GUN SHOT.

Grunter. — This name is used or applied to horses 

 which give forth a grunting noise. One condition giving 

 rise to wheezing, roaring, whistling, piping, and rattling, 

 will, with slight modification, produce a grunter. 



Observe — If the collar is not too tight on the neck, in- 

 terfering with the free passage of air in and out of the 

 windpipe. 



Causes, — Generally from some 

 thickening of the glands of the 

 neck or of the windpipe from the 

 efi'ects of bronchitis or distemper, 

 not treated, or improperly treated, 

 by not supporting the strength, 

 whereby all thickenings are taken 

 up, or reduced and even pre- 

 vented.

Gun Shot. — This is, except- 

 ing in times of war, a rare occur- 

 rence, and the treatment consists 

 in extracting the bullet, and 

 healing the wound as for an or- 

 dinary sore. The bullet is ex- 

 tracted by an instrument repre- 

 sented in the accompanying cut, 

 and is called Bullet Forceps. 

 The instrument is represented as 

 grasping the bullet; also in the 

 way it is introduced to extract 

 the ball.
