The lameness increases ia severity as the disease advances,and in a few days the animal presents a lank appearance, andbegins to lose condition. In some cases the sensitive structures of the affected foot orfeet lose their cohesion, and the horny walls hang loose aroundthem, separated from the inflamed tissues within, except at theupper edge of the foot. The horny sole crumbles away as seenin Fig. 77, the sensitive tissues are exposed, and soon sprout asmasses of fungus. The animal is now unable to put its lamefeet to the ground, and will crawl
