With proper shoeing, and by putting the subject at suitable work, where concussion of fast travel on hard roads is not necessary, the best results are obtainable. Laminitis. This disease is primarily a non-infective inflammation of the sensitive laminae which very frequently affects the front feet. Occurrence.
There is no putrefaction, and therefore no putrid odour; and the condition being non-infective, there is not necessarily any constitutional disturbance.
Infection occasions more pronounced local symptoms of inflammation and, because of the rapid progress of necrotic destruction of cartilage, the course of the affection is usually rapid; ankylosis is a frequent result and loss of the subject is often inevitable. However, in non-infective arthritis of the fetlock joint, prognosis is favorable. Treatment.
These inflammations are usually non-infective in character. The cul-de-sac of the capsular ligament of the fetlock joint which extends upward between the bifurcation of the suspensory ligament is the most frequently affected structure in this region. When distended, two spheroidal masses bulge laterally and anterior to the flexor tendons in a characteristic manner.
As has been previously referred to, there always exists a peculiar suspension of carpal flexion in all cases of carpitis. Non-infective wounds which may cause open joint are not necessarily productive of an active carpitis a synovitis may be the extent of the disturbance.
Direct injury such as blows may be the cause of synovial distension of thecae and the affection is to be seen in all horses that have done much fast work on hard road surfaces or pavements. The usual case as it occurs in practice is a non-infective synovitis, but where puncture wounds cause the trouble, an infectious inflammation obtains. Symptomatology.
The anatomy of the metacarpophalangeal articulation is briefly reviewed on page 58 under the heading of "Anatomo-Physiological Review of Parts of the Foreleg." Etiology and Occurrence. The chief causes of non-infective arthritis of the fetlock joint are irritations from concussion and contusions due to interfering.
