HORSE DRIVEN WITH
FRACTURED HIP

One day last week a horse drawing
hack on the Pail road slipped while
turning round and fell. The animal got
up and was driven to town apparently
uninjured
For two days following the accident
the horse was driven.
on the third day the animal went
lame, being unable to bear any weight
on its off hind leg.
DR. A. r Rowat was called in and
found the poor creature to be suffering
from a badly fractured hip.
The curious thing is that the horse
could have stood up SO long with such
an injury.
DR.. Rowat's explanation of this is
that the fracture was held together by
the muscles and finally knocked apart
by the horse getting up in its stall. He
has the animal under treatment in his
infirmary at present and is hopeful of
saving it for further usefulness.
Many years ago the owner of the
horse had similar accident happen to
another animal belonging to him. DR..
Rowat had the case. but was obliged To
put an end to suffering with a bullet
