Dr Le Gear's stock book Dr. Le Gear's stock book ... comprising a description of the general care, feeding and watering, stabling and breeding, and all the diseases and their treatment, of stock in Texas and the South .. . drlegearsstockbo00lege Year: 1897 Dr. LeG-eae's Stock Book. 185 return even in young animals. Special atten- should be paid to the shoeing. Be sure that ^ the feet are balanced from side to side. If he drops on his toe while traveling and wears his shoe at the toe most, the toe is too high or too long, and it must be lowered. If the toe can not be lowered sufficiently, attach heel corks to the shoe. If he lands on the heels first while at speed, and wears his shoe at the heels most, his heels are too high, and must be lowered to overcome the trouble. A stim- ulating liniment, as Dr. LeGrear^s (see Appen- dix), or even a good blister, as Dr. LeGear's Spavin Cure, or the firing iron, may be found very beneficial in cases of knee sprung.

SPRAIN OF THE FETLOCK. This is most common in the forelegs, and usually affects one at a time. Horses doing fast work and those that interfere are particularly liable to this injury. Causes.—It is generally produced by a misstep, stumbling, slipping, etc., or where the foot is caught in a rut, hole in a bridge, or in a car track.
