Bone Spavin 
I have a five-year-old horse that got a 
nail in the frog of his hind foot about 
two months ago. The infection from 
same went up through his foot and the 
foot broke just above the heel. By poul¬ 
tices, etc., I finally got it cleaned out and 
saved the hoof. The foot is all right now. 
A new frog has grown in and it is all 
healed and no soreness whatever. But 
on his leg. just in front of the hock joint, 
there is a bunch about the size of half 
an orange; it is not sensitive, as I can 
rub it hard without his flinching. There 
does not seem to be any heat or inflam¬ 
mation in it, but he is lame, and I think 
the lameness comes from that joint, not 
from the foot. The bunch is quite hard, 
and I am afraid it might develop into a 
spavin. Can you suggest anything I 
could do for this? H. j. d. 
New York. 
A bone spavin apparently is present, 
and if it is the cause of lameness it would 
be well to have the veterinarian fire and 
blister the spavin and entire hock joint. 
Then keep the horse tied up short in a 
stall for six weeks. As a result of nail 
prick it is, however, quite common for a 
horse to develop ringbone, which always 
causes lameness. Your veterinarian 
therefore should make a careful examina¬ 
tion for ringbone and puncture, fire and 
blister the coronet and pastern of ring¬ 
bone if found present. a. s. a.
