At first there is simply inflam- mation, with some swelling, mak- ing the part very tender and sore; if this is not arrested or dis- persed, matter will form and penetrate in different directions, around and between the dorsal vertebra, and under the shoulder blade, before it comes to the sur- face. Consequently the fistula may extend to both sides, and if neglected, may seriously involve the bones, in which case the cure will be proportionately more difficult.
