WOUNDS OF ALL KINDS. 



For wounds we refer you to the explanation of wounds givea 



in horses, for they happen in a similar manner and are treated th« 



same ; but, in sewing the skin in cattle you will find it toughM 



and a little harder to sew than in the horse. 



Am UNDER THE SKIN CAUSED FROM A WOUND. 



Sometimes from a very small wound in the ox, air gets und*t 

 the skin into the tissue which connects the skin to the body. 

 The amount of air which gets in varies greatly, sometimes only a 

 small amount works in just around the wound, while again w« 

 have seen cases where so much air would work in that it spread 

 all over the body under the skin and make the animal look doublt 

 its natural size. The way to be sure it is air, is to rub your hand over 

 the skin and it will make a peculiar crackling noise. 



Treatment — The main thing to be done in this, is to tap tha 

 skin in several places around where the air is with a penknife and 

 let the air escape ; rub the skin to get all the air out, and after 

 this give the skin a good rubbing once a day with white liniment, 

 then give the wound the treatment given for wounds, and in 

 a few days the air will all disappear. This disease is sometimaa 

 met with in the horse and is treated the same. 



HAGGOTS Uf NEGLECTED WOUNDS.
