Young's Demonstrative Translation of Scientific Secrets · Chapter 112363. Sprain in the Stifle

This chapter is not translated yet. You are reading the original.

Symptoms—The horse holds up his foot, moans when moved, swells in the stifle. This is what is called stifling; there is no such thing as this joint getting out of place.

Treatment—Bleed two gallons, foment the stifle with hot water, rub it dry, then bathe it well with the general liniment every morning and night, give him mash, and he will soon be well. Never allow any stifle-shoe or cord on the foot or leg.
