. Common diseases of farm animals. Veterinary medicine. 158 NON-SPECIFIC OR GENERAL DISEASES of the animal's gait and the portion of the wall that strikes the part, and by practising intelligent methods of shoeing. Slight injuries should be treated by the application of antiseptic pow- ders. The treatment for injuries to the periosteum is the same as that recommended for splints. As a last resort boots and button rings may be used for the purpose of preventing serious injury to that part which is struck by the foot. „_ Ring-bone.—Chronic in- flammation of the articula- tion between the first and sec- ond bones of the digit is temied ring-bone (Fig. 35). Not all ring-bones involve the articular surfaces. The peri- articular, or false ring-bone, is a chronic inflammation of the bone near the articular sur- face. The bony enlargement varies in size. It may form a ring encircling the part, or it may be limited to the lateral surface of the joint. The bony enlargement may be so small as to be detected only by a careful examination. Ring-bone may occur on any of the feet, but it is said to be more common in the front feet. The predisposing cause of ring-bone is faulty conformation. Long, weak pasterns that are predisposed to strains, upright pasterns, especially if small, and exposed to concussion and jar- ring, and crooked feet that distribute the weight on the part irregularly are important factors in the production of ring-bones. The external causes are sprains or any injury to the region. Lameness is nearly always present. The degree of lameness.
