Later, unless an unusually large exostosis is formed, which may cause a constant irritation due to its size and juxtaposition to the carpus, lameness is discontinued. Symptomatology. Lameness is usually the first manifestation of this disorder, and the thing which characterizes splint lameness is its peculiar intermittence.
Horses that are "knee sprung" or that have a congenital condition where in the anterior line, as formed by the radius, carpal and metacarpal bones, is bent forward at the carpus, are subject to inflammation and contraction of the carpal flexors. When these flexors are contracted, the condition is commonly known among horsemen as "buck knee." Symptomatology.
Recurrent attacks in cases where insufficient time is allowed for complete recovery to result, is followed by chronic inflammation and hypertrophy of the tendons. Again, in subjects where conformation is faulty, no amount of care will be sufficient to prevent a recurrence of the inflammation and the condition must become chronic. Symptomatology.
Not infrequently, the result of a trauma, division of the tendo Achillis occurs. Möller states that rupture of this tendon may be due to jumping, in riding horses and in draught horses, in their efforts to avoid slipping. In runaways, it sometimes occurs where sharp-edged implements are bounced against the legs in such fashion that division of the tendon results. Symptomatology.
Hoare reports a case of a mare that had produced fracture in jumping. Fracture of the other tarsal bones are very seldom observed but may be occasioned by contusions wherein multiple or comminuted fractures are produced, such as are to be seen in small animals. Symptomatology. Great pain attends this accident according to the observations given in recorded cases.
Yet in many instances, especially in country practice, no infectious arthritis results where cases are promptly cared for. Symptomatology. A difference in the character of symptoms is evidenced when dissimilar causes exist.
In foals of one or two days of age, this tendon is sometimes found parted or ruptured and the condition may be bilateral. Symptomatology.
Transverse fractures do not readily unite because of the tension of the triceps muscles, which prevent close approximation of the broken ends of the bone. Thompson , however, reports a case of transverse simple fracture of the ulna in a mare, the result of a kick, in which complete recovery took place. He kept the subject in a sling for six weeks and then allowed six months rest. Symptomatology.
Nail punctures resulting in infection frequently cause an infectious lymphangitis and a marked and painful swelling of the legs supervenes. Symptomatology. Lameness, mixed or swinging-leg, signalizes the presence of acute lymphangitis. There is always more or less swelling present and manipulation of the affected parts gives pain to the subject.
Certainly in general the least satisfactory of these chapters on the nature of delusions was the chapter on environmental effects, and this perhaps because the results seemed so nearly negative. A further contribution to delusions of environmental nature was somewhat unexpectedly derived from a piece of work on the general mental symptomatology of general paresis.
