Live stock : a cyclopedia for the farmer and stock owner including the breeding, care, feeding and management of horses, cattle, swine, sheep and poultry with a special department on dairying : being also a complete stock doctor : with one thousand explanatory engravings . toe, working out of the lameness with exercisein the earlier stages, but the lameness is often permanent through all thesubsequent stages. Causes.—Severe concussion on the ends of the bones in the joint How to know it.—There will ])e the charactei-istic bone spavin lame-ness, but the disease will show no outward marks. A very sure test is todrive the horse enough to warm him up and get the spavin to workingwell, then let him stand half an hour, then take the toe of the foot of thelame leg in your hand and raise it as high as possible so as to Hex thehock joint. Hold it there two or three minutes, then drop it and rushthe horse off on a smart trot. If it is spavin he will go off on three legsfor a few steps, and bring the toe down first as he warms up again, andafter a little will go all right until stopped and allowed to cool. What to Do.—When it is satisfactorily located give it the same treat-ment prescribed for bone spavin. LEGS OP THE HORSE, THEIR ACCIDENTS AND DISEASES. 321.
