 BONES, Etc. 



Splint. 



This consists of a deposit of bone-like 

 material usually at the back of and a little 

 above the middle of the canon-bone, more 

 rarely at the side or front of the latter. 



Lameness Is very common during the 

 time that a splint Is being formed, and 

 should the groom detect any extra In 

 this region, no time should be lost In telling 

 the owner, so that he may consult his 

 veterinary adviser.
