Fistulas. 



Abscesses which have a small opening, with a 

 straight or sinuous canal, burrowing along beneath 

 the surface, among the muscles, tendons, sheaths, 

 and even bones, are called FISTULAS. They are dis- 

 tinguished according to their location, extent, and 

 general characteristics, as follows : 



FISTULA in the NECK, or Poll Evil ; fully described 

 in a preceding page, under that head. 



VENOUS FISTULA, from inflammation along the 

 course of a vein, from blood-letting. 



FISTULA IN ANO ; from docking too near the anus, 

 and improper treatment. 



FISTULA of the CORONA; generally on the inner 

 side of the corona or frog of the foot, and if the dis- 

 ease lasts some time, the entire hoof becomes affec- 

 ted and altered, the animal becomes lame, and walks 

 upon the toe.
