Synopsis
Excerpt from The Spavin Group of Lameness
Historically, spavin is perhaps the oldest lameness of the horse. Standing in the foremost rank economically, it has received at least as much, if not more study than any other. Grouped about this malady and certainly allied, if not identical, to it, in cause and pathology, is a long'list of separately de scribed affections, some of which may well challenge the suprem acy of spavin itself in their frequency and power of diminishing or destroying the usefulness of the horse. We have, therefore, elected to give spavin the title role, rather from convenience than from an inherent right of this one affection to dominate the nomenclature of this extensive group. Among the most com mon and important members of the group, in their approximate order of frequency and economic importance, we would mention spavin, navicular disease, ringbone, sidebone, sesamoiditis, spinitis, gonitis, carpitis, humero - radial arthritis, scapulo-humeral arthritis, etc. In the observations of Dr. Fisher spavin should occupy third or fourth place in frequency.
Taken as' a group, they constitute by far the most important lamenesses and, in the destruction of the value of the horse, take high rank among all diseases to which this animal is liable.
