It eannot be permanently cured, for, when made to absorb by the treatment and rest, it will return with work. In case of a young colt getting thoroughpin, shorten his allowance of feed a little for a couple of months, and the puffs will become absorbed. VI. Curb. Curb is an enlargement on the b-iek of the hock and a little l)elow. It is seen in the form of a bowed section about four inches in length ; some- times it is swollen up as thick as an inch from the healthy foi'in, and some- times the enlargement is so slight as to be hardly noticeable. When in the inflammatory stage the swellings eause lameness, l)ut Avhen once well hai-den- ed they seldom do. The seat of the injury lies in the calcaneo-cuboid ligament and others lying near it. That form of hock kn(>wn as curljy hock is most liable to it. The form that merits that name is curved from the foot to the stifle, extending back- ward outside of the peri)endicular line drawn straight from the posterior point of the hip to the ground. It is sometimes called sickle or cow hock. On account of the curved out- lint! of the le!f there is a greatly increased strain on the back of the leg at the point of the greatest curvature. This is found at the hock, hence we freipiently have curbs on such legs. Causes.—A sprain of the ligaments of the back part
