46 CURINE-The Great 



week's rest, and if the lameness has not all disap- 

 peared, repeat the treatment with the CURINE. 

 If the ligaments of the joint are ruptured the lame- 

 ness may last Quite a while. 



FROG BRUISE. 



A bruise of the frog usuaJly happens from the 

 animal stepping on a hard object. If a stone is 

 wedged between the sides of the frog, or in the 

 cleft of the frog, and allowed to remain there for 

 some time it may produce the same result, espe- 

 cially if he is moving at a fast gait. 



SYMPTOMS.— When the animal moves, the toe is 

 placed to the ground, and when he is resting the 

 leg is extended, with the toe resting on the ground. 

 This is done in order to keep all pressure from the 

 frog. When the injured spot is found and no open- 

 ing exists, it should be pared through until a thin 

 watery pus escapes; if a ragged opening exists and 

 a greenish pus is escaping, gangrene of the plantar 

 cushion has set in. 



TREATMENT.— Remove the shoe, pare the sole 

 down thin and poultice the foot for a couple of 

 days. When the pus has loosened the horn, all the 

 detached portions should be cut away. If gan- 

 grene of the plantar cushion has set in, one-half 

 of the frog, or probably the whole of it, will be 

 found to have separated from the plantar cushion 

 and should be removed with the knife. In a couple 

 of days the unhealthy portion of the cushion will 

 slough off from the effects of the poultice. Now 

 take a camel's hair brush and pencil the wound
