Text Appearing Before Image:
How to know it.—Unsightly puffs are seen just in front of the point of the hock. They are soft and appear to be filled with air but it is synovial fluid that distends them. Thoroughpin usually accompanies bog spavin but it may exist without the latter.

What to do.—When first seen, apply a cooling lotion, made as follows : No. 12. 1 Ounce muriate of ammonia, 1 Ounce saltpetre, 1 Quart water, Mix.
Bathe the part with hot water, rub dry and apply the lotion three times a day, giving absolute rest. Follow this up for a week, then, after bathing with the hot water, apply the liniment No. 11, well rubbed in, twice a day. When the part gets sore from the liniment, hold up a few days and grease the part with lard till nearly healed, then repeat. It cannot be permanently cured, for, when made to absorb by the treatment and rest, it will return with work. In case of a young colt getting thoroughpin, shorten his allowance of feed a little for a couple of months, and the puffs will become absorbed.
