Fig. 119. lar bone, os pedis, or the pedal articulation, by sharp objects, especially nails, is called "penetrating street-nail," or simply " street ; The resistance of the ground to the weight of the body drives these penetrating objects through the sole or frog into the foot. Hind hoofs are more often aifected than fore-hoofs. A favorite point of entrance is the lateral lacuna of the frog. Street-nail is favored by ex- cessive thinning of the sole and frog. Symptoms.—The symptoms are, as a rule, sudden pain fol- lov?ed by lameness. The first assistance is usually sought in the shoeing-shop. If the cause of lameness be found to be a penetrating nail, piece of glass, or other pointed foreign body, it must be carefully dravm out, in doing which we should re- move the entire object, not allowing pieces to break off and re- main in the wound. Since it is always important to know in what direction and how deep the foreign body has penetrated, in order to be able to estimate the gravity of the wound, it is advisable in all cases to preserve the penetrating body, that it may be shown to the veterinarian, in case his services are required. In slight injuries to the velvety tissue of the sole or frog, accompanied with moderate pain, it is of no benefit to enlarge the opening, though the horn of the sole or frog should be thinned for the space of an inch or more around the wound, followed by coohng applications.
