Sweeny. 
Sweeny is by no means as common as a great many 
think for. In nine cases out ‘of ten thought t» be sweeny 
the trouble is either in the foot or some other portion of the 
limb. 
Cause—It is usually caused by being bruised either from 
a fall or from the collar not fitting in hauling, ploughing, 
etc. 
HOW TO KNOW IT. 
There is soreness, lameness and wasting away of the 
muscles of the shoulder blade. A horse with sweeny will 
rest his foot on the toe without extending it. Rest some- 
times seems to relieve sweeny, but work brings it on again. 
WHAT TO DO. 
Puncture the shoulder as in bog spavin and repeat it 
every eight days for three or four weeks and use this lini- 
ment all the time.
