If the stable bottoms, or floors, or yards are filthy, see that they are properly cleaned, as filthiness is one of the causes of this disease. The same treatment will apply to scratches, as they are the same disease in a different form. To avoid scratches and grease-heel during the winter, or indeed at any other season, the hair on the mule's heels should never be cut.
Nor should the mud, in winter season, be washed off, but allowed to dry on the animal's legs, and then rubbed off with hay or straw. This washing, and cutting the hair off the legs, leave them without any protection, and is, in many cases, the cause of grease-heel and scratches. The foot, its diseases, and how to shoe it properly, is a subject much discussed among horsemen.
