Ring-bone (high). Rings on the Feet, which may be described as ridges running round the outside walls of the hoof, are always to be regarded with suspicion, as they may be the result of laminitis. They are also sometimes caused by a horse having been turned out on damp land. If the coronet has been blistered, rings occasionally appear on the hoof for a few months, and then die away. (See Lamimtis.) Ringworm.—This most objectionable disease is highly contagious, and consequently an affected animal should be isolated. It is often a result of a horse on a journey being baited in a dirty stable, and hence due precautions should be taken to see that strange premises are clean. Symptoms.—Small rings or patches appear, on which the hair stands up and eventually falls off, leaving bare places. Treatment. — Apply an ointment of iodine one part, lard eight parts, without delay. 276
