General Management in Disease 



Chorea (Twitch, Jumps, St Vitus' Dance) 



The dog is the most frequent sufferer from 

 this complaint, which in 99 cases out of every 100 

 exists as a sequel to distemper. 



It is denoted by an involuntary twitching of the 

 muscles, and may be confined to some particular 

 region, such as the head, limbs, etc., or distributed 

 over the body. It is practically incurable. 



Shivering in the horse is an allied condition, and 

 also incurable. The causes of chorea are variable 

 and the pathology of an obscure nature. 



Chronic Cough 



The term chronic cough is applied to such 

 coughing efforts as are of a permanent nature in 

 the horse, and is symptomatic of disease, either in 

 the respiratory apparatus, stomach, etc. Thus, 

 for instance, the cough is chronic in broken wind, 

 glanders, etc. It constitutes unsoundness. 



Coffin Bone (Fractured) 



This bone is lodged within the hoof, and in 

 exceptional instances it gets broken through 

 external violence. In some cases the fracture 

 has been preceded by caries (disease) of the bone.
