Many horse doctors and those about horses are apt to attribute every lameness they do not understand, and whose seat is not self-evi- dent, to an affection of the shoulder. We have seldom any recognizable tumefaction, nor much heat, unless it be recent and violent. When the horse has strained the shoulder, the limb is brought forward with a peculiar dragging motion, as shown in Fig. 829; whereas if the trouble is in the foot, the limb will be raised and brought forward without much diiBculty, but put down tenderly to lighten the concussion. While standing, the joints will be somewhat relaxed, the heel raised, with the toe resting upon the ground. In moving, the head will be carried low, the limb brought forward with a good deal of difficulty and pain, and with- out ability to bring it in front of the other.
