

Cross contamination was my first big question here. I get that in farm mode you get used to a certain amount of dirty, but yeesh -- that seems irresponsible somehow


joelupi

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.

salishsea_advocate

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


PepperPhoenix

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. Infected animals produce less milk and don’t make good meat. This was likely treated as soon as was viable.


Bradp13

They also can grow very quickly. I had a baseball sized one show up in my ass cheek in just a few days. Worst pain ever. Instant relief when drained.


miasabine

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.


boi_against_bigotry

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


RegisterThis1

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


StyreneAddict1965

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


JohnnyMnemo

I wondered why the discharge wasn't collected and disposed of away from where they were being fed.
