It is hoped that this vo Page 2 33 matches the value of the subject. The fact is always to be considered in such cases, that even where ideal conditions favor proper treatment, the outcome is uncertain.

Cases of this kind invariably result in a septic lymphangitis, and frequently lymphadenitis also occurs, for the i Page 5 24 matches und and the heel raised. Examination by Palpation. In nearly every case where lameness exists an examination of the affected parts, by palpation or by digital manipulation, is neces Page 6 14 matches continuous exertion as in travel for a considerable distance, in some cases, lameness becomes less evident--as in spavin. This "warming out" process is due in a measure to the parts be Page 7 30 matches aseptic, and there seems to be a remarkable tendency for recovery in cases of septic arthritis involving this joint in the horse. Chronic arthritis with destruction of articular surf Page 8 25 matches kes when at pasture, is very helpful in treating atrophy, and in some cases it has been found that no reasonable amount of irritation would stimulate muscular regeneration; but by late Page 9 23 matches ress and injury, one may readily conclude that in the frequently seen case, wherein contusion has occasioned a moderate degree of injury, prognosis is favorable and recovery ordinarily Page 10 26 matches because of the very noticeably inflamed parts. Many fully developed cases of contraction of the tendons of the carpal flexors are observed where the condition has become established Page 11 20 matches metacarpus is fractured, largely determines the outcome in any given case. Symptomatology.--Abnormal mobility of the broken parts of bone and crepitation mark fracture of the metacar Page 12 32 matches for at least three days and may be left in place for a week. In cases in which it is necessary to keep the dressing on for a week, or in cases where the patient is, through Page 13 19 matches ch it is opened, there is manifested dissimilar symptoms in different cases. A nail puncture which perforates the sheath in the pastern region and at the same time produces an infectio Page 14 20 matches are usually kept sheltered. The same after-care is necessary in such cases as is given in fractures of other bones. Two months after the injury has been done, the application of a bli Page 15 23 matches revealed the fact that in this case the ruptured extensor tendon was due to injury. The colt may have been trampled upon by its dam in Page 16 27 matches disease is, that in by far the greater majority (if not all) of these cases there exists in the animal affected a congenital tendency or predisposition, that, generally speaking, it is Page 17 20 matches ther the astonishingly prompt and certain action of alum in this case is due wholly to its astringent action or whether alum combines with the harmful bacterial products chem Page 18 21 matches met as in urban practice, the Merillat operation is preferable in all cases. However, the cost of the protracted period of idleness, which convalescent surgical patients require, rende Page 19 29 matches ustains, is subject to frequent injury. About seventy-five percent of cases of lameness affecting the hind leg may be said to arise from disease of the hock. As members of locomotion Page 20 22 matches he immediate region of the head of the bone is involved as well as in case of fracture of the condyles, an incurable arthritis ensues. Where the trochanters are broken, chronic lamene Page 21 30 matches ing to Cadiot and Almy, succeeded in obtaining complete recovery in a case of compound fracture of the patella and the horse was in service and almost free from lameness two months aft Page 22 39 matches ry is so obvious that there is no mistaking its identity. However, in case of incomplete fracture one needs to base all conclusions upon the history of the case, evidence of injury, or Page 23 32 matches d before the subject is old enough for service. It is certain that in cases where conformation is bad, greater strain is put upon the plantar ligament.

Where there exists chronic distension of the joint capsule of several years' standing in Page 25 13 matches until they become nearly exhausted may be expected to interfere.
