Insane! Draining a Huge, Puss-Filled Pimple on a Pig

hey there guys good afternoon and welcome back to our waming life my name is Mike where we like to explore the ranch life and escape the ordinary we're going to get right into things today because we are heading over to the pigs to uh actually work on a pig that has a problem and that problem is a boil or some sort of infection or something going on uh it could be an abscess we're not exactly sure and we won't know until we get into it so what we're going to do is we're actually going to bring the pig hopefully up into the aeroquip Corral now I'm by myself today so uh this should prove rather interesting and if nothing else it's going to be a test of the aeroquip uh to see how well it's going to work today uh for us uh we have our brand new Pig Pen over here and these pigs uh the one that has the boil actually has only been on the ranch here for for a few weeks couple weeks and uh we just noticed the boil on it uh the other day and decided that we needed to do something about [Music] it going to get some gates set up and then we're going to go in and take a look at our pigs now we have two different sets of pigs right now we've got the little pigs and the big pigs the little ones got to us they weighed about 100 and 40 lbs or so that's these guys they're running around in here like crazy and then over on the other side are the big pigs and they're over here they are ready to go to market they wear weigh anywhere between 250 to 300 lb a piece hey guys you guys are big you're big you're big you're a chicken but it's these guys that we're worried about today and it's one specifically that we have to try to find in here in this whole mess of pigs and you can tell which one it is because it has a big old round thing on its face so we're going to try to find that pig if we can they're all following me around here where's the piggy with the face thing are you it Hey ow quit chewing on my pants you're not it you're not it where is it where's the piggy with the face thing oh is that it right there no that's not it oh there it is that's the one we're looking for is that one right there so that is our Target Pig um I think what I'm going to do is Mark it just so we can keep track of it I've got here a little blue paint marker our pig is right here so as long as she's not too to or she or he skittish there we go got a little skittish we did manage to get it marked I don't know if it's a boy or a girl we're going to find out here now I have to find it again where'd you go kiddo there you are right there with the blue marks across its back that's the one we want okay so it is a girl and now the interesting part is we have to figure out how to get it out of here um now it's back here inside the shed it's that one right there you can see the blue marks and I think I might try to see if I can squeeze it out of this gate right here if I can get it to turn around turn around just a little bit no don't go back out there this might be the hardest part of the whole operation here is trying to get this pig to go where we want it to and I lost it again where did it go there it is okay come in here turn the corner oh go over there by the water hey go over by the water good pig good pig okay now if I can get it to stay there by the water and I can sneak over here and open this door okay now we're going to try to turn it and see if it goes out there come on no no no you almost made it come [Music] on come on come on Pig you think you're hiding come [Music] on nope he went right by the open door again come on no your friend found it okay you're right there no come on your friend is in the doorway come on turn the corner you're supposed to be smart like dogs come on come on nope little turd all right let's try this again come [Music] on all right we got one out there okay everybody's leaving now except for you come on I'm going to end up with 13 pigs outside and you inside I can feel that happening already we're doing a reverse sord here come [Music] on go that way go in [Music] there where you at here you are come on go back in there yep no come on come on find the door come on that one just found the door without you come on come on find the door you know it's hard to find the door somebody's standing in the door come on come on come [Music] on there we go oh get your butt in [Music] [Applause] there little stinker come on [Music] come on stinky come on and taking forever come [Music] on there we go all right ah finally we got it where we want it of course we got a bunch of other pigs in there also but we'll deal with that when we get there just have to bring her forward hopefully get her in with every get her in the shoot come on come on she's tired come on go around with your friends okay come on girly come on girly let's go hey we're whittling her down [Applause] here all right now we have just her so we can get her up in the shoot come on kiddo come on up yeah you're tired I [Applause] know [Music] are you a boy or a girl I don't know all right because uh she's so tired we're just going to walk her up I don't think she's going to give us much keep going come on come on [Music] girly all right there we go we have her up in the shoot this is where we want her uh she weighs 196 lb so 200 lb which means she's gained uh about 60 lb since she's been here on the ranch so that's that's actually a good sign um but we do need to take care of this boil or whatever it is that's going on so uh this is going to be the tricky part because this is a cow shoot it's not a pig shoot um but because I'm by myself I really don't have any other way to figure out how to do this so what we're going to do is try to get her in one position um we're going to use the backup bar so she can't go back and then we're going to just try to squeeze the shoot down to keep her in place I don't know if this is going to work but we're going to find out so first off I want to put in the backup bar this is something usually used for cattle but we are using it for a pig here today luckily I think she's tall enough that unless she bunches down um or you know squats she's not going to be able to to push back on it I hope okay so here's the other thing that's kind of interesting in here is we have this brisket bar here and what I'm thinking is if I can get her on this side of the brisket bar then I can use the squeeze here to kind of get a look at that thing so and obviously the backup bar is not going to work cuz she just went right underneath it so that plan may be kaput I don't know why I always think pigs are German okay so now we've got her coming up on the right side of that brisket bar no that's the that's the right side I want her on the left side so come back in babe come