Id Ringbone is of two kinds-true ar
vi false. The false ringbone is an enlarg
TO ment situated above the middle OF Il
E. bone. When very large, it may cauf
ID lameness. As a rule, however, It neve
10 gives inconvenience to the animal.
l. The true ringbone is quite anothe
@ matter. There are two kinds-the hig
q and the low. It is called high when
l. involves the bone Immediately above tn
8 joint.
9 Ringbone, whether high or low, varie
d in size but the degree of lameness doe
Q not depend upon the size of the forma
r ton. An animal may be very lame will
but little deposit, and another may shoy
but little lameness with very larg.
5 ringbone. Very often the circle of The
ring is defective, apd thedeposit appears
, only on one side Of the limb, or on both
, sides, and none in front. When at the
| sides they do not cause the same degree
!, of lameness as when in front.
Ringbones ara not the cause, but the
result Of disease, being the resnlt of an
Inflammation originating in the bone.
Shoulder Sip.-This is sprain or
lacerat1on of the fbres of the spinatus

expressed in recent cases, and wasting OF
the muscles just named. In the majori-
ty Of cases actual laneness does not oc-
cur. There will be hollow space upon
either side Of the soapular spine, extend.
ing it's whole length.
Shoulder Lameness. - The gait of
shoulder lameness is indicative of the
seat of disease. The patient does not
carry his limb straight forward, but with
rotary motion. tho limb being thrown
outwards, and the toe made to form the
segment of circle; in other words, he
brings the leg forward, with a sort of
sweep, and the toe Is dragged or trailed |
on the ground.
In shoulder or knee lameness, the
signs of pain are more discernible during
the elevation Of the .oot from the ground; |
whereas, in foot and other diseases below
the knee, the converse is the rule. .,uf
