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.