back in here now she's turning around on us turn around come on turn around this way I know you're tired I know you're really really tired I know okay so I can lock her down like that but the problem is this little pouch here this door that's right here I could open this but then that opens a giant door that she could actually slip out of what I like to do is work on her through this little door which would be extremely handy but in order to do that I got to move her up so let's see if we can get her to come on the right side of this bar again come on girl no other side there you go get in there girl okay okay did we get her NOP crap okay let me see this H you're okay how about you stand right [Music] there how about you stand right there what's that going to do are you okay I know you don't want to be there yeah I know that you're okay that's okay we're going to we're going to get a look at her so I've got this little side door open you can now see in there we move her ear just a little bit we can see her face you can see this giant bubble here so she's tired and I get it but we're going to try to take care of you okay girl so uh let me show you what I got up here on my table we'll let her sit there for a second I think she's okay okay so now we're showing 212 lbs and that's because she's forward on the on the scale uh so I've got some Betadine solution um I've got some lidocaine which is a topical uh numbing agent I've got exceed which is an antibiotic I also have an antibiotic ointment um that we're going to try to get in there and then I have um saline solution in a big syringe for flushing it out and then I have a needle um with just an empty syringe if we have to suck anything out um there's going to be a lot of infection in there and a lot of nasty stuff um I debated bringing a scalpel over so I could just kind of Nick it and then let it drain but the the potential there is that you do more than Nick you end up cutting her open then you have to stitch her back together and I don't want to have to mess around with that so we're much better using needles hopefully this will work out okay she still seems to be pretty docile she's just sitting up here she is on that brisket bar which is kind of nice um we've got her held in we do not have her in the head shoot and the first thing we have to do is get some anti septic on there so we're just going to squirt that in and we got a little bit in her eye but that ain't going to hurt her okay we're mostly doing this just because you know pigs live in poop so it's not very fun uh for them um before we even get started I am going to give her a little bit of antibiotic this is exceed it's a four or five day course of antibiotics we're just going to give this to her right into the muscle and we're done very simple okay the lidocaine lidocaine is a little trickier um we want to be able to put this in a few spots around where we're actually going to poke her with a needle so we're poking her with a needle so that she does doesn't feel as perking her with a needle I know it seems counterproductive but what this is going to do oh god wow that is full of puss huh yeah you're okay girl oh my god wow okay and we're going to drain from the lowest point Possible Oh God we're just going to give her bunch of Lidocaine up in there there we go somewhat topical now um we're going to give that a couple minutes to work hi girl I know look at her [Laughter] eye it's not good kiddo you can tell she's really tired um we want to get this drained somewhat so we're going to take this big old needle here and what I'm going to do is try to again put it in the lowest point just straight up and in I know we're just going to start pull oh my God look at that we're just pulling all this Gunk goop out of there kind of looks like our needle's getting plugged if anybody wants to get a good look at what's in [Music] here it's like mayonnaise okay let's try again I know I said I didn't want to cut her but I think I'm going to have to I can't I don't have a big enough gauge needle to be able to get all that down and in so we're going to just try to do a little tiny cut with a scalpel see if we can get this to drain correctly okay so here we go disposable scalpel this will make short work of it like I said I'm really kind of worried more about cutting her um more than I have to cuz she could jump around when I do this so it is tricky um you know don't try this at home okay okay here it comes there it goes come on kiddo sorry I know that sucks oh my gosh I'm sorry kiddo this sucks I know okay we got it pretty much drained [Music] okay look at that yummy okay I'm going to try to flush it out a little bit I can find my hole there it is this is saline solution okay obviously it's went down a lot the Skin's still stretched out we got most of it out though it looks like okay I know sucks okay see now that thing is pretty much gone I know okay one last thing we're going to do so we're going to shoot it full of our antibiotic paste here if I can find the hole again there it is work that in there okay let's get her out of here loosen her up all right girl how do you feel oh gosh that was she's just going to lay down now she's done she says I am done this is stupid why did you guys do this to me all right I was a little worried about her choking there so decided to get her up off of that thing we're going to clean her up a little bit while she's laying here nice and docile sorry about that I had to go pretty quick there I think she got herself in a weird position I was kind of choking herself out so we managed to do that just in time she's still got a little puffiness but I'm hoping most of that will clear itself up hey girly you're okay I just want to get some of this on you it's not food not food but I'm just cleaning you up okay okay and then we'll get her back with her friends it's okay it's okay it's okay it's okay does it feel better so now we can get down here and look at it it's a lot smaller than it was and it's a lot softer I'm hoping that and I we get a lot of that infection out of there still oozing just a little bit so you can see it's a lot softer now though we got a lot of it out of there still going to ooze but hoping it's not going to affect her eye at all your friends are waiting for you are you tired you seem pretty tired come on let's get up and go come on good girl oh you know what I should have done I'm going to Mark her a little bit better for a reason I'm going to let you know here in just a [Applause] second all right she is now the blue strip Pig and we can work on getting her in here with our friends come on girly turn around turn around hey turn around she going to go tell on me and to go tell our friends what we did to her all right get in
