THRUSH IN FEET. 



Thrush is known liy a dark gray, unhealthy secretion of matter oozing from the 

 middle or either side of the frog of a horse's foot. This discharge, if neglected, is 

 lialile to eat its way through tlie sole of the foot, oftentimes involving the joints and 

 sometimes causing intense lameness and swelling of the limbs. It is at this stage of 

 the disease that blood poisoning is liable to set in and death results. 



This disease affects both horses and mares, more often affectin,g the front feet 

 of geldings or stallions and the hind feet of mares, this being due to the fdth and 

 moisture caused by the urine. 



Treatment. 



Thrusli is to be treated by cleanliness — the removal of all direct causes and a 

 return of the frog to its normal condition. The diseased or ragged condition of the 

 frog should be pared away, and in severe eases the foot should be poulticed for a few 

 days with the Antiseptic Poultice, The center of the frog and the grooves on either 

 side are tlien to lie cleaned and well filled with wads of cotton soaked in Gcriu 

 Killer (full strength). The foot should be dressed in this manner once daily. If 

 there be intense fever in the feet and swelling of the limbs, this will indicate that 

 the horse requires internal treatment. For this give a Physic Ball and fnllow with 

 Horse Tonic ; but in all mild cases of Thrush in the feet, pack the frog and affected 

 parts with wads "f cntton soaked in Germ Killer I'full strenfUbl and y-n will o\'er- 

 come the ilisease.
