DOMESTIC ANIMALS. 59 tender condition and easily the subject of change, when conditions are unfavorable to the normal development of the bone. Winter training is particularly adapted to act as a cause of sore shins, on account of the severe concussions to which horses are subject when galloped on frozen ground. Symiytoms —Lameness in one or both limbs, after becoming very pronounced in a day or two, slight swell- ing, usually beginning on the front of the lower part of the metacarpal bone and sometimes extending upward, and to the sides. This swelling will have a doughy feel. There will be a good deal of tenderness on pressure being a2)plied. When very severe there is some fever and occasionally a loss of ajopetite. Treatment.—If the disease is dis- covered early, the leg should be placed in a bucket of hot water—as warm as can be comfortably borne by the hand —and renewed as often as required, to be continued for two or three hours, after which Heard's American Embro- cation should be well rubbed in and a woolen bandage aj^plied. This treat- ment to be repeated in twelve hours and continued until the skin gets somewhat roughened—the same as in a very light blister. This will usually be much bet- ter than blistering, because the soothing influence is more continuously applied. When severe, it is also ad- visable to give a cathartic ball containing four or five.
