kave a disease in the gambrel joint, cal
led spavin. ' It t tiuens the joint and ren
tiers then lame until, after having been
in motion a littlo wlifie, the parts become
wurm and tht lumeness ceases. There
are several kinds of spavin, but we ail
dam see any attempts mails to cure them
by any operation, exeept occasionally
applying aometlting externally, avhicb ia
of little use. n e anpnose one reason
why nothing more is done, is this: The
disease tines not wholly unfit tho horse
fr work, and therefore he is either aold
rheap for that purpose, or kept and put
to the ordinary drudgery of a iSrm. We
have seen a species of spavin that con
isieJ in what surgeons call a varicose
rein, that. is, the coat of the vein in tlint
part become strenched, weak and flabhy.
and of course hulire out and form a swel
ling. This can he cured only by cutting
and tiring up tha vein below, to aa to
prevent any blood from -passing through
that portion. This oaeration is souie-
timesliable to cause wa inflammation of
ilie scia,er reins, in that part, which is
dangerous. .
Another kind of spavin is caused by a
tack forming or enlarging in the part, frf
Ird with yno via or joint water, and al?o
a thicker and more gelatinous kind
f fluid. This may be cured by opening
the sack, and sometimes by taking them
out entirely. This operation is oftentimes
mended with inflammation, which is liable
to cauxe a perfect and permanent stiffness
cf the ioint. A nother species of spavin
i caused by the growth or projection of
small bone, called ry surgeons an - ex
ononis," and. by farriers a .splint. W e
luve nver seen thi cored, and have al
ways conaiderd it incurable; but a writer
in the Albany Cultivator, (No. 0. vol. 3.)
'ays he currd one in the following man
ner : A few years since," .ays he,
"one of my carriage horses was badly
spavined, so much as to be almost nseli-ss.
1 Vint thrown, then cut the skin im-
Tuediutely over the spavined bone in the
shape of a , then peeled it down mutt
the bone was' exoosed. I then tMk a
rhinfl and ith a tlow or two from a mal
lei, I soon cut off the boncThe horse
soon recovered: it has been four 3-ear,s
since; and not the least return of t'e dis
ease."
