Immediately a wound is inflicted in this position, attempts should be made to insure thorough asepsis of the part. When possible, by far the better way of accomplishing this will be to wholly immerse the foot in a tub of cold antiseptic solution, and keep it there for an hour three times daily. During the time the foot is out of the solution the wound should be protected with a pad of carbolized tow or other suitable dressing, and wrapped in a linen bandage or clean bag. If unable to use the bath, then antiseptic solutions of more than moderate strength should be freely applied to the wound and the adjacent parts, a carbolized or other antiseptic pad placed over it, and the bandage adjusted as before. Repeated injuries to the cartilages, even if not attended with an actual wound, are apt to bring about their ossification and end in the formation of side-bones. B. QUITTOR. _Definition_.--A fistulous wound of the foot, usually opening at the coronet, and variously complicated according to the structures invaded by its contained pus. For the reason that quittor is in every-day veterinary nomenclature _usually_ associated with necrosis or other abnormal condition of the lateral cartilage, we include its description in this chapter. _Classification_.--It has been customary with Continental authors to classify quittor according to the extent and position of the diseased process. There were thus distinguished: _(a)_ The _Simple_ or _Cutaneous Quittor_, in which had occurred nothing more than necrosis of a portion of the coronary skin and the structures immediately underlying it--that is, the superficial portion of the coronary cushion. _(b)_ The _Tendinous Quittor_, in which not only the immediately subcutaneous tissues were attacked, but also portions of tendon and of ligament. _(c)_ The _Sub-horny Quittor_, in which the diseased process had invaded the deeper portions of the coronary cushion, and continued a downward course until the laminal tissue below the upper margin of the wall was involved, or any other case, no matter what the starting-point, in which pus existed within the horny box and was discharging itself by a fistulous opening. _(d)_ The _Cartilaginous Quittor_, in which a portion of the lateral cartilage had become attacked and rendered necrotic.
