. Fig. 120.—Diagram of Hoof showing the position of the Three Grooves made in the Treatment of Laminitis. The animal is cast, the shoes removed, and three vertical grooves made in the wall. The first is cut down the centre of toe, extending from the coronet to the ground surface. The second is made to the right of this, and the third to the left, each following 2 inches from the first (see 1, 2, and 3, Fig. 120). Each of the grooves must run completely from the coronary margin to the ground surface, and each should be carried through the substance of the horn until the horny laminae are reache
