Ap- plications of hot or cold water will be useful in allaying any swel- ling or irritation. CORNS. A corn is a bruise of the sensitive sole in the angle of the heel. Corns are of more frequent occurrence in the front feet, and are nearly always found on the inner side. There are three kinds of corns—hard, soft, and suppurating. The latter is by far the most serious, as pus is formed, and unless allowed to escape will cause serious trouble. (See Fig. 50.) Causes.—Improper shoeing is very often the cause of corns, but horses running on the range may have corns. A bruise in the angle of the heel, from what- ever cause, is liable to cause corns. Symptoms. — The animal is more or less lame, especially when he is trotting. There is a certain amount of heat over the parts. On squeezing the foot with a pair of forceps, or tapping the parts with a light hammer, the animal will evince pain. By paring out the sole over the seat of the corn red- ness may be seen, and if it is a suppurating corn matter will be found if cnl out deep enough. 16. Fin. 50.
