SPRAIN OF THE FETLOCK.

Sprain, or _strain_, as it is commonly termed, sometimes arises from

violent exertions; at other times, by the animal unexpectedly treading

on some uneven surface.

_Treatment._--First wash the foot clean, then carefully examine the

cleft, and remove any substance that may have lodged there. A cotton

bandage folded around the claws and continued above the fetlock, kept

wet with the following lotion, will speedily reduce any excess of

inflammatory action that may exist:--

Acetic acid, 1 ounce.

Water, 1 pint.

_Another._

Vinegar, 1 pint.

Water, 3 pints.
