=WIND PUFFS.=--An accumulation of synovia in the cavities between the
tendons of the legs, especially between the back tendons and the bone
just above the fetlock joint. The bulging out is on each side of the
tendon. Horses subjected to severe exertions, like hard work on the
roads, are most frequently affected. The puffs or galls seldom cause
lameness or interfere with the usual work. Unless treated the puffs will
become thicker and harder and sometimes solidified. When this happens
lameness occurs. In the early stages, pads and bandages, if applied so
as to cause pressure, will tend to remove the galls. If this treatment
is not sufficient, then use a teaspoonful of biniodide of mercury, and 4
tablespoonfuls of lard. When mixed, these should be rubbed on with the
fingers. After 24 hours remove with water and soap and repeat every
other week until the puffs disappear.
=WIND SUCKING.=--See Cribbing.
=WORMS.=--See Intestinal Worms in Horses and Sheep; and Stomach Worms.
=WORMS IN HOGS.=--Hogs with worms in the intestines run down in
condition, become very thin and lank, back is arched, eyes dull, refuse
feed, walk stiffly, and appear lifeless. The worms may be very numerous,
in bad cases completely filling the intestines. The pigs die if not
treated. To secure the best results, affected hogs should receive
individual treatment. Twenty-four hours before administering treatment
very little feed should be given them. Then give the following medicine
as a drench to each 100-pound hog; larger or smaller hogs should receive
a dose in proportion: 4 tablespoonfuls of oil of turpentine, one-half
teaspoonful of liquor ferri dialysatus and 6 ounces of raw linseed oil.
If necessary, repeat the dose in four days.
