PINDING. 
This is a complaint with which lambs are afflicted, gene¬ 
rally when very young. The fascial discharge is of a thin, 
glutinous consistence, which has the effect of making the 
tail adhere to the anus, effectually interrupting the pas¬ 
sage of the dung, and proves most injurious to the lamb, 
sometimes causing its death. This is, however, completely 
prevented by docking the tail a day or two after birth.
