AILING ANIMALS 
Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
How Founder Is Caused 
Practically every owner of horses 
knows that an attack of founder may fol¬ 
low a long, fast drive upon a hard road ; 
the sudden drinking of ti large quantity 
of cold water when the horse is hot and 
tired from such a drive, or hard work in 
the field: the sudden eating of a large 
quantity of unaccustomed feed, such as 
wheat or rye, when a horse has broken 
loose in the stable; an attack of indiges¬ 
tion. due to any cause, known or mys¬ 
terious, and from attacks of debilitating 
diseases', such as influenza or shipping 
fever. Many of them, however, do not 
recognize as actual causes of the worst 
attacks of founder, the giving of a big 
aloes physic ball to a fat horse without 
preparing him for it by feeding two or 
more bran mashes; the repeated large 
doses of raw linseed oil or other laxative 
or purgative medicine given to a horse 
suffering from stoppage of the bowels, and 
especially infection of the uterus (septic 
metritis) caused by retention of the 
afterbirth, or a part of it after foaling. 
The latter is the true cause of ‘"colt foun¬ 
der,” which is. perhaps, the most serious 
and ruinous form of the disease. 
Why do these influences cause founder? 
That question cannot be answered by the 
average horseman, and it is one that 
should be better understood. Let us try 
to explain the mystery in simple lan¬ 
guage. The foot inside of the horny box 
or hoof is covered with sensitive, red 
tissue called pododonn. This is a con¬ 
tinuation of the sensitive layer of the 
skin, called the dermis, while the horny 
wall is a" continuation of the insensitive 
upper layer of skin, called the epidermis. 
Mucous membrane lining every organ of 
the body that is open to the outer air is 
closely .associated with skin and all sen¬ 
sitive tissues. If one part suffers from 
inflammation, other similar parts suffer 
in sympathy. Irritation of the mucous 
membranes lining the digestive tract, for 
instance, induces sympathetic irritation 
or inflammation of other mucous mem¬ 
branes. and also of sensitive tissue, such 
as the pododerm of the feet. In the 
same way inflammation of the mucous 
membrane lining the uterus induces sym¬ 
pathetic irritation and inflammation of 
the pododerm ; hut concussion upon hard 
roads induces mechanical or local con¬ 
gestion. followed by inflammation, indi¬ 
cated by founder. The technical name of 
the disease is laminitis, or inflammation 
of the sensitive lamina*, or leaves of the 
foot which hold the horny wall iu place. 
When inflammation of the sensitive 
lamina? occurs, blood pressure is great, the 
horny wall does not “give,” great pain 
is caused, fluid from the blood, known ns 
blood plasma <or serum, pours into the 
tissues, and later an excessive secretion of 
horn-building cells occurs between the 
lamina* and the wall. There being no 
room for these secretions and exudates, 
the coffin or pedal bone of the foot is 
forced backwards so that it stands upon 
its toe in the hoof. That causes the bulg¬ 
ing downward of the sole, which is termed 
“dropped sole,” a serious, incurable con¬ 
dition seen after the worst attacks of 
founder, notably, “colt founder.” 
_ The fact that the hoof forms rings and 
ridges and grows out long at tjie toe of 
the foundered forefeet shows that the dis¬ 
ease causes unnatural secretion of horn- 
building material. This takes place f<v- 
ward from the sensitive laminae at the 
toe and downward from the coronary hand 
at the hoof head. The growth is irregu- 
lar an.d the product of growth unnatural 
or imperfect, so that affected feet are un¬ 
sound. The disturbance is chiefly located 
at the front of the foot and toe, and it is 
for that reason that the foundered horse 
tries to walk upon his heels. 
Knowing, then, that founder is a sym¬ 
pathetic or reflex condition associated 
with other influences which usually are 
preventable, the horse owner should use 
his best endeavor to avoid and prevent 
the causes we have mentioned here.

Lice; Bloat 
1. What will destroy ljee on stock or 
fowls? 2. What is a good remedy for 
bloat? We have one cow that bloats up. 
New York. s. n. 
To keep lice off stock the stables must 
he made sanitary. That includes having 
them light, perfectly ventilated, clean 
and dry. Before putting the stock into 
such prepared stables in Autumn they 
should, if lousy, be groomed with a hard 
brush dipped in raw linseed oil. This 
treatment may be repeated as found noces 
fv‘iry. Lice on fowls are killed by dusting 
fluoride of sodium upon infested parts 
or dipping the fowl in a solution of one 
ounce of the fluoride to one gallon of 
tepid water. Houses and roosts also have 
to be cleansed, treated with kerosene and 
whitewashed by spraying. 2. When a 
cow is afflicted with chronic bloating tu¬ 
berculosis is such a probable cause that 
the first step in treatment should be to 
have her tested with tuberculin. Any 
qualified veterinarian can apply the test, 
and in hot weather it would lie best for 
him to test by the iutradermal or ophthal¬ 
mic method. a. s. a.
