I'll eat that here just as easy you're gonna get it behind the gate first and listen we're milking 190 cows right now and dr. pols got my vet since he moved up here he does help the farmers a lot in the aspect of teaching us use things getting out here quick and getting his job done and where we can get back into our job a cow's stomach has four compartments in an Lda the part that secretes acids and enzymes for digestion fills with gas and floats out of place before dr. pol can treat it you must determine its new position in the abdomen okay Charles I need my stethoscope oh my god my dad is trained most of the farmers that attacked an Lda basically you flick the cow and what it will sound like is an overinflated ball oh boy Bing Bing did you listen to it yeah the first step in treating a twisted stomach is getting the cow on its back okay the Charles do it yeah [Laughter] normally we give him a shot which is a tranquilizer so it's a lot easier to roll and there's not much pain but these farmers lost a couple like that that never got up so now I roll these cows over there without the tranquilizer so it takes a little bit of manpower not oh good hang on don't do anything once the cow is upside down the AB amazin will float to its proper position but dr. pol must work fast no cow likes to be on its back especially a nun sedated Oh watch the hind legs as Charles and the farmers try to keep the cow on its back dr. pol works quickly to locate its twisted stomach when the fourth stomach is twisted we get gas developing so like a balloon in water the gas rises to the top and then you can hear that slosh in there there she is you found the stomach yeah then you take the big needle and you stitch it right to the belly wall so it cannot float back up again okay that way now yep oh yeah oh okay that's good not all up there she goes perfectly easy girl okay sweetie get back please oh that's what I like this part already very good bread ass b-complex next roaster we'll know within probably three days if she's still up and moving around then she'll take right off
