. Diseases of the horse's foot . Hoofs; Horses. 288 DISEASES OF THE HOESE'S FOOT filled with a yellow, semi-solid material, the remains of the inflammatory exudate and new horn secreted by the kerato- genous membrane. The laminae, both horny and sensitive, are greatly enlarged. This is a hypertrophy, resulting from the continued effects of the inflammation, and leads in time to the formation of laminae quite three or four times their normal size. It is this hypertrophy of the laminae and the pressure of the exudate that causes the bulging and increased growth of the horn at the toe (see Fig. 1

Fig, 125.—Longitudinal Section of a Foot with Laminitis of Several Years' Duration. contributes towards the oval formation of the foot we have mentioned before. In the longitudinal section the first thing noticeable is the change in position of the bones, more especially in that of the OS pedis. The circumstances we have mentioned before—pressure of the exudate upon it in front and tension of the perforans on it behind—have caused it to assume a more upright position than is normal, so much so that in a bad case the front of the bone becomes quite vertical. This vicious direction the other bones of the digit follow (see Fig. 125)..
